What an amazingly boring session to start the week. First day of a new options cycle, and nothing happened (not unusual but this was an extreme example). Volume even started out solid, which makes it more surprising. In the end, we basically just closed flat and barely traded over 5 points of range on the ES on 1.6 billion NASDAQ shares. No trades to call, check the Opening Range results.
Net ticks: -21 ticks.
