I agree, I'm trailing a tight stop on 2 day downtrend, short term bullish divergences could give a pop, and the 60 min cycle is extended. Would probably re-enter short on break of spx 1140, or next minor up trend. A test of the declining 60 min 20 MA will be telling. May break down here though, we'll. Market doing a good job of playing it's cards close to the vest.
I don't like stop order avoid it at all cost, but from time to times it's good vehicle to have. stops what give the brokerage an upper hand, I will not use trailing stop unless I am >10% ahead, I'll take their 7% any day.
Not having stops has absolutely murdered me. Right now, I am only a zombie. The art is knowing where to place them. I can place a Sell Stop Limit order if I want, and control the sell price within a penny, although I usually use Sell Stop Loss order. It's the morning gaps that can cause a lot of slippage, and I try and avoid those if possible. (trading ETF's not ES)

I always use Canadian Gold Stock ETF, XGD.to, to track the gold stocks. So far, every time it has a huge volume spike in the last 30 minutes, big gap happens next morning.

no direction. I'll watch for awhile. so far price overlap, bulls really need a decisive breakout.

aud/jpy 'should' be down a lot more than it is, it's just that the yen is breaking down today; I don't think, today, aud is much use at all for risk on/off stuff, aud futures are totally flat, aud/usd just down 0.6% right now

But, acording to Bulkowsky: "(Diamond bottoms) in a bear market rank second for overall performance" .... "diamond bottoms is that a quick rise often follows a quick decline" http://thepatternsite.com/diamondb.html Assuming is a correct Diamond Bottoms.
And Financials are one of the bearish sectors this year.

Gold $GLD quiet today as well as yesterday on low volume. If it breaks to the upside then the $168-$172 area is a spot to watch-to the downside $145 IMO. http://btdmarketsummary.blogspot.com/

Diamond could be a continuation pattern, so need wait for the breakout to get the direction. So for now, I cannot say it's bullish.
