With the gap and expected volatility, I passed on the Opening Range plays (although the ES Institutional Range play would have worked great). The markets recovered about 75% of the drop and then stalled out over lunch and picked up speed to the downside later in the session on 3.2 billion NASDAQ shares.
Net ticks: +0 ticks.
