Net ticks: +15 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:
ES and NQ Opening and Institutional Range Plays:
ES Opening Range Play triggered long at A and worked enough for a partial, triggered short at B and worked:
NQ Opening Range Play triggered long at A and didn’t work, triggered short at B and did work:

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.
