Stock Picks Recap for 6/6/14
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, FORM and ARWR gapped over, no plays.
ELGX triggered long (with market support) and didn't do enough either way to count:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's AAPL triggered short (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:
His BIDU triggered long (with market support) and worked:
FSLR triggered short (without market support) and worked:
In total, that's 3 trades triggering with market support, 2 of them worked, 1 did not.
Futures Calls Recap for 6/6/14
Well, not that it was a surprise on a Friday, but a complete waste of time compared to Thursday. See the ES and NQ below.
Net ticks: -21 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:
ES:
Mark's long at A at 1946.50 stopped, and he did not re-enter:
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.
Nice Value Area setup triggered short at A at 3781.50 and stopped, then triggered again at B and stopped again:

Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:

Triggered long at A and if you didn't stop at B (which basically touched the stop level), then we stopped shortly after:
