Forex Calls Recap for 9/28/15

Pretty uneventful start to the week. See the EURUSD section below. I'm on the road on a personal trip but will be back Tuesday evening.

Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:

EURUSD:

Triggered short at A and just barely stopped at B. Triggered long at C late in the session, note the Comber 13 sell signal, and closed for end of day:


Stock Picks Recap for 9/25/15

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, nothing triggered.

From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Mark's SWKS triggered long (without market support) and worked:

AMZN triggered short (with market support) and worked great:

Rich's AGN triggered short (with market support) and worked:

His AAPL triggered long (without market support) and worked:

In total, that's 2 trades triggering with market support, both of them worked.

Winners and losers, but a nice setup that eventually led to a big winner in the ES. Opening range plays also worked well. See all section below. NASDAQ volume closed at 1.8 billion shares and the market closed flat.

Net ticks: +17.5 ticks.

As usual, let's start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today's session:

ES Opening Range Play triggered short at A and worked:

NQ Opening Range Play triggered short at A and worked:

ES Tradesight Institutional Range Play:

NQ Tradesight Institutional Range Play:

ES:

Triggered short at A on a sweep and stopped, put it back in and triggered on another sweep at B and stopped, set the trigger again at C, triggered at D, hit first target for 6 ticks, filled gap, stopped second half at E:

NQ:

Just a reminder that we use half points for ticks on the NQ and not the quarter point measurement that the exchanges switched to in recent years. This allows us to use 6 ticks as a key target as we do on the other contracts. It also keeps the value of a tick at $10, closer to the value of a tick on the other contracts.

Triggered short at A and stopped. Put it back in and triggered soon after, hit first target, stopped second half over entry:

TEVA triggered short (with market support) and worked great:

We triggered both ways on the Opening Range plays, so a loser and then a winner, but the winners were nice. Another call for the afternoon didn't set up, but there was a better trigger on the ES with a cup and handle lined up against the LPT. After gapping down, the markets recovered some late on 1.7 billion NASDAQ shares.

Net ticks: +0 ticks.
