Futures Calls Recap for 12/9/16
The markets gapped up a little again and made about a 15 minute push, which was most of the range for the day on the NASDAQ, although the broad market inched up in the last hour on 1.8 billion NASDAQ shares. Futures are now officially rolled to the March 2017 contract, so that is out of the way. Nice winners again on the Opening Range plays.
Net ticks: +16.5 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:

I put in four calls instead of two because I saw nice setups both ways on the EURUSD and GBPUSD. Mixed results. Two stop outs and a winner, so about a wash. See those sections below.

Stock Picks Recap for 12/8/16
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, ALGN triggered long (with market support) and didn't work, worked later if you took the retrigger after the sweep:
