EURUSD:
Triggered long at A, eventually hit first target at B, spiked on the Fed minutes, and still holding second half with a stop under R1 (could have moved it up more on the spike if you wanted):

Stock Picks Recap for 7/9/13
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, PRGS triggered long (without market support) and eventually worked:
MENT triggered long (without market support) and eventually didn't work, but took hours:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's AAPL triggered short (with market support) and didn't work:
His ISRG triggered short (with market support) and worked great:
His VXX triggered long (ETF, so no market support needed) and worked a little:
His BIIB triggered short (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:
GS triggered short (with market support) and worked:
AMZN triggered short (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:
In total, that's 6 trades triggering with market support, 5 of them worked, 1 did not.
