Stock Picks Recap for 12/31/18
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, no calls.
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, GS triggered long (with market support) and didn't work:
BIIB triggered long (with market support) and worked:
In total, that's 2 trades triggering with market support, 1 of them worked, 1 did not.

Futures Calls Recap for 6/18/14
The markets were dead early waiting for the Fed, and then we got a couple of setups (ES setting R2 and NQ setting R1) to call and play in the afternoon. See NQ section below. NASDAQ volume closed at 1.7 billion shares.
Net ticks: +7 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 3784.50, hit first target for 6 ticks, raised stop twice and stopped at 3788.50:
