Futures Calls Recap for 6/8/15
The markets gapped down, tried to fill, ES missed by a tick or two, and then stuck in a narrow range for the first two hours, then finally headed lower on light volume over lunch, then came back up to the VWAP late and rolled once more to close at the lows on only 1.5 billion NASDAQ shares. Mixed results on the Opening Range plays, see that section below, and no need for additional calls with the first two hours so flat.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.

Two triggers on the EURUSD, both of which stopped. The long then triggered again and worked, but I wasn't quite awake in time to take it.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:
EURUSD:
Triggered short to the left of the edge of the chart at A and stopped. Triggered long at B, barely stopped at C, which was unfortunate. If you were awake or on the East Coast, could have put it back in at D and hit first target at E and beyond:
Stock Picks Recap for 6/5/15
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.
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's AAPL triggered short (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:
CELG triggered short (with market support) and didn't work:

Another day, and back to some really nice Opening Range Plays after a one day pause. See that section below. The markets gapped down and pushed sharply lower for 20 minutes, then came back to even and flatlined for the rest of the session. NASDAQ volume was 1.75 billion shares.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.

Futures Calls Recap for 6/4/15
The markets gapped down, wiggled a bit early, reached up to almost fill the gaps, and then retreated to the lows, which they broke over lunch and stayed lower until the last minutes of the day when we rallied to hit the VWAP again on 1.7 billion NASDAQ shares. For the first time in months, we had a couple of stop outs on the Opening Range plays, but the regular call on the NQ worked.
Net ticks: +8.5 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:
ES and NQ Opening and Institutional Range Plays:
ES Opening Range Play triggered short at A but as we said in the room, that was 3 full points under the OR, so we don't take. Triggered long at B and didn't work:
NQ Opening Range Play triggered long at A and didn't work. Triggered short at B and didn't work:
ES Tradesight Institutional Range Play:
NQ Tradesight Institutional Range Play:
NQ:
Just a reminder that we use half points for ticks on the NQ and not the quarter point measurement that the exchanges switched to in recent years. This allows us to use 6 ticks as a key target as we do on the other contracts. It also keeps the value of a tick at $10, closer to the value of a tick on the other contracts.
Triggered long at A at 4516.00, hit first target for 6 ticks, raised stop twice and stopped at 4521.50 for 11 ticks:
