2 Key thing to watch for trends today:

The markets reflect the mindset of the country. There are two or three main things to look for that may indicate how results are trending. It is widely accepted that a Trump victory will trigger a worldwide economic collapse or near collapse (see Brexit).
1) Gold futures: in good times the price of gold goes down because people feel secure about their money. In hard economic times the price goes up because people want to cushion. Against economic instability. Today, gold started trending up, but now fell back into negative territory.
2) The S&P Index. The same is inversely true with the S&P. Up = Good for Hillary
Down = Good for Trump. Today trended downward and now recovered into positive territory.
3) The US Dollar. This plays the same as the S&P and is stronger today.

At the moment it looks good for Hillary all around!

Keep watching.
