Stock Picks Recap for 9/20/13
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.

BPOP triggered short (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:

BIDU triggered long (without market support) and didn't work:

Forex Calls Recap for 9/20/13
Amazingly, no triggers again to close out the session, and to prove that we had the right entry point, the GBPUSD hit the trigger exactly but never got through. That's fine though because I wasn't expecting much for triple expiration, so I'd rather not enter than get stopped.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:
As usual on the Sunday report, we will look at the action from Thursday night/Friday, then look at the daily charts of all the pairs with the Seeker and Comber separately for the week ahead, and then glance at the US Dollar Index. There are a lot of signals indicating a reversal in favor of the US Dollar.
