Stock Picks Recap for 1/14/16
With each stock's recap, we will include a (with market support) or (without market support) tag, designating whether the trade triggered with or without market directional support at the time. Anything in the first five minutes will be considered WITHOUT market support because market direction cannot be determined that early. ETF calls do not require market support, and are thus either winners or losers.

Futures Calls Recap for 1/14/16
The markets gapped up a little and headed lower, filling the gap and then accelerating for 30 minutes, then reversed hard quickly to recover part of the options unraveling sell off from Wednesday.

Futures Calls Recap for 1/13/16
The markets gapped up a little and then finally rolled and filled the gaps. Unfortunately, the Opening Range plays swept one way and then worked the other or we would have had a nice session. The markets really sold off badly and gave us what appears to be an options unraveling move in the process, strangely to the downside. We also had an ES call that worked on its own. NASDAQ volume was 2.3 billion shares.
Net ticks: -7.5 ticks.
