Well, we got better range than the prior day's Holiday action, but it wasn't the way we like to see it, with a move in favor of the Dollar early and then a complete reversal and move the other direction, triggering parts or all of both our trades. In the end, basically, a tiny loss.
See EURUSD section below.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:
EURUSD:
1 out of 3 legs of our trade under our order staggering rules triggered short at A and stopped. The long triggered at B, didn't quite hit the first target at C, and closed it out basically at the entry at D:

Stock Picks Recap for 11/11/13
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.

Futures Calls Recap for 11/8/13
A small winner in the NQ to wrap the week. See that section below. NASDAQ volume closed at 1.8 billion shares.
Net ticks: +2.5 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:
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 3340.50 at A, hit first target for 6 ticks, and stopped second half under the entry:
