Stock Picks Recap for 6/13/13
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, SCSS triggered long (with market support) and worked:
MELI triggered short (without market support due to opening 5 minutes) and didn't work:
IRWD triggered short (without market support) and didn't work:

Futures Calls Recap for 6/13/13
Couple of nice setups in the ES and NQ stopped out once and I chose not to re-enter due to extremely light market volume from quarterly options roll. They ended up re-triggering and working for huge gains, of course. See both sections below.
We are on the U3 contracts effective now.
Net ticks: -14 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:
Triggered long at A at 1617.25 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.
Triggered long at A at 2934.00 and stopped for 7 ticks:

Futures Calls Recap for 6/12/13
Very light volume in the markets most of the session, although volume ticked up late and got us to 1.5 billion NASDAQ shares. See ES section for review.
Net ticks: -7 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 short at A at 1632.75 and stopped for 7 ticks. He didn't put it back in, which is unfortunate because it turned around and worked exactly as it should have in the first place, all the way across the Value Area:
