The markets opened fairly flat and filled the minor gap early, then headed sharply lower so our Opening Range plays worked. You’ll note that the low of the day was a 13 Comber buy signal on the NQ and then we came back to the open. The rest of the day was flat until the last 30 minutes, when we broke out on volume.

Net ticks: +5.5 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:
