The markets gapped up a little and then finally rolled and filled the gaps. Unfortunately, the Opening Range plays swept one way and then worked the other or we would have had a nice session. The markets really sold off badly and gave us what appears to be an options unraveling move in the process, strangely to the downside. We also had an ES call that worked on its own. NASDAQ volume was 2.3 billion shares.
Net ticks: -7.5 ticks.
