Stock Picks Recap for 9/2/14
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.
From the report, TTWO triggered long (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, LNKD triggered long (with market support) and I closed it for a gain in the Twitter feed when the futures plunged to lows:

Futures Calls Recap for 9/2/14
A small winner to start the month in the NQ. See that section below. Volume was much improved in the markets, which traded 1.8 billion shares, up big from the last two weeks of summer nonsense. The markets gapped up, filled, went lower with two or three sell programs (the first in more than two weeks) and recovered to the VWAP late.
Net ticks: +2.5 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:
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 short at A at 4083.00, hit first target for 6 ticks, and stopped second half over the entry:

No calls because the ranges have been so terrible that all of the Levels were too bunched together, and it turned out to be a good thing because nothing happened. All of the markets are dead right now, and we might just be stuck until after Labor Day this week when summer ends. Pretty common.
