Stock Picks Recap for 1/9/15
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.

CROX triggered short (with market support) and worked:

Futures Calls Recap for 1/8/15
Some big winners with our ES and NQ opening range and even the institutional range plays, to the point that we didn't need to make any other calls. The markets gapped up anyway, and we opened just above the Pressure Thresholds, which was the clue that we weren't going to pull back. Meantime, NASDAQ volume was 2 billion shares, and we barely touched any other levels anyway.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.
