Stock Picks Recap for 8/26/15
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 calls.

Futures Calls Recap for 8/26/15
We made a regular call, but the volatility is still so crazy that it triggered immediately, we hit the first target, and stopped out of the second half in 5 minutes or less. See ES section below. The markets gapped up, drifted lower, bottomed out over lunch, but then rallied to highs on 2.4 billion NASDAQ shares in the afternoon. The gap is NOT filled.
Net ticks: +2.5 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:

The markets gapped up after the plunge on Monday and held up until after lunch in fairly tight range and then sold off sharply for the last hour to close in the red on 2.4 billion NASDAQ shares. The Opening Range plays worked great, so there was no need for main calls in the flat action. See that section below as we continue to take the easy trades in this volatility.

With the gap and expected volatility, I passed on the Opening Range plays (although the ES Institutional Range play would have worked great).
