Stock Picks Recap for 9/16/13
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, no calls.

Couple of triggers on the YM. Didn't work twice, then worked a little. Not a very exciting day at 1.4 billion NASDAQ shares. See that section below.
Net ticks: -11 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 big gap against the US Dollar to start the week (which didn't fill), and then a fairly narrow session again with a winner and a loser on the GBPUSD. The EURUSD set the trigger exactly but didn't trigger. See GBPUSD below.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:
GBPUSD:
Triggered short at A and stopped. Triggered short at B, closed at C in the money for end of session as it wasn't far enough in the money to hit first target and hold:

Futures Calls Recap for 9/13/13
A small winner early to close out the week and then the session fell into a 5 point range, glued to the VWAP, as is often the case on Fridays. We ended up trading 1.4 billion NASDAQ shares, and we stayed in the 10-point range on the S&P/ES from Tuesday just after the open through Friday's close, which is not fun for trading.
Net ticks: +2.5 ticks.

A winner to close out the week in the GBPUSD. See that section below.
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. We do have some 9-bar setups, but that's about it.

Another dull session. We've basically been trapped in a 10-point range on the ES for 3 days when the average single day's range is usually 16 points. Not great. Volume was 1.6 billion NASDAQ shares.
