Not a very interesting session for most of the day, which wasn’t a surprise on the last day of Core Earnings. No official calls, but I recapped the Opening Range plays below. The markets held dead flat for hours and finally rallied in the afternoon on 1.9 billion NASDAQ shares.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.

NQ Opening Range Play, triggered short at A and stopped at B and triggered long at B and didn’t work:
