Futures Calls Recap for 7/25/14
A clean winner for another limited session of trading during summer earnings. See the NQ section below. NASDAQ volume closed at an improved 1.7 billion shares.
Net ticks: +11 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:
NQ:
Just a reminder that we use half points for ticks on the NQ and not the quarter point measurement that the exchanges switched to in recent years. This allows us to use 6 ticks as a key target as we do on the other contracts. It also keeps the value of a tick at $10, closer to the value of a tick on the other contracts.
Triggered short at A at 3981.50, hit first target for 6 ticks, lowered stop a couple of times and stopped final piece at 3973.50 (note we spent the rest of the day in the Value Area):

Stock Picks Recap for 7/23/14
With each stock's recap, we will include a (with market support) or (without market support) tag, designating whether the trade triggered with or without market directional support at the time. Anything in the first five minutes will be considered WITHOUT market support because market direction cannot be determined that early. ETF calls do not require market support, and are thus either winners or losers.
From the report, BRCM gapped over, no play.
HTLD triggered long (without market support due to opening 5 minutes) and worked:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, BIDU triggered long (with market support) and worked:

In total, despite a lot of calls, that's just 1 trade triggering with market support, and it worked.

7 points of range on the ES and barely touched a level. Took a play for the gap fill after the opening minutes and it didn't go anywhere as we spent the whole day in a 7 point range. Note the Comber 13 sell signals on the ES and NQ were the highs:
