Stock Picks Recap for 2/12/13
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, ANGI triggered long (with market support) and didn't work:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, Rich's FAS triggered long (ETF, so no market support needed) and didn't work initially, worked great later:

Futures Calls Recap for 2/12/13
One call triggered twice, stopped once and worked the second. See NQ section below.
Net ticks: -4.5 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:
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 2764.50 at A and stopped. Triggered again at B, hit first target, stopped second piece over entry:

Came into the session short from the prior day at 1.5775 area.
