An extremely boring day with less than 300 million NASDAQ shares traded in the first hour, and the markets were just dead for the end of month and Halloween. We were really on track for 1.2 billion shares until the last 20 minutes when end of month prints pushed it up to 1.5. Opening Range plays worked (except I had bad data) and there was no point in calling anything else.

Net ticks: +12.5 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:
