A fairly unexciting day in Forex finally. See GBPUSD section below.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:

Stock Picks Recap for 5/28/15
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, AGEN triggered long (without market support) and didn't work:
TRMB triggered short (with market support) and I posted to close it flat:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, FEYE triggered long (without market support just barely) and worked:
FSLR triggered short (with market support) and didn't work:
Rich's CAT triggered short (with market support) and didn't work:
His BABA triggered long (with market support) and didn't work:
In total, that's 3 trades triggering with market support, none of them worked, and the big winner was the daily chart long breakout without market support (FEYE).

Another dull session on 1.6 billion shares (but BRCM buyout news added 100 million that wouldn't have been there otherwise). The markets gapped down and did very little. We reached up to fill the gap right at the close. Once again, the Opening Range plays were great and the main call stopped. See ES section below.
Net ticks: -7 ticks.

Futures Calls Recap for 5/26/15
The markets gapped down and kept going, with most of the action in the first 45 minutes or so. NASDAQ volume closed at 1.5 billion shares. The Opening Range plays worked, although the ES trigger was too far outside of the OR to work, so I only did the NQ. See that section below. No official calls triggered.
