Stock Picks Recap for 6/23/15
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.

Forex Calls Recap for 6/23/15
No calls for the session for once due to a personal situation, but I think that the call that I would have made would have stopped. Meanwhile, there was a great 13 signal on the EURUSD that called the bottom after a good move. See that section below.

Anything in the first five minutes will be considered WITHOUT market support because market direction cannot be determined that early.

From the report, SPPI triggered long (without market support due to opening 5 minutes) and didn't go enough either way to count:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, we had additional calls, but nothing triggered.

Futures Calls Recap for 6/19/15
Not much for options expiration, although the Opening Range plays worked yet again (1 stop out and 2 winners) and the extra trade call was set up nice but didn't work on the ES. The ES left a small gap above and traded in a narrow range. Triple expiration was only 2.2 billion shares, which is obviously up (and not real) but not as big as a usual triple expiration.
Net ticks: -7 ticks.
