Futures Calls Recap for 10/31/13
Two stop outs and a winner on the ES to wrap up the month of October. See that section below. We closed out right on the VWAP almost unchanged, which is not surprising considering the
Net ticks: -8 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:

A nice winner to close out the week. Tonight's action will be the last official action for October 2013. See EURUSD section below, and we're still short and well in the money as I post this report.

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, TRIP gapped over the trigger, no play.

Futures Calls Recap for 10/30/13
No calls for the session ahead of the Fed. I would have made the Value Area call on the ES, which I pointed out in the Lab as it set the VAH perfectly, but the Pivot was just inside. Ended up working perfectly anyway, see ES section below.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.

Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:
GBPUSD:
Trgiggered long at A overnight, never hit stop or first target, and I closed at B for a small loss ahead of the Fed announcement, which was the right thing to do, obviously:
