Stock Picks Recap for 12/31/12
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.
No calls in the report.

Futures Calls Recap for 12/31/12
No trades for the last session of the year. Volume was actually decent at 1.5 billion NASDAQ shares and there was some movement as it looks like the fiscal cliff talks are at least moving. See you Wednesday, and calls will resume!
Net ticks: +0 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:

Futures Calls Recap for 12/28/12
Another day of poor action and volume, retreating again from Thursday's uptick in volume to only 750 million NASDAQ shares. The whole session was a flatline except for one 10 minute spike when rumors circulated that the White House and Congress might cut a short term deal to avert the cliff. Shocking.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.

Forex Calls Recap for 12/28/12
Two stop outs and a winner so almost a wash to close out the week and almost the quarter and year (one more session of calls Sunday).
As usual on the Sunday report, we will look at the action from Thursday night/Friday, then look at the daily charts heading into the new week, and then glance at the US Dollar Index.
The schedule will be the same this week as last. Levels and calls Sunday, although low expectations to close out the year unless the Fiscal Cliff is resolved. No Levels or calls Monday as most Forex brokers are closed from rollover to rollover Monday to Tuesday. New Levels and calls Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to start the year.
As we do every year, there will be a lengthy end of year report posted recapping the markets for the year (stocks, futures, and forex).

Futures Calls Recap for 12/27/12
No calls again as volume was way too light, although we did get a spike down on concerns about the Fiscal Cliff and then a spike up in the afternoon when rumors circulated that Congress would be back December 30. Not that that means anything is solved. In the end, the S&P lost a point for the session.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.
