Stock Picks Recap for 8/18/15
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.

Futures Calls Recap for 8/18/15
A good day to not post any calls. The markets gapped down a little and took an hour or more to fill. Volume was super light and will likely continue to be until the end of next week. Even nice technical setups like the ES against the Pivot today have a lesser chance of working without volume. We drifted lower and closed near lows on 1.25 billion NASDAQ shares. Mixed bag for once on the Opening Range Plays. See that section below.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.
