A nice day for futures with winners in the Opening Range plays plus two more trade calls that worked on the ES. The markets gapped down, pushed lower, then reversed to fill the gap and push even higher over lunch, and then retraced to the VWAP area for the close again on 1.5 billion NASDAQ shares.

Net ticks: +12.5 ticks.
