No bottom for GLD on daily yet at least.  If anything, it just broke 168 support pretty badly.

Hmmm.. Should consider exiting. Had large entries on gold 1720, one of the major fibs. If anything, should be a pretty good corrective bounce this afternoon

5 minute spx, xau, oil showing the bleed is stopping. Rsi recovering and heiken ashi flattening

Also watch that eur leading the way back up

Maybe for minute-to-minute.  On day-to-day, SPY still has to break the intraday downtrend before we can be sure the sell-off is done.

It looks like it.  I was surprised as well.  Need to see the close though - there are conditions to detect "bad" breaks and so far the program isn't flagging this as a break so I'm cautious.

Incase the humor went over the heads of some, the Tech Trader AI is now functional. You can mix/match indicators and it will tell you how to best configure them.

Useful also if you are writing a new indicator and are not sure of what the best thresholds are; instead just make them settings and the thresholds still automatically be found.

No new trendline breaks so far today but a few Bottom signals.  Ironically one on APOL.
Note the Bottom signals don't specify how long it might take to bounce - we could flatline for months from any of these.
Also depends on how we close today as usual.

I am. CHK just cleared the big resist at 21.50. I'm hoping for a close 21.60-21.65

Also if anyone has time to run Tech Trader, post any good signals you find.  Tried to run a scan on my laptop just now and it drained my battery in 10 minutes.
