Stock Picks Recap for 6/29/15
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 6/29/15
The markets gapped down big in response to the news out of Greece over the weekend. Initially, we headed back up (we did not fill the gaps), but then rolled back over. 90 minutes in, we were right where we started, and then over lunch, we broke lower and kept going...until we hit the key 2062.50 level on the ES. We even proceeded lower and closed at lows on 1.85 billion NASDAQ shares. The Opening Range plays worked great again, but with the gap, no other main levels were properly touched, so we made no extra calls.
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:

All of the major pairs gapped at the open Sunday due to the situation in Greece. The gaps were big enough on the GBPUSD and EURUSD that I didn't make any calls. The markets didn't behave very technically either. We will resume calls tonight but probably drop to half size with all that is going on.
