Stock Picks Recap for 4/30/15
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.

EPZM triggered short (with market support) and worked:

Opening range plays worked both ways after the markets gapped down and wiggled around early on. The range was set early until the last two hours and then they strangely broke the market to the downside after lunch (on the last day of the month) on 2 billion NASDAQ shares.
