Forex Calls Recap for 10/24/16

Stock Picks Recap for 10/21/16
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, nothing triggered.
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, GPRO triggered long (with market support) and didn't go enough in either direction to count:
In total, that's 0 trades triggering with market support for October options expiration.
Futures Calls Recap for 10/21/16
The markets gapped down and eventually (basically) filled on 1.5 billion NASDAQ shares, which is horrible volume for options expiration with post-MSFT earnings. We just wrapped up the lightest volume week of the year. Moving on...
Net ticks: -1.5 ticks.

Futures Calls Recap for 10/20/16
A little better volume finally, but most of it based on a few stocks that reported as we continue through core earnings. Markets gapped down and shot both ways early with some interesting but quick swings during the day, but basically closed where they opened on 1.6 billion NASDAQ shares.
