Stock Picks Recap for 5/10/13
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, ADNC gapped over, no play.
ARIA triggered short (with market support) and didn't work:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, NTAP triggered long (with market support) and didn't work:

Futures Calls Recap for 5/10/13

Net ticks: +3.5 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:
The short triggered at A at 1622.75, hit first target for six ticks, and stopped the second half over the entry. The long triggered in the last half hour at B at 1629.25 and ended up closing for a tick given the time of day:

Forex Calls Recap for 5/10/13
A new EURUSD trade that closed out for about a 75-pip winner, and we still had the second half of the GBPUSD from the prior session, which we closed out the final piece of for 200 pips.
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 major to see in the daily charts.
EURUSD:
Triggered short at A, hit first target at B, closed final piece at C for end of week (which was a nice close as it moved back up after):
GBPUSD:
Came into the session still short from 1.5530, lowered stop a few times, and stopped finally at A at 1.5330 for 200 pips:
