The markets gapped up and were mixed early. Opening Range plays had minor results, see that section below. We did not fill the ES gap (NQ did) and headed up, topping out over lunch and drifting back to the VWAP on 1.7 billion NASDAQ shares as things are still light since the storm back East. We had a small winner in the ES, see that section below.
Net ticks: +2 ticks.
