Stock Picks Recap for 7/26/13
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 report, no triggers.

Futures Calls Recap for 7/25/13
Two nice winners for a session with a lot more volume. NASDAQ volume close at 1.8 billion shares.
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:
ES:
Mark's call triggered long at 1678.50 at A, hit first target for 6 ticks, and stopped the final piece at 1679.75:
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.
My call triggered short at 3045 at A, hit first target for 6 ticks, and stopped second half 5 ticks in the money:
