Set up 2 after 9:30am: Go long @ 18268, above yesterdays high.
8:45 am What worked: Going short below overnight low of 18229 to 18203 so far. Coming close to 5 DMA support, but market below DP now. Long when 18190 to DP @18213.

11:10 am: Lowering buy point to 18213 from 18241 for a 20 point move, if and when it happens.
11:43 am: Markets are in trouble as yesterday's breakout is now being fully reversed. All standing long orders cancelled as the weakness is spreading in all world indices, with Europe down about one percent.
2:20 pm: Impressive bounce taking the 5 DMA back. Real strength after it takes out the DP at 18213. The Chinese year of goat/sheep may well turn out to see some wolves show up occasionally to scatter the herd grazing peacefully and climbing surely.
