Stock Picks Recap for 9/10/15
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, THRX gapped under the short trigger, no play.
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's FB triggered short (without market support) and worked enough for a partial:
Rich's APA triggered short (without market support) and worked great:
GS triggered short (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:
Rich's VXX triggered long (ETF, no market support needed) and didn't work:
In total, that's 2 trades triggering with market support, 1 of them worked, 1 did not. Both of the other triggers worked.

A little bit more of a stable session even though volume was light. Opening Range plays both worked again, and we had a nice clean winner in the ES after it lined up against the Pivot and made a cup and handle. Markets gapped down a little, filled early and then went flat before pushing up a bit in the second half of the day on 1.5 billion NASDAQ shares.
Net ticks: +9 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:

The markets gapped up again but this time sold off into negative territory on improved volume of almost 1.8 billion NASDAQ shares. We had a small winner in the NQ plus the Opening Range Plays worked again. See both sections below.
Net ticks: +2.5 ticks.

ust 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 at 4316.00 under UBreak after setting the level, hit first target for 6 ticks, stopped second half over entry:

Futures Calls Recap for 9/8/15
Volume looked strong early after the markets gapped up coming back from the long weekend, then slowed down after 30 minutes and only closed at 1.6 billion NASDAQ shares, which is a small move back up from Friday. The gaps did not fill and the markets closed at highs without trading average daily range. The Opening Range plays worked (see that section below) but we didn't make any additional calls as the big gap took us away from key levels and volume was so light.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.
