The markets gapped down big again for options expiration. Our Opening Ranges plays were big again, and with expiration and the gap, we didn’t make any additional calls. The market tried the highs and lows and settled on the midpoint (shocker) over lunch and beyond on 2.7 billion NASDAQ shares.

Net ticks: +30 ticks.
