Stock Picks Recap for 11/10/14
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.
From the report, JBLU triggered long (with market support) and worked:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's TSLA triggered short (with market support) and didn't work:
His BABA triggered short (without market support) and worked enough for a partial:

Futures Calls Recap for 11/10/14
After a really slow opening hour, we got a nice play on the NQ. See that section below. NASDAQ volume closed at 1.7 billion shares. Tuesday is a bank Holiday for Veteran's Day, so we might not have any calls if market volume is as bad as expected.
Net ticks: +9 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:
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 4165.50, hit first target for 6 ticks, raised the stop twice and stopped the second half 12 ticks in the money:
