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, this public trade journal contains useful trading tips a few times per week to encourage readers to return for more information and to help ensure I myself don't forget the importance of basic concepts within my own trading plan. Further, there are market summaries from Youtube Bloomberg, CNNMoney and Yahoo Finance as a quick archive of what happened in the markets on a particular day of trading. Thus, if you're looking for trading tips and market summaries that can improve your trading and/or understanding of what happen on a particular day that 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.

Today's #FuturesTrades chat room logs is archived @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=551

Quote:
Today's results are 7 wins : 1 loss (see above #FuturesTrades log). Key WRB Zone via a WRB hidden gap was @ 2:27pm est via the 1min chart. It was an excellent in setting up trades and/or used as a profit target for trades above/below it.

Trading Tip: Trading on FOMC announcement days should only be performed by veteran traders that are profitable...everybody else should take the day off or simulator trading only.


FYI - You can ask me questions here at the forum or you can tweet me on twitter about any thing related to today's trading or related to your own trading.

Stocks End Volatile Session Mixed
By Alexandra Twin, senior writer
June 23, 2010: 5:48 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks ended mixed Wednesday as investors struggled to balance the Federal Reserve's statement, a weak housing market report and a selloff in commodity prices amid the stronger euro.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) added a few points. The S&P 500 (SPX) lost 3 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq (COMP) composite dropped 7 points, or 0.3%.

The central bank opted to hold the fed funds rate, a key overnight banking rate, steady at historic lows near zero. In its closely-watched statement, the bankers said the economic recovery is proceeding and the labor market is "improving gradually."

But the bankers also cautioned about the weakness in the housing market and the "less supportive" financial conditions as a result of the "development abroad," meaning the European debt crisis.

"The weaker euro is hurting U.S. exports and the European financial turmoil is bound to hamper growth in the U.S.," said Andrew Neale, head of wealth management at Fogel Neale Partners.

Neale said that in light of the weakness in both the U.S. and Europe, it's clear the Federal Reserve is going to keep interest rate policy accommodative for a while.

"The statement suggests they are going to keep interest rates low until at least the end of the year," Neale said.

The euro reversed course Wednesday afternoon, sending already weak oil and gold prices and stocks even lower.

The euro continued to slide Wednesday, keeping Europe's debt dilemma in focus ahead of this weekend's G-20 meeting. Bond prices rose, lowering the corresponding yields. The dollar was mixed. Oil and gold shares tumbled.

Stocks slipped in the morning after the May new home sales report showed a steep drop in activity to the worst level on record. But stocks managed to cut losses in the hour leading up to the Fed announcement.

Housing market hit: New home sales fell 32.7% in May to a seasonally-adjusted annual unit rate of 300,000, the lowest on record, from a revised 446,000 in April.

The report from the Census Bureau was expected to show that sales fell to a 430,000 annual unit rate, according to a consensus of economists surveyed by Briefing.com. The May plunge reflected the expiration of the homebuyer tax credit at the end of April, but also the reality of a still-struggling economy.

"The report was pretty abysmal," said Joshua Shapiro, chief U.S. economist at Maria Fiorini Ramirez Inc. "It shows you the degree to which the government was supporting the market and now that the tax credit has expired, there's a big air pocket."

Underlying demand is probably stronger than the headline number, he said, which reflects the fact that buyers rushed to get in ahead of the end of the expiration. But the number nonetheless fits into the reality of a slower-growth economy.

Worries that the United States could be headed for a double-dip recession dragged on stocks in May and early June, especially on investor concern over the ongoing European debt crisis and a flailing euro.

On the move: Energy, financial and technology shares declined. Some of the Dow's big losers included Chevron (CVX, Fortune 500), Microsoft (MSFT, Fortune 500) and Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500).

On the upside, Boeing (BA, Fortune 500), JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500), IBM (IBM, Fortune 500) and Merck (MRK, Fortune 500) were among the components managing gains.

Adobe Systems (ADBE) tumbled Wednesday as investors took a "sell the news" approach after it reported higher quarterly sales and earnings late Tuesday that trounced estimates. The software maker also issued a current-quarter forecast that is higher than analysts' most recent estimates.

Market breadth was negative. On the New York Stock Exchange, losers beat winners eight to seven on volume of 1.13 billion shares. On the Nasdaq, decliners topped advancers seven to six on volume of 1.89 billion shares.
Europe to Obama: No more spending!

Euro: The euro rose 0.3% versus the dollar, erasing early losses and remaining well above its four-year low of $1.188 hit last week. The dollar fell 0.7% versus the yen. The direction of the euro and the state of global debt are expected to be the focus of this weekend's G-20 meeting.

World markets: European markets slipped. Britain's FTSE 100 lost 1.3%, Germany's DAX gave back 1%, and France's CAC 40 fell 1.7%.

Asian markets were mixed. Japan's Nikkei fell 1.9%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng gained 0.2%, and China's Shanghai Composite lost 0.7%.

Commodities: U.S. light crude oil for August delivery fell $1.79 to settle at $76.35 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

COMEX gold for August delivery dropped $2.40 to $1,234.80 an ounce after closing at a record $1,258.30 on Friday.

Bonds: Treasury prices rallied, lowering the yield on the 10-year note to 3.11% from 3.17% late Tuesday. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.

Yahoo! Finance

4:30 pm : Mostly muddled trade ended in a modest loss for the S&P 500 as the worst new home sales figures on record acted as a drag on trade and the FOMC failed to deliver any positive news to market participants.

Stocks set their session lows in the early going as it was reported that new home sales for May fell almost 33% month-over-month to an annualized rate of 300,000 units. Not only was that far below the rate of 430,000 units that had been expected by economists polled by Briefing.com, but it was the lowest rate since records began more than 45 years ago.

Though the stock market was able to trim its losses, it didn't make its way into higher ground until the afternoon release of the latest policy statement from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The FOMC maintained the target range for the federal funds rate at 0.00% to 0.25%, as expected. It also stated that exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate are expected for an extended period.

Once again, Thomas Hoenig voted against the decision to keep the interest rate target unchanged. He also argued against the language about keeping exceptionally low interest rates.

Though the FOMC included in its statement the observation that economic recovery is proceeding, it also stated that financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth on balance.

The stock market's upward push during the minutes that followed the FOMC statement proved short lived, mostly because it lacked any sort of real leadership. In turn, stocks spent the rest of the session stuck in choppy trade with moderate losses.

Energy stocks represented some of the session's weakest performers. The sector shed 1.0%. A 1.6% drop in crude oil prices to $76.57 per barrel didn't help the sector -- an unexpected build in weekly oil inventories helped keep oil prices in the red for the entire session.

Telecom was a solid performer, though. The sector settled with a 0.6% gain.

Treasuries had a strong session. As such, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note fell below 3.10% for its first time in almost one month before it ticked higher in afternoon trade. Treasuries encountered some selling after results from an auction of 5-year Notes showed that dollar demand fell below $100 billion for the first time in nine months and the auction's bid-to-cover came in below 2.6, which is less than the average ratio for the past eight sessions.

The euro had a quiet start to the session, but it managed to make its way to a 0.3% gain against the greenback. The British pound was an even better performer as it spiked 0.9% versus the dollar. The pound was helped by positive comments about the U.K. budget plan from various credit analysts and a tacit vote of confidence in the U.K. economy by a member of the recent Bank of England who wanted an increase in the bank's interest rate.

Advancing Sectors: Telecom (+0.6%), Consumer Staples (+0.3%), Materials (+0.1%)
Declining Sectors: Utilities (-1.1%), Energy (-1.0%), Tech (-0.5%), Industrials (-0.4%), Financials (-0.3%), Health Care (-0.3%)
Unchanged: Consumer Discretionary DJ30 +4.92 NASDAQ -7.57 NQ100 -0.3% R2K -0.3% SP400 -0.2% SP500 -3.27 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1187/1.88 bln/1412 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1422/1.13 bln/1601

3:40 pm : Commodities sold off this session led by weakness in energy (excluding-natural gas) and industrial commodities.

Natural gas was the lone energy play higher. It closed 0.8% higher at $7.80 per MMbtu.

Crude oil, gasoline and heating oil all traded in excess of 2% lower this session. August crude oil finished 1.6% lower at $76.57 per barrel.

Silver, copper and nickel also sold off. August silver closed 2.4% lower at $18.45 per ounce. Gold futures fared slightly better; the August contract closed 0.5% lower at $1234.60 per ounce. DJ30 +4.16 NASDAQ -8.72 SP500 -3.97 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1196/1.59 bln/1395 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1367/845 mln/1631

3:00 pm : Following some choppy, post-FOMC statement trade, stocks made a sudden spike higher. The move actually took the three major indices to their best levels of the session. However, that move has proven unsustainable as the broader market is now back in negative territory.

Despite the whipsaw action, volatility has cooled. Specifically, the Volatility Index is now down modestly for the session after it was up almost 4% earlier this afternoon.

The stock market's pullback has helped lift Treasuries back to higher levels. In turn, the yield on the 10-year Note is now back near 3.10%. DJ30 +12.40 NASDAQ -8.45 SP500 -3.90 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1215/1.37 bln/1357 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1367/704 mln/1639

2:30 pm : Stocks had been attempting to make a gradual move higher in early afternoon trade, but action has become rather choppy in the minutes that have followed the latest policy statement from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). The Committee opted to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 0.00% to 0.25%, as expected, and it continues to anticipate that economic conditions, including low rates of resource utilization, subdued inflation trends, and stable inflation expectations, are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period.

Thomas Hoenig voted against the decision once again. He has argued that continuing to express the expectation of exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period was no longer warranted.

The FOMC's statement also indicated that economic recovery is proceeding and that the labor market is improving gradually. However, it was also stated by the FOMC that financial conditions have become less supportive of economic growth on balance. DJ30 +9.68 NASDAQ -5.89 SP500 -2.65 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1228/1.20 bln/1318 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1563/608 mln/1409

2:00 pm : Shares of retailers have spiked to a 0.4% gain. That has helped lift the broader consumer discretionary sector to a 0.2% gain. As a group, consumer discretionary stocks are up almost 6% since the start of the year; that makes for the best year-to-date gain of any major sector.

Utilities stocks are presently under the most pressure. The sector is currently down 1.1%. With a 7.3% loss since the start of the year, the sector is also trades with one of the worst year-to-date performances of any major sector.

Coming up in just 15 minutes is the latest FOMC policy statement. No change to interest rate targets is expected, but plenty of market participants will take their cues from the statement's language regarding the economic and interest rate outlook. DJ30 +7.11 NASDAQ -2.96 SP500 -2.50 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1267/1.07 bln/1257 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1441/538 mln/1513

1:35 pm : The Dow has been unable to extend itself beyond anything more than a fractional gain and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq remain mired in the red with a moderate loss. The overall mood among market participants remains rather dull. DJ30 +11.04 NASDAQ -3.66 SP500 -2.42 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1237/1.00 bln/1273 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1370/505 mln/1564

1:05 pm : A modest move lower in the first few minutes of trade was quickly extended with the release of the worst new home sales figures on record. Stocks have been unable to fully recover.

The mood to premarket trade had been generally upbeat this morning, but stocks were quickly pressured at the open. There was no immediate news item to account for the sudden mood swing, but it came shortly before headlines showed that new home sales for May fell almost 33% month-over-month to hit an annualized rate of 300,000 units. Not only was that far below the rate of 430,000 units that had been expected by economists polled by Briefing.com, but it was the lowest rate since records began in 1963.

Stocks have been stuck in negative territory since the report's release. They have managed to move up from session lows, though.

Still, strength is limited. Among this session's better performers, Jabil Circuit (JBL 14.89, +1.30) and Philip Morris (PM 46.71, +1.72) are up with enviable gains. Jabil posted better-than-expected earnings and issued an upside forecast. Philip Morris issued an upwardly revised earnings growth forecast.

Treasuries have been strong amid the stock market's weakness. In turn, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note fell below 3.10% for its first time in almost one month. Treasuries recently turned lower with the release of results from an auction of 5-year Notes that saw dollar demand fall below $100 billion for the first time in nine months. The auction produced a bid-to-cover of not quite 2.6, which is lower than the ratio of 2.7 that has been averaged during the past eight sessions.

The latest policy statement from the Federal Open Market Committee is due at 2:15 PM ET. Interest rate targets are widely expected to remain unchanged, so close attention will be paid to the language and verbiage of the statement.

Minutes from a recent Bank of England meeting were released this morning. Word that there was a single vote for an increase in the bank rate was interpreted as a vote of confidence in the British economy. That has helped the British pound continue its climb against the dollar - the pound is currently up 0.6%. The pound has also been helped by supportive comments about the U.K. budget plan from various credit analysts. DJ30 +6.35 NASDAQ -3.85 SP500 -2.82 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1220/958 mln/1296 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1283/467 mln/1647

12:30 pm : Stocks have entered a rather narrow trading range, but steady losses have sent the Volatility Index, or VIX, almost 4% higher. The VIX is up nearly 30% year-to-date, but down more than 40% since its 2010 high, which was set one month ago. DJ30 -24.26 NASDAQ -12.65 SP500 -6.31 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1007/842 mln/1491 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1015/422 mln/1883

12:00 pm : The stock market remains stuck in negative territory amid choppy, listless trade. Pressure has actually intensified against energy stocks so that the sector is now down 1.1% to a fresh session low. A 2.7% drop in oil prices to $75.80 per barrel certainly hasn't helped the energy sector.

There are a few names in the energy sector that have managed to make a gain, however. The short list includes the likes of Tesoro (TSO 12.17, +0.10), Peabody Energy (BTU 41.46, +0.57), Sunoco (SUN 34.87, -0.33), and Valero Energy (VLO 17.83, +0.03). DJ30 -35.37 NASDAQ -14.04 SP500 -6.77 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 994/765 mln/1475 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1015/391 mln/1878

11:30 am : Despite a dour figure for new home sales during May, shares of homebuilders have swung to a 1.2% gain. That comes after the group had traded lower in the minutes that initially followed the new home sales report, which was the worst on record.

Jabil Circuit (JBL 14.93, +1.34) and Philip Morris (PM 46.61, +1.62) are this session's two best performers by percent gained. Strength in shares of JBL is owed to the company's better-than-expected earnings and its upside forecast. Meanwhile, the jump in shares of PM comes after the company issued an upwardly revised forecast for earnings growth. DJ30 -17.23 NASDAQ -11.54 SP500 -5.29 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 985/682 mln/1437 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1003/348 mln/1854

11:00 am : Stocks have managed to trim some of their losses, but weakness generally remains widespread with nine of the 10 major sectors in negative territory -- telecom, up 0.5%, is still the only major sector in higher ground.

With stocks still trading broadly lower Treasuries have traded with strength. The benchmark 10-year Note is up 15 ticks so that its yield is now just above 3.10%, which marks its lowest level in almost one month. Treasuries could see some volatility with the release of results from an auction of 5-year Notes at 1:00 PM ET. DJ30 -21.16 NASDAQ -11.53 SP500 -5.08 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 960/588 mln/1420 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 955/299 mln/1845

10:30 am : Oil prices were as low as $75.46 per barrel, down some 3%, ahead of the latest weekly inventory report. They have since improved their position to trade with a 2.6% loss at $75.85 per barrel following news that crude oil inventories for the week ended June 18 had a build of 2.02 million barrels when a draw of 800,000 barrels had been expected. However, gasoline inventories had a draw of 762,000 barrels when a much more modest draw of 180,000 barrels had been widely anticipated.

Natural gas has had a strong morning as traders return to the commodity after driving it sharply lower in the past few sessions. As such, the commodity is currently up 1.4% to $4.82 per MMBtu.

Precious metals are under stiff pressure at the moment. Gold prices had been higher in early pit trade, but it was last quoted near session lows with a 1.0% loss at $1227.80 per ounce. As for silver, it is currently down 2.8% to $18.38 per ounce and near session lows of its own. DJ30 -30.98 NASDAQ -17.45 SP500 -6.22 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 819/480 mln/1543 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 743/246 mln/2045

10:00 am : The broader market has reacted negatively to a surprisingly sharp drop in new home sales for May, such that all three major indices are now down markedly to new morning lows.

New home sales for May hit an annualized rate of 300,000 units, down 32.7% month-over-month to a record low, but the economists polled by Briefing.com had expected new home sales to come in at an annualized rate of 430,000 units.

Shares of homebuilders have fallen to a 0.9% loss. That slide comes on top of the near 3% drop that followed a disappointing existing home sales report during the prior session. Such pronounced weakness in new home sales and existing home sales has led many to question expectations related to a housing recovery. DJ30 -38.62 NASDAQ -15.66 SP500 -5.34 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 803/259 mln/1438 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 732/145 mln/1958

09:45 am : Premarket trade pointed to a strong start for the major indices, but a sudden bout of selling at the open has put stocks under pressure in the first few minutes of trade.

Weakness is currently most pronounced among energy stocks, which are down 0.5% at the moment. That loss comes on top of the sector's 2.7% slide in the prior session.

Telecom is at the other end of the spectrum with a 0.7% gain. The defensive-oriented sector limited its loss in the prior session to 0.6%, which is less than half of the 1.6% drop that hit the broader market. DJ30 -7.33 NASDAQ -6.73 SP500 -2.33 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 869/136 mln/1259 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 912/93 mln/1687

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +2.50. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +5.30. The stock market appears poised for a positive start, but not so strong that the S&P 500 will find itself back above its 200-day moving average. That technical line was violated during a broad-based selloff into the prior session's close. Overall news flow has been a bit sluggish so far. Corporate headlines have been restricted to a handful of quarterly earnings reports, none of which came from a legitimate market mover. There haven't been any economic releases yet, but the latest new home sales report is due at 10:00 AM ET and the latest policy statement from the Federal Open Market Committee comes at 2:15 PM ET. Minutes from a recent Bank of England meeting showed that there was a single vote for an increase in the bank rate. The apparent vote of confidence in the British economy has helped the British pound climb to a 0.7% gain against the dollar. The pound has also been helped by supportive comments about the U.K. budget plan from various credit analysts. As for commodities, the picture is currently mixed with gold up 0.4% to $1245 per ounce and silver down 0.7% to $18.77 per ounce, while natural gas is up 1.4% to $4.83 per MMBtu and oil is down 1.4% to $76.75 per barrel ahead of the latest weekly inventory report at 10:30 AM ET.

09:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +4.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +6.50. Stock futures continue to trade with strength, but commodity futures are a bit mixed. Specifically, oil prices are down 0.8% to $77.20 per barrel ahead of the weekly inventory report at 10:30 AM ET. However, natural gas prices are up 1.0% to $4.80 per MMBtu after sustaining a series of selloffs in recent sessions. Precious metals are also divided as gold prices climb 0.4% to $1245 per ounce and silver prices slip 0.4% to $18.84 per ounce.

08:30 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +3.70. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +5.50. Domestic stock futures continue to display strength. Trade in Europe has improved, but still rather lackluster as Germany's DAX is down fractionally. Commerzbank is a key source of weakness for the second straight session. In France, the CAC is off by 0.4%. Its decliners outnumber its advancing issues by 3-to-1. Total (TOT) is atop the list of laggards, while Sanofi-Aventis (SNY) has provided support. In Britain, the FTSE is off by 0.1%. BP Plc (BP) has been a source of support. Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A) has been a drag on trade, though. Following the minutes from the latest Bank of England meeting, during which there was a vote to increase the bank rate, the British pound has extended its rally from the prior session. It is currently up 0.7% against the dollar. In Asia, Japan's Nikkei closed with a 1.9% loss. Only a handful of companies in the 225-member index booked gains. Japan's largest phone company, NTT Data Corp., saw shares plunge after an employee was arrested for bribing a bureaucrat. In contrast, Hong Kong's Hang Seng managed to make a 0.2% gain. It was led by HSBC (HBC), though China Construction Bank and Industrial & Commercial Bank were both laggards. In Mainland China, the Shanghai Composite fell to a 0.7% loss. It also saw a divergence in banking issues as Bank of Communications staged a gain, but Industrial & Commercial Bank and Bank of China both booked losses.

08:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +4.70. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +6.50. The stock market finished the prior session on a weak note, but index futures point to a solid rebound. The improved tone among traders comes in the face of lackluster action in overseas markets and a flat euro. The British pound has extended its advance from the prior session, though; it is currently up 0.6% against the greenback. A handful of companies are out with quarterly earnings results. Among them, Jabil Circuit (JBL), Rite Aid (RAD), and Adobe (ADBE) posted better-than-expected earnings. Red Hat (RHT) posted in-line earnings and issued an in-line forecast. New home sales figures for May are due at 10:00 AM ET, but the main event for many traders is the latest directive from the Federal Open Market Committee at 2:15 PM ET. Interest rate targets are widely expected to remain unchanged, so close attention will be paid to the language and verbiage of the statement.

06:35 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +5.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +7.80.

06:35 am : Nikkei...9923.70...-189.20...-1.90%. Hang Seng...20856.61...+37.50...+0.20%.

06:35 am : FTSE...5228.60...-18.50...-0.40%. DAX...6263.33...-5.70...-0.10%.
