Stock Picks Recap for 8/9/13
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, SYZM triggered long (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, AAPL triggered short (with market support) and worked:
COST triggered short (with market support) and eventually closed it even:
GS triggered short (with market support) and didn't work:

Forex Calls Recap for 8/9/13
We came into the session long half of the GBPUSD trade from 1.5385 on Wednesday and half of the GBPUSD trade from 1.5525 on Thursday. The first closed for a 140 pip gain. We also had a winner on the EURUSD. See both sections 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. Once again, nothing to see in terms of patterns or Seeker/Comber signals on the verge.
