Futures Calls Recap for 9/1/15
Another big gap down in the markets out of the blue. We got a feeble bounce early that failed and then things went lower, although the sell-off once we cracked lows wasn't as much as I was hoping for. NASDAQ volume was 2.0 billion shares. No main calls as we barely touched a Level, but see the Opening Range plays below.
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:

The FX Levels were incorrect and Mark is traveling in Turkey and could not be reached to fix, so we went without them. Turns out, it probably saved us as the range on the EURUSD was poor. Only the Break levels are correct in the charts below, but I've included the action anyway.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:

Stock Picks Recap for 8/31/15
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, COMM triggered long (with market support) and didn't go enough either direction to count:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, AAPL triggered long (with market support) and didn't work immediately, worked later:
Rich's RIG triggered short (with market support) and didn't work:
AMGN triggered short (with market support) and worked great:
Rich's AAPL triggered short (with market support) and worked a little:
In total, that's 4 trades triggering with market support, 2 of them worked, 2 did not.

Net ticks: +7 ticks.

I thought we'd get some excitement in the back end of the day and I waited around for it, but in the end, it was as flat as the market was a few weeks ago on 1.7 billion NASDAQ shares. We gapped down, filled, and stuck in a narrow range for the whole session. Opening range plays worked a little again.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.

Futures Calls Recap for 8/27/15
A much slower day in the markets as we gapped up again but just drifted higher on much more limited volume, then rolled over to lows after lunch but did not fill the gaps, and then bounced a bit into the close on 2.1 billion shares. It was also the first day in a while that the Opening Range plays didn't work.
