Stock Picks Recap for 2/27/14
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, no calls found.

Futures Calls Recap for 2/26/14
Two winners as the market moved pretty well early, despite some back and forth again. Volume closed at 1.9 billion NASDAQ shares, and the S&P closed dead flat for the session. See NQ and ER sections below.
Net ticks: +13 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.
Mark's call triggered short at 3685.50 at A, hit first target for 6 ticks, and stopped second half for 6 ticks also:
ER:
Triggered short at A at 1173.10, hit first target for 8 ticks, and stopped second half in the money for 6 ticks. Note the 13 Comber sell signal right at the high:
