Net ticks: +0 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:

Stock Picks Recap for 9/15/15
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, TRVN triggered long (without market support due to opening 5 minutes) and didn't work:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, LULU triggered short (with market support) and worked:
GILD triggered long (with market support) and worked great:

A couple of big winners in the Opening Range plays, but then the market died off. Volume was the worst I've seen this year after 30 minutes and only closed at 1.3 billion NASDAQ shares. We closed right on the VWAP and spent the second half of the day in a 5 point range.

We had quarterly futures contract roll Friday, moving the December (Z5) contract. This basically means that the big players sit out for a day while the technicals settled. This happens once per quarter. Mixed results to go with that on the Opening Range plays. See that section below. NASDAQ volume was only 1.5 billion shares.
