A terrific session for futures. The Opening Range Plays worked in the ES and NQ (both directions each if you wanted), plus Mark had a nice call on the ES that worked. The markets gapped down and did not fill their gaps, heading lower instead on 1.9 billion NASDAQ shares.

Net ticks: +12 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:
