Stock Picks Recap for 12/2/14
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.

Futures Calls Recap for 12/2/14
The markets gapped up, the NQ filled, and the ES didn't. We went higher from there. Our Opening Range plays worked on the NQ and ES, but we also had two calls trigger from our regular calls on the ES and work. See that section below. NASDAQ volume closed at 1.7 billion shares.
Net ticks: +10.5 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:

Futures Calls Recap for 11/25/14
Again, another example of a day where our Opening Range plays worked great, but we don't show those as regular calls. Meanwhile, on the ES call that I did post, I didn't retake it after it stopped once, and it would have worked great the second time, but volume was too light. Probably no calls Wednesday and definitely none for the half day Friday. The markets gapped up, filled the gap, went lower, and then stuck to the VWAP and closed even for the session on 1.4 billion NASDAQ shares.
Net ticks: -7 ticks.
