Stock Picks Recap for 8/26/13
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 Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's AAPL triggered long (without market support) and worked:

Futures Calls Recap for 8/26/13
Two triggers in another light volume that closed with 1.3 billion NASDAQ shares, but only because of a very late day sell-off related to Syria.
Net ticks: -4.5 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:
ES:
Mark's long triggered at A at 1665.50 and stopped for 7 ticks:
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.
Mark's short triggered at A at 3121.50, hit first target for 6 ticks, and stopped the second half over the trigger:

Futures Calls Recap for 8/23/13
Microsoft caused a gap up in the markets that otherwise wouldn't have happened, and we ended up with a flat, narrow session after that. Volume was 1.4 billion shares, but Microsoft's volume on the news was so huge that total NASDAQ volume would have been 1.2 billion or something like that without MSFT. No calls.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.
