Stock Picks Recap for 6/19/13
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, WBMD triggered short (with market support) and worked enough for a partial before reversing due to the Fed:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's ADBE triggered short (without market support due to opening 5 minutes) and worked:

Futures Calls Recap for 6/19/13
Mark had a winner on the NQ. See that section below.
Net ticks: +6 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:
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 call triggered short at A at 2985.00, hit first target for 6 ticks eventually, and closed second half also 6 ticks in the money:
