Trade Journal By M.A. Perry
Trader and Founder of WRB Analysis (wide range body analysis)

Trade journals are crucial in preventing us traders from becoming complacent or content with our trading plan or the markets because without having the ability to review archives of past trading days in a forever changing market...we won't know it's time to adapt when change occurs in the markets because broker statements alone doesn't help us keep that edge in comparison to a trade journal. In addition, although this journal contains advertisements involving my trade methods, it does contain useful trading tips a few times per week. Thus, if you're looking for trading tips that can improve your trading and understand that profitable trading involves more than just entry signals...consistently read this trade journal and the #FuturesTrades chat room logs where I post my trades in real-time from entry to exit (see link below) via my IRC user name wrbtrader that's the same as my user name on twitter.

Today's #FuturesTrades chat room logs is archived @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=512.

Quote:
Today's results are 11 wins : 8 losses : 1 breakeven. The odds are very high that if my first trade is profitable...I'll reach my profit goal for the day by the end of the trading session. Today I doubled my expected profit. In addition, I was trying a new add system to an existing profitable trade. Usually I only add to a profitable trade if I get another trade signal via the AJCTR, APAOR, STR or VTR. However, this particular add system is via my market experience (intuition).

Trading Tip: Market experience can't be taught and can only be absorbed if it is well documented.

Stocks Pummeled On Debt Worries
By Alexandra Twin, senior writer
May 4, 2010: 6:07 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks tumbled Tuesday on worries that the global recovery could suffer if Europe's efforts to contain Greece's debt problems don't succeed, and if China's efforts to slow its booming economy go too far.

Bond prices rallied, lowering the corresponding yields, as investors sought the comparative safety of government debt. The euro fell to a new yearly low versus the dollar, pummeling dollar-traded energy prices and stocks.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) slumped 225 points, after having fallen as much as 282 points earlier. The decline, equivalent to 2%, was the average's biggest one-day point drop since February 4. The S&P 500 index (SPX) lost 29 points, or 2.4%. The Nasdaq composite (COMP) fell 74 points, or 3%.

"We're realizing that Greece's problems are not going to go away and that China has to slow growth down," said Drew Kanaly, CEO and chairman at Kanaly Trust. "These issues are giving us a view into our own future if we keep piling up debt."

He said that markets are worried about how the U.S. will balance growth with inflationary risks, and what the impact of the growing deficit will mean. The ongoing impact from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico on commodities was also a factor, he said.

The broad worries were reflected by the spike in the CBOE Volatility index (VIX), or the VIX, Wall-Street's so-called fear gauge. The VIX jumped 18%, briefly topping its highest point since Feb. 10 before pulling back a bit.

Early February was the bottom of the market's other notable selloff this year, when worries about China and Greece sent the S&P 500 down by about 9% in just over three weeks.

"I think a little volatility is back," said Dave Hinnenkamp, CEO of KDV Wealth Management. "We're getting triple-digit moves (on the Dow) like we haven't seen in a while. We've had some big moves but the market hasn't gone anywhere."

The market was also vulnerable after stocks slumped last week and the Dow broke its 8-week winning streak, its longest run in six years. In that time, the Dow gained over 15%.

Hinnenkamp said there's a battle going on between the improved earnings and everything else, including the euro zone debt issues, the oil spill and China's efforts to curb inflation without slowing growth.

European debt: Stocks rallied Monday after European leaders agreed to provide Greece with $146 billion in loans over three years -- with promises of the first payment due to arrive ahead of a key May 19 deadline, when the nation owes over $11 billion.

The Greek bailout package, funded jointly by the European Union and the International Monetary Fund, seemed to set a template for other bailouts, should they be needed. Greece is one of the so-called PIIGS -- five European nations with heavy debt loads that investors fear could destabilize the euro and slow global growth should they all default. Portugal, Italy, Ireland and Spain are the other four.

But relief about the plan turned to worries about its execution Tuesday on concerns that not all of the 15 other euro zone nations would be willing to get on board. Influential Germany said Monday it would commit to loaning $40 billion to Greece over the three years, but it's not yet clear whether the whole group will be willing to participate. In addition, such a substantial commitment could limit European leaders should other nations need a comparable bailout.

What's moving: Stock declines were broad based, with 27 of 30 Dow shares falling, led by tech shares Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, Fortune 500), IBM (IBM, Fortune 500) and Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500), financials American Express (AXP, Fortune 500) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) and energy shares Chevron (CVX, Fortune 500) and Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500).

Caterpillar (CAT, Fortune 500), Boeing (BA, Fortune 500), United Technologies (UTX, Fortune 500) and 3M (MMM, Fortune 500) were the other big losers.

Market breadth was negative. On the New York Stock Exchange, losers topped winners five to one on volume of 1.53 billion shares. On the Nasdaq, decliners topped advancers by nearly six to one on volume of 2.99 billion shares.

World markets: In overseas trading, European markets tumbled, with France's CAC 40 down 3.6%, Germany's DAX down 2.6% and London's FTSE down 2.6%.

Asian markets fell, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng index down 0.2%. The Japanese Nikkei was closed for a national holiday.

In China, the Shanghai Composite lost 1.2% after the country said manufacturing grew at a slower-than-expected pace in April. Investors were also reacting to news over the weekend that China has boosted its bank reserves.

The dollar and commodities: The dollar rallied versus the euro and fell against the yen.

U.S. light crude oil for June delivery fell $3.45 to settle at $82.74 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

COMEX gold for June delivery fell $14.10 to settle at $1,169.20 per ounce.

Bonds: Treasury prices rallied, lowering the yield on the 10-year note to 3.62% from 3.70% Monday. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.

Economy: Pending home sales rose 5.3% in March after climbing 8.3% in February. A consensus of economists surveyed by Briefing.com expected sales to increase 5%.

Factory orders were 1.3% higher in April after rising 1.3% in March, the Commerce Department said. Economists thought orders would fall 0.2%.

Quarterly results: A number of major companies reported quarterly results before the start of trading.

Among the standouts: Dow component Merck (MRK, Fortune 500) reported higher quarterly revenue and earnings that topped estimates.

Fellow Dow component Pfizer (PFE, Fortune 500) also reported higher quarterly revenue and earnings that topped estimates.

Merck and Pfizer were two of only three Dow components to post gains Tuesday. The third was Wal-Mart Stores (WMT, Fortune 500).

4:30 pm : The worst percentage slide since February has put the S&P 500 at a one month low and just above its 50-day moving average. Volatility spiked to more than a two-month high as a result.

Stocks were under sharp pressure for the entire session, such that more than 95% of the names in the S&P 500 were in the red at almost any given time this session. The selloff initially took root with global participants who pushed out of the foreign exchanges deemed riskiest. That caused Greece's Athex Composite to fall 6.7%, Spain's IBEX to drop 5.4%, and Portugal's General Index to give up 3.8%. Those losses coupled with weakness in the U.S. caused the Dow Jones World Index to surrender 2.5% in its worst percentage drop since February.

Heightened concern in the global market sent many scurrying to the greenback for cover. That drove the Dollar Index up 1.3% in its best percentage gain of 2010. It also put the dollar just below a one-year high against competing currencies.

Strength in the dollar and a sour tone in the stock market conspired to drop the CRB Commodity Index for a 2.3% loss -- its worst loss in three months.

Oil was one of the weakest commodities as it recorded its largest single-session loss in nearly three months; crude oil contracts for June closed 4.0% lower at $82.74 per barrel.

Gold also finished lower after it gave up an early gain. The yellow metal settled with a 1.2% loss at $1169.20 per ounce.

With both stocks and commodities under stiff pressure, materials stocks were the worst performers this session. The sector surrendered 3.5%.

Health care stocks held up relatively well against the selloff. The sector shed 0.8% as Dow components Merck (MRK 35.81, +0.54) and Pfizer (PFE 17.26, +0.35) provided support after they had announced this morning better-than-expected earnings.

Near-term technical support completely came undone this session. The slide only steadied when the S&P 500 approached its 50-day moving average, which was last touched two months ago. The stock market closed just above that key line.

Volatility surged with weakness so widespread. In fact, the Volatility Index, sometimes euphemistically labeled the "Fear Gauge," was up more than 20% at its session high.

This session's action attracted plenty of participants, such that some 1.5 billion shares exchanged hands on the NYSE. That's well above the 200-day average of 1.2 billion shares.

Data was an afterthought this session as participants paid little attention to news that factory orders for March increased 1.3%, which was a surprise since the consensus had essentially called for no change, and pending home sales for March made a monthly increase of 5.3%, which is a stronger pace than the 5.0% increase that had been expected.

Advancing Sectors: (None)
Declining Sectors: Materials (-3.5%), Industrials (-3.3%), Consumer Discretionary (-2.9%), Tech (-2.9%), Financials (-2.7%), Energy (-2.6%), Utilities (-1.8%), Telecom (-1.7%), Consumer Staples (-1.0%), Health Care (-0.8%) DJ30 -225.06 NASDAQ -74.49 NQ100 -3.1% R2K -3.2% SP400 -2.9% SP500 -28.66 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 403/2.93 bln/2331 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 435/1.52 bln/2650

3:35 pm : The CRB Commodities index fell in-line with the broader stock market this session. The 2.3% loss was led by precious metals (-2.9%) and energy commodities (-3.0%). Strength in the dollar and a global sell-off were culprits.

Crude oil futures recorded their largest single session loss in ~3 months. June Crude oil futures fell 4.0% to close at $82.74 per barrel, very near its 50-day simple moving average.

Natural gas futures were actually up this session, but did not stray far from the $4.00 level. June natural gas closed up 0.5% at $4.02 per MMBtu.

Meanwhile, June gold fell 1.2% to $1169.20 per ounce and July silver fell roughly 5% to $17.84 per ounce. DJ30 -228.24 NASDAQ -73.81 SP500 -28.73 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 361/2.47 bln/2370 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 399/1.11 bln/1679

3:00 pm : Stocks have moved to the bottom of their recent trading range so that they are near session lows as they head into the final hour of trade. More than 95% of the stocks in the S&P 500 are still in negative territory.

Volume has been strong this session. In fact, nearly 1 billion shares have already traded hands on the NYSE today. Such high turnover is suggestive of high participation. DJ30 -247.66 NASDAQ -80.08 SP500 -30.34 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 333/2.23 bln/2371 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 382/998 mln/2689

2:30 pm : The stock market is still stuck in a sideways drift that has left it on track for one of its worst single-session percentage slides in more than one month.

While the broader market continues to trade in a tight range, pressure has intensified against materials stocks. Materials stocks are now down 4.0% to a fresh session low. That's the worst loss of any of the major sectors. DJ30 -239.73 NASDAQ -75.79 SP500 -29.85 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 339/2.07 bln/2355 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 397/915 mln/2673

2:00 pm : Stocks are little changed from earlier levels as they enter into a relatively narrow range. The tight trading range means that stocks have been left to continue contending with steep losses.

Airline stocks remain among those in the worst shape. As a group, airline stocks are down 5.2%. That's their worst percentage loss since a 5.6% loss in early February.

Semiconductor stocks aren't much better at the moment. In fact, the Philadelphia Semiconductor is down 5.0%, which is its worst single-session percentage slide since late January. DJ30 -246.15 NASDAQ -75.20 SP500 -28.94 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 348/1.93 bln/2345 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 378/850 mln/2674

1:30 pm : Stocks in the S&P 500 are up from their session lows, but they are still on pace for their worst single-session percentage loss since February, when the benchmark index dropped approximately 3%.

Pressure has picked up against commodities, however. In turn, the CRB Commodity Index is now down 2.3% so that it faces its worst single-session loss by percent since a 2.5% drop in February. DJ30 -223.18 NASDAQ -76.30 SP500 -27.11 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 336/1.82 bln/2353 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 368/790 mln/2679

1:00 pm : Sellers reclaimed the reins of the stock market this morning as risk aversion led many foreign exchanges sharply lower and the dollar climbed to a new multimonth high.

The mood has been negative all session. Early weakness came as stocks in Greece dropped nearly 7%, Spain's IBEX fell over 5%, and Portugal's primary market fell nearly 4%. Amid such weakness, many global traders have turned to the U.S. dollar. Demand for the greenback has given it a 1.0% gain against competing currencies and put it at an 11-month high.

Dow components Merck (MRK 35.83, +0.56) and Pfizer (PFE 17.21, +0.30) are two of the few names that have been spared from this session's selloff. Both posted before the opening bell better-than-expected earnings. Their strength has helped the health care sector limit its loss to 0.8%.

Meanwhile, more than 95% of the names in the S&P 500 are in the red. Such widespread weakness has stocks near a one-month low and just above their 50-day moving average.

The Volatility Index, sometimes euphemistically labeled the "Fear Gauge," has spiked more than 20% higher amid the selling.

Selling has also triggered buying among Treasuries. In turn, the benchmark 10-year Note is up 15 ticks. That has its yield down to 3.62%.

Though positive, data didn't do anything for stocks this session. More specifically, factory orders for March increased 1.3%, which is a surprise since the consensus had essentially called for no change.

Meanwhile, pending home sales for March made a monthly increase of 5.3%, which is a stronger pace than the 5.0% increase that had been expected. DJ30 -229.90 NASDAQ -76.91 SP500 -26.96 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 329/1.70 bln/2352 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 376/735 mln/2666

12:30 pm : While the broader market has been caught up in a bout of stiff selling, health care stocks have managed to limit their losses to 1.1%, collectively. Though that is quite a steep slide in and of itself, the loss is less than half that of the broader market.

The relative strength of the health care sector is rooted in Dow components Merck (MRK 35.83, +0.56) and Pfizer (PFE 17.21, +0.30), both of which posted before the opening bell better-than-expected earnings. While MRK and PFE have managed to outperform the broader market in this particular session, the pair has underperformed this year -- MRK currently trades with a year-to-date loss of roughly 3% and PFE is down nearly 7% since the start of 2010. DJ30 -272.83 NASDAQ -85.65 SP500 -32.58 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 296/1.50 bln/2382 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 370/660 mln/2651

12:00 pm : Nearly 97% of the stocks in the S&P 500 are trading with losses at the moment. However, the benchmark index has eased up a bit from its session low so that its current loss isn't quite as bad as the 2.3% loss that was recorded last week.

Weakness isn't limited to stocks, though. Losses among commodities has taken the CRB Commodity Index down 1.8%, but that isn't quite as steep as the 1.9% drop that it endured one week ago. Nonetheless, oil is a primary source of weakness in the CRB; crude oil prices are down 3.4% to $83.25 per barrel. DJ30 -222.42 NASDAQ -73.95 SP500 -27.33 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 315/1.35 bln/2340 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 368/591 mln/2620

11:30 am : Both the Nasdaq Composite and the Nasdaq 100 are on pace for their worst single-session loss by percent this year. In addition to weakness in the broader market, the pair has been hurt by steep losses among large-cap tech plays like Apple (AAPL 257.70, -8.65), Microsoft (MSFT 29.84, -1.02), and Cisco Systems (CSCO 26.60, -0.94).

Though the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq 100 currently trade with outsized losses of 3.0% and 3.1%, respectively, they continue to sport strong year-to-date gains. In fact, the Nasdaq Composite is still up 6.8% this year and the Nasdaq 100 is up 5.8% this year, while the broad-based S&P 500 is up 5.3% since the start of 2010. DJ30 -234.51 NASDAQ -74.18 SP500 -28.30 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 294/1.19 bln/2331 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 369/520 mln/2598

11:00 am : Early support has given way to renewed selling, which has sent stocks another leg lower. The slide has been so steep that the S&P 500 is close to a one-month low.

This selloff comes after some substantial swings in recent sessions. In fact, this is the fifth straight session in which the Dow has made a triple-digit swing between its session high and low.

Volatility has seen some dramatic moves amid those swings. This session, the Volatility Index, sometimes euphemistically labeled the "Fear Gauge,"is up 21%. DJ30 -241.16 NASDAQ -73.09 SP500 -28.86 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 285/945 mln/2299 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 351/421 mln/2571

10:30 am : The US Dollar Index continues on its uptrend, which is keeping pressure on select commodities this morning.

June crude oil has been in negative territory for the vast majority of today's session so far. Overnight, crude began trending lower until hitting session lows of $83.72 per barrel about an hour ago. Currently, crude is trading 2.6% lower at $83.92 per barrel.

June natural gas has been erratic in the last couple of hours of trading. The energy component rallied to session highs of $4.05 per MMBtu earlier this morning, but quickly reversed back into the red to lows of $3.96 per MMBtu. Natural gas has since pushed back into positive territory and is just above the flat line at $4.01 per MMBtu.

Despite strength in the dollar index, June gold remains in positive territory and is currently just above the unchanged line at $1185.20 per ounce. July silver has been weak all session. Around an hour ago, the precious metals fell sharply to fresh session lows of $18.34 per ounce and is current just above that level at $18.42 per ounce, down 2.2%. DJ30 -146.84 NASDAQ -55.18 SP500 -16.67 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 345/665.2 mln/2188 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 413/293.3 mln/2439

10:00 am : Factory orders for March increased 1.3%, which is a surprise since the consensus had called for no change. The increase was preceded by an upwardly revised 1.3% climb for February.

Pending home sales for March made a monthly increase of 5.3%, which is a stronger pace than the 5.0% increase that had been expected. Monthly sales for February were revised slightly higher to reflect an 8.3% month-over-month increase.

The data hasn't really done much to lift the stock market from its doldrums. Instead, stocks continue to trade only slightly above their early morning lows amid widespread weakness. DJ30 -144.12 NASDAQ -52.07 SP500 -17.85 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 306/445 mln/2180 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 357/197 mln/2465

09:45 am : The stock market has come under a stiff bout of broad-based selling pressure that has put all 10 major sectors into the red. Though weakness is widespread, the S&P 500 has steadied its morning slide near the 1180 line, which is essentially in-line with last week's lows.

The selloff this morning has triggered buying among Treasuries. In turn, the benchmark 10-year Note is up 20 ticks. That has its yield back down to 3.61%. DJ30 -155.99 NASDAQ -55.99 SP500 -19.68 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 294/300 mln/2139 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 299/142 mln/2457

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -13.40. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -25.80. Stock futures now point to a sharply lower start. The sour tone comes as overseas markets move markedly lower amid persistent concerns regarding the efficiency of any sort of plan to stave off financial malfunction in Greece and the dollar stages a strong 0.7% advance against competing currencies. The greenback now stands at a fresh 11-month high. Earnings continue to be an afterthought as premarket participants, in general, appear unmoved by the latest batch of better-than-expected results, including those from Dow components Merck (MRK) and Pfizer (PFE). MasterCard (MA) was also out this morning with a strong quarterly report. There hasn't been any data up to this point, but a dose comes at 10:00 AM ET, when March factory orders figures and pending home sales numbers for March are released.

09:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -12.40. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -24.80. Commodities are a bit mixed this morning. More specifically, oil prices are down 1.8% to $84.63 per barrel in the first few minutes of pit trade. Natural gas prices have extended their advance from the prior session so that they were recently quoted at $4.04 per MMBtu, up 1.0%. Gold prices are up 0.8% to $1192.20 per ounce in the face of a 0.7% climb by the dollar against competing currencies. Silver prices are down 0.5% to $18.74 per ounce, though.

08:35 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -9.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -18.30. U.S. stock futures have fallen to a fresh morning low. Action overseas isn't any prettier. Spain's IBEX is down 3.0%, Portugal's PSI 20 is down 2.5%, Italy's FTSE MIB is down 2.4%, Ireland's Irish Index is down 1.5%, and Greece's FTSE 20 is down 5.2%. Such weakness has imbued the major bourses, like Germany's DAX, which is down 1.4%. Deutsche Telekom is atop the list of laggards at the moment. Of the DAX's 30 members, only E.On, RWE, and Henkel have managed to put together a gain. France's CAC is currently off by 1.9%. Energy giant Total (TOT) is particularly weak, but GDF Suez has successfully staged a solid gain. In Britain, the FTSE has fallen 1.5%. Its loss is currently led by BP Plc (BP), which remains in the spotlight due to concerns about the recent oil spill. However, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has held on to a gain amid upbeat quarterly results from U.S. pharmaceutical giants Merck (MRK) and Pfizer (PFE). In Asia, Japan's Nikkei remains closed, but China's Shanghai Composite re-opened to sink 1.2%. GD Power Development and PetroChina (PTR) were primary sources of weakness. Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed a relatively moderate 0.2% even though declining issues took a 2-to-1 advantage over advancers. Sun Hung Kai Properties was among the weakest plays, but Li & Fung was exceptionally strong.

08:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -8.90. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -16.00. Stock futures are under stiff pressure at the moment. Their decline comes amid renewed weakness among overseas markets, many of which have been led lower by losses among countries perceived as the riskiest. Also, the greenback has extended its gains so that it is currently 0.6% higher against competing currencies -- that puts it at a fresh 11-month high. Earnings announcements have started to slow down from the pace of recent weeks, but Dow components Pfizer (PFE) and Merck (MRK) both brought in better-than-expected results to headline this morning's batch. As for data, factory orders for March are due at 10:00 AM ET, along with pending home sales for March.

06:56 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -7.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -14.00.

06:56 am : Nikkei...Holiday......... Hang Seng...20763.05...-48.30...-0.20%.

06:56 am : FTSE...5494.91...-58.20...-1.10%. DAX...6115.07...-51.70...-0.80%.
