Markets Finally Take a Small Breather

Futures are marginally positive and the DAX is marginally negative, indicating a mixed open.  Market condition scans continue to have a positive bias, but energy is weakening.  The market bias indicators are still showing a weak negative bias.  The combination of these indicators along with options expiry suggest today will be a choppy day. 
Markets had a mild down day yesterday, which looked like a resting day.    We have had 8 up days, with yesterday essentially a neutral day. This may be the beginning of a swing down cycle since the indexes are all extended above their 5 and 10 day moving averages.  Also, the market stochastics are in the oversold zone which is also suggestive of a potential pullback.
This will give us an opportunity to look for entries in stocks with good fundamentals near support. 
BRLI, our papertrade, had a down day yesterday.  Volume remained below the moving average but we will maintain our stop at $32.04.
