Stock Picks Recap for 12/15/15
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.
From the report, no triggers.

Futures Calls Recap for 12/15/15
The markets gapped up and held, drifting a bit higher for the session but covering barely half of average daily range. The nice setup for the gap fill didn't trigger. We had nice Opening Range Play winners though. NASDAQ volume closed at 1.9 billion shares as the markets wait for the Fed tomorrow.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.

Futures Calls Recap for 12/14/15
The markets opened fairly flat and got off to a choppy start, changing "market direction" 7 times in the first hour. The rest of the day got pretty flat. No official calls, and one Opening Range play that worked. NASDAQ volume was 1.9 billion shares, which is good volume for a day that seemed pretty non-technical.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.

Futures Calls Recap for 12/11/15
The markets gapped down big but you could tell the major players didn't participate, which is what we expect for quarterly contract roll. Nothing was very technical in behavior, and we drifted lower over lunch before coming back up to the VWAP. NASDAQ volume closed at 1.9 billion shares. I wasn't going to make any calls, but I ended up doing one anyway, and it stopped once and worked the second time. Opening ranges weren't really useful either. Back to it on Monday.
Net ticks: -4.5 ticks.

A dead overnight session. We stopped out of the second half of the prior day's EURUSD trade in the money, and then finally in the morning triggered the GBPUSD long, but closed it just 20 pips in the money for end of week because it didn't go far.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:
As usual on the Sunday report, we will look at the action from Thursday night/Friday, then look at the daily charts of all the pairs with the Seeker and Comber separately for the week ahead, and then glance at the US Dollar Index.
