Pretty much as expected for triple expiration. We gapped down, which is fine, traded a lot of volume early for nothing, and stuck in a 10-point ES range until late in the session when we tried to break out and fill the gap but still went nowhere. NASDAQ volume was 2.6 billion shares. Opening Ranges were mixed, and one other trade ran out of time. See ES section below.

Net ticks: -8.5 ticks.
