Stock Picks Recap for 8/19/19
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, SMSI triggered long (without market support due to opening 5 minutes) and didn't work:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, GS triggered short (with market support), never stopped under the rules, didn't go enough either direction to count:

A big day in the markets, but the prior day was better for our futures trading. We gapped down huge and ultimately went lower on 2.5 billion NASDAQ shares.
Net ticks: -30 ticks.

NQ Opening Range Play triggered long at A and stopped and short at B and stopped, but way too much risk on both under the rules to take:
