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

Stock Picks Recap for 11/5/13
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.
From the report, SLXP triggered long (with market support) and worked:
ASML gapped under the trigger, no play.
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's FSLR triggered long (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:
His AMGN triggered short (without market support) and worked a little:
AAPL triggered long (with market support) and didn't work:
NFLX triggered long (without market support) and didn't work:
Rich's GDX triggered short (ETF, so no market support needed) and didn't work:
His BIDU triggered short (without market support) and worked:
SINA triggered long (with market support) and worked:

Futures Calls Recap for 11/5/13
Nothing triggered, although we did call the NQ 13 Comber sell signal for a short in the Lab, which worked. See that section below.
Net ticks: +0 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.

EURUSD:
Triggered short at A, hit first target at B without stopping overnight, lowered stop and stopped in the money at C:
