Stock Picks Recap for 7/8/15
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, nothing triggered.

A nice session for the set plays. I mentioned in the Lab that I wasn't thrilled with the Opening Range plays on a Monday with a gap, but the Institutional Range plays were more interesting. In addition, the ES Value Area play set perfectly and worked exactly to the target. In terms of the separate calls, the ES stopped twice against the Pressure Threshold and I didn't do it a third time (which would have worked. The markets ended up filling the gaps and that was it, but NASDAQ volume was only 1.6 billion NASDAQ shares and the markets ended up basically flat.
Net ticks: -14 ticks.
