A few days ago I had my biggest losing trading day in many years due to unfamiliar and strange price action reacting to BREXIT. In contrast, today I had my biggest profitable trading day due to the same reasons but I needed to adapt (make some changes). Contact me if you want to know what the difference was between the two trading days while both trading days was under the market context of BREXIT if you're unable to determine it from the chat logs. Also, my WRB Analysis statistics showed an unusual high percentage price reaction to WRB Hidden GAP intervals soon after the formation of the WRB Hidden GAP intervals that I can only attribute to algorithms footprint.

Today's Trade Log: All of my live trades are posted real-time in the timestamp ##TheStrategyLab free chat room. The live trade is posted 3.2 seconds on average after the trade confirmation via an auto script to minimize delays in posting of my trades. Also, the free chat room is not a signal calling chat room. You can read today's price action trading information about my trades (e.g. time, price entry, contract size, price exit) as the trade traversed to its completion. In addition, sometimes I'll post real-time trading tips in the free ##TheStrategyLab chat room involving WRBs, WRB Hidden GAPs, Key Market Events (KME), Tutorial Chapters 2 & 3, WRB Zones, Reaction Highs/Lows, Contracting Volatility or Expanding Volatility. Its all archived @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewtopic.php?f=157&t=2394

The free chat room is not a signal calling chat room. I do not mentor (never have) although I get many requests to do mentoring. There is education but only in members private threads at the forum involving members asking questions (help) about their own trading. Thus, the primary purpose of the free chat room is for you to use as your trade journal so that you can use as valuable feedback and for members to help each other...as in more eyes on the market. Also, you can use the free chat room to ask real-time WRB Analysis questions. Yet, please do not post your brokerage statements in the free chat room. Instead, its highly recommended that you only post your brokerage statements in your private thread for security reasons. The free chat room is on IRC via users request because the IRC servers are located in many different countries, software in many different languages and many different types of social media software can be used to log in. I'm the moderator of the free chat room. Thus, I keep the peace between members and I keep out the trouble makers so that members can peacefully post their observations about the markets, trades and WRB Analysis commentary.

All of my real-time posted trades involves price action concepts from the WRB Analysis free study guide, Advance WRB Analysis Tutorial Chapters 4 - 12 and the Volatility Trading Report (VTR) trade signal strategies. Analysis -----> Trade Signals

Also, posted below are direct links to information about my price action trade methodology and trading plan (there's a difference between the two) that enables me to identify key trading areas in the price action that represent changes in supply/demand and volatility along with being able to exploit these changes via WRB Analysis (wide range body/bar analysis). I'm primarily a day trader because it suits my personal lifestyle but I do occasionally swing trade and position trade. Simply, my trade method is applicable for position trading, swing trading and day trading.

The chat room helps me tremendously in my own trading because I use it to document (journal) general volatility analysis involving WRB Analysis so that I can easily review at a later date my thoughts as I interacted with the markets...info I can not get from my broker statements.

Market Context Summaries

The below summaries by Bloomberg, Briefing, Reuters and Yahoo! Finance helps me to do a quick review of the fundamentals, FED/ECB/BOE/IMF actions or any important global economic events (e.g. Eurozone, MarketWatch.com) that had an impact on today's price action in many trading instruments I monitor during the trading day. Simply, I'm a strong believer that key market events causes key changes in supply/demand and volatility resulting in trade opportunities (swing points and strong continuation price actions) that reach profit targets. Thus, I pay attention to these key market events, intermarket analysis (e.g. Forex EurUsd, EuroFX 6E futures, Gold GC futures, Light Crude Oil (WTI) CL & Brent Oil futures, Eurex DAX futures, Euronext FTSE100 futures, Emini ES futures, Emini TF futures, Treasury ZB futures and U.S. Dollar Index futures) while using WRB Analysis from one trade to the next trade to give me the market context for price action trading before the appearance of my technical analysis trade signals. Therefore, I maintain these archives to allow me to understand what was happening on any given trading day in the past involving key market events to help better understand my trade decisions (day trading, swing trading, position trading)...something I can not get from my broker statements alone. Further, most financial websites remove (delete) their archives after a few years to make room for new content. Therefore, I maintain my own archives of the news content so that I have it available for me when financial websites no longer archives their content.

4:15 pm: [BRIEFING.COM] The major averages ended a tumultuous session on a sharply lower note, selling off after the United Kingdom surprised markets by voting to leave the European Union. The move had widespread implications throughout capital markets as the S&P 500 (-3.4%) tumbled 75 points, losing the most points since September 1, 2015. Today's trade featured a flight from risk assets, a bid in safe havens, and the underperformance of the heavily-weighted financial (-5.4%), technology (-4.3%), industrial (-4.0%), and consumer discretionary (-3.6%) sectors. The Nasdaq Composite (-4.1%) ended its day behind the S&P 500 (-3.6%) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (-3.4%).

Global equity markets tumbled overnight as participants reacted to a surprise result from yesterday's Brexit vote. The "Leave" camp carried the referendum after receiving 51.9% of last night's vote. In response, European indices paced the retreat as investors looked ahead to the multi-year legal process of withdrawing the UK from the EU. Additionally, foreign exchange markets were in focus as the pound sank to a three-decade low (1.3231) against the dollar.

The major U.S. averages gapped lower at the beginning of the session as the heavyweight financial (-5.4%), technology (-4.3%), and industrial (-4.0%) sectors dragged on the broader market. To be fair though, all six cyclical sectors experienced heavy selling pressure as a flight from risk assets resulted in losses between 3.5% (energy) and 5.4% (financials). A downturn in crude oil added to the negative tenor as a rally in the buck weighed on the dollar-denominated commodity. For its part, WTI crude ended its pit session lower by 5.0% ($47.60/bbl; -$2.52). The S&P 500 (-3.6%) ended off its worst level of the day, but below prior technical support at the 2050 price level.

The economically-sensitive financial sector (-5.4%) moved lower in sympathy with European banking names as Deutsche Bank (DB 14.72, -3.12) experienced its largest daily point loss since 2008. Elsewhere, Lloyds Banking (LYG 3.33, -1.01) and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS 5.43, -2.06) lost 23.3% and 27.5%, respectively. On the home front, Dow component Goldman Sachs (GS 141.86, -10.80) ended its day at the bottom of the price-weighted index. The broader sector fell 5.4% today, extending its yearly loss to 7.4%.

The high-beta chipmakers demonstrated relative weakness, evidenced by the 5.8% decline in the PHLX Semiconductor Index. The growth-sensitive group experienced pressure as Skyworks (SWKS 61.61, -5.60) plunged 8.3%. In the broader technology sector (-4.3%), large cap component Microsoft (MSFT 49.86, -2.05) fell 4.0%.

In the consumer discretionary space (-3.6%), retail names ended ahead of the broader sector as the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT 41.10, -0.90) declined 2.1%. On the flipside, PVH (PVH 93.55, 9.19) fell 8.9% after the company reported that net revenue generated from inside the United Kingdom constituted 3.0% of its total net revenues. Separately, travel names weighed as large cap component Priceline (PCLN 1232.14) fell 11.4%.

The U.S. Dollar Index (95.48, +1.95) ended broadly higher as the euro and the pound finished with substantial losses against the buck. The euro/dollar pair declined 2.4% (1.1111) while sterling plunged 8.1% against the dollar (1.3676).

The Treasury complex settled off its session high as the yield on the 10-yr note finished lower by 17 basis points at 1.57%.

Today's participation was above the recent average as more than 1.1 billion shares changed hands on the NYSE floor. The Russell 2000 (-3.7%) likely contributed to the increased volume ahead of this evening's annual rebalancing.

Today's economic data was limited to Durable Orders for May and the final reading of Michigan Consumer Sentiment for May:

The advance report on durable goods disappointed as new orders declined 2.2% month-over-month (Briefing.com consensus -0.6%) while orders excluding transportation declined 0.3% (Briefing.com consensus +0.1%).
The disappointment is deep-seated for several reasons.
First, orders declined in almost every category.
Secondly, business investment continued to flag, evidenced by a 0.7% decline in new orders for nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft, which followed a 0.4% decline in April.
Third, shipments of nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft, which factor into the GDP report, were down 0.5%, reversing most of a 0.6% increase in April.
On a year-over-year basis, new orders excluding transportation are down 0.5% while orders for nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft are down 3.5%.
The decline in May featured a 34.1% drop in orders for defense aircraft and parts. Overall, though, new orders for transportation equipment declined 5.6%, led by a 2.8% drop in orders for motor vehicles and parts.
Some other prominent order declines were seen in primary metals (-1.4% after a 0.7% decline in April), fabricated metal products (-0.3% after a 3.6% increase in April), machinery (-0.2% after a 2.0% decline in April), electrical equipment, appliances, and components (-0.1% after a 0.2% decline in April).
The final reading for the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Survey revealed a dip to 93.5 from the preliminary reading of 94.3. The Briefing.com consensus estimate was pegged at 94.0.
The final reading for June was below the final reading of 94.7 for May and below the 96.1 reading seen for June 2015.
It was said in the release that consumers were a bit less optimistic in late June due to rising concerns about prospects for the U.S. economy.
Those concerns showed up in the Index of Consumer Expectations, which slipped to 82.4 from 84.9 in May.
The Current Economic Conditions Index actually ticked up to 110.8 from 109.9. That is the highest reading for this index since January 2007.
Separately, consumers' inflation expectations for the next 12 months were left unchanged at 2.4%.

Monday's economic data will be limited to the International Trade in Goods Report for May, which will be released at 8:30 ET.

Week in Review: Brexit Spoils Bull Party

The stock market gallivanted higher though the first fourdays of the week, but the upbeat attitude dissipated on Thursday evening afterit became clear that the British referendum on membership in the European Unionended with a 51.9% victory for the 'Leave' camp. The resulting Fridayselloff sent the S&P 500 lower by 3.6%. The index slid below its 50-daymoving average (2080), surrendering 1.6% for the week.

Although the weekly decline in the S&P 500 did not lookparticularly concerning, the moves that unfolded in the foreign exchange marketcaught the attention of many.

The final set of polls released ahead of the referendumpointed to a growing edge for the 'Remain' camp, which lulled some marketparticipants into a false sense of security. The pound notched a freshsix-month high against the dollar at 1.5018, but reversed in a flash afteractual results began pouring in.

The first signs of an impending reversal in the foreignexchange market began appearing around 18:00 ET on Thursday when the pound startedbacking away from its high. This took place after it was reported that the 'Remain'camp secured just a slight victory in Newcastle, where status quo was expectedto prevail by a large margin. Subsequent vote counts hinted at a much closerresult than it was first expected, which invited risk-off positioning into capitalmarkets.

At its lowest point, the pound was down nearly 11.0% againstthe dollar, but that decline was narrowed to 8.0% by the end of Friday. The volatilityleft the pound down more than 1,000 pips versus the dollar for the day, which isa move that would be expected to unfold over a few weeks under typicalconditions.

U.S. Treasuries surged in reaction to the developments, pressuringthe 10-yr yield to 1.40%--its lowest level since mid-2012.

The defensive finish to the week weighed on rate hikeexpectations, and the fed funds futures market now sees a higher chance of a ratecut in July (7.2%), September (7.2%), or November (7.0%) than that of a hike inNovember (1.9%). Looking farther out, the likelihood of a hike in February 2017sits at a lowly 22.3%.

3:00 pm:

[BRIEFING.COM] The major indices hover above new session lows as the Nasdaq Composite (-3.9%) trails the S&P 500 (-3.2%) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (-3.1%). The move lower corresponded with the benchmark index violating technical support near the 2050 price level and oil ending its pit session with a 5.0% decline ($47.60/bbl; -$2.52).

Nine sectors trade in the red with economically-sensitive financials (-5.1%) trailing materials (-4.3%), technology (-4.0%), and industrials (-3.8%). Conversely, countercyclical sectors outperform with health care (-2.6%), consumer staples (-1.5%), telecom services (-0.6%), and utilities (+0.2%) leading.

In the consumer discretionary space (-3.6%), retailers trade ahead of the broader sector, evidenced by the 2.1% decline in the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT 41.10, -0.90). In the group, Finish Line (FINL 20.54, +3.75) has surged 22.4% after reporting above-consensus results for the quarter. Conversely, PVH (PVH 93.98, -8.76) has stumbled 8.5% after reporting that 3.0% of its total net revenues are generated inside the United Kingdom.

The U.S. Dollar Index (95.40, +1.87) has drifted higher in recent action as the euro and commodity currencies lose ground to the greenback. The euro/dollar pair trades lower by 2.3% (1.1119) after slipping from the 1.1180 price level. Separately, the dollar has gained 1.4% against the Canadian dollar (1.2959).

2:30 pm:

[BRIEFING.COM] The major averages have ticked lower since our last update as the S&P 500 (-3.2%) violates technical support near the 2050 price level.

The energy (-3.2%) sector trades in-line with the broader market, succumbing to today's risk-off posture. Furthermore, oil has been pressured as a rebound in the greenback weighs on dollar-denominated commodities. Currently, WTI crude trades lower by 5.1% ($47.59/bbl; -$2.52) ahead of its pit session close at 14:30 ET.

In the sector, independent oil and gas names underperform as the group faces steeper downside risks from a prolonged downturn in crude oil. On the flipside, Dow components Chevron (CVX 102.35, -2.10) and Exxon Mobil (XOM 89.74, -2.06) show slimmer losses, trading ahead of the price-weighted index.

The U.S. Dollar Index (95.19, +1.67) has floated higher in recent action as the pound extends its loss against the greenback. Sterling trades lower by 7.9% against the dollar (1.3696).

The Treasury complex continues to back away from its high as equities float near their recent levels. The yield on the 10-yr note has slipped 16 basis points to 1.58%

2:00 pm:

[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (-2.8%) trades seven points off its worst level of the day, climbing back above the key 2050 price level. For the week, the benchmark index shows a loss of 0.9%.

In the front of the pack, countercyclical utilities (+0.9%), telecom services (+0.4%), and consumer staples (-1.1%) outperform.

In the consumer staples space (-1.1%), U.S. tobacco names demonstrate relative strength as Reynolds American (RAI 51.90, +1.06) and Altria (MO 67.86, +1.55) jump 2.1% and 2.4%, respectively. Conversely, Philip Morris International (PM 98.73, -3.17) underperforms as investors weigh the overseas exposure of some of its brands. Food names also lead in the sector as Tyson Foods (TSN 63.91, +0.55) and Hormel (HRL 35.34, +0.75) gain a respective 0.8% and 2.2%. The broader sector trades neck-and-neck with energy (-2.8%; week-to-date: +0.1%) on the weekly leaderboard. The two groups trail only utilities (+0.9%; week-to-date: +0.5%) and telecom services (-0.4%; week-to-date: +1.9%) over that time.

On the commodities front, gold ended its pit session higher by 4.7% ($1,322.50/ozt; +$59.40), extending its monthly gain to 8.6%.

1:35 pm:

[BRIEFING.COM] The major U.S. indices continue to trade under significant pressure following the shock EU referendum vote, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 2.9%.

A look inside the Dow shows that Goldman Sachs (GS 143.01, -9.65), JPMorgan (JPM 60.20, -3.85), and Caterpillar (CAT 73.56, -4.66) are underperforming. Following the surprising support for Britain to leave the EU, JPMorgan and Goldman are leading the Dow lower as the entire financial sector slumps on implications the decision could have on the industry.

Conversely, Wal-Mart (WMT 72.29, +0.19) is the Dow's best performing, and lone component in positive territory.

With global equities in free-fall today, the DJIA has now dropped into negative territory for June, currently down 1.6% this month.

1:10 pm:

[BRIEFING.COM] The stock market trades on a broadly lower note at midday, responding to Britain's surprising decision to leave the European Union. The move has reverberated through capital markets, pressuring risk assets and prompting a flight to safe havens. The extent of the downturn has been accentuated by weakness from the heavily-weighted financial (-4.7%), technology (-3.7%), industrial (-3.4%), and consumer discretionary (-3.3%) sectors. At midday, the Nasdaq Composite (-3.7%) trades behind the S&P 500 (-3.1%) and the Dow Jones Industrial Average (-2.9%).

European indices led the retreat overnight as participants weighed the potential implications a Brexit holds for the United Kingdom, the European Union, and global financial markets. The country surprised investors overnight when the "Leave" camp received 51.9% of yesterday's vote. Immediate repercussions for the decision were seen in the foreign exchange market as the pound tumbled to a level it last traded at in 1985 (1.3231). However, equity markets also experienced heavy selling pressure as Germany's DAX and France's CAC lost 6.8% and 8.0%, respectively.

The major U.S. averages opened under heavy selling pressure as heavyweight financials (-4.7%) and technology (-3.7%) weighed on the broader market. Furthermore, a downturn in crude oil also contributed to the negative bias. The S&P 500 (-3.1%) floated above its opening level throughout the morning. However, the benchmark index recently slipped to a new low after testing and violating technical support at the 2050 price level. At this juncture, nine sectors trade in the red with heavily-weighted financials (-4.7%), materials (-3.9%), technology (-3.7%), and industrials (-3.4%) rounding out the leaderboard.

The economically-sensitive financial sector (-4.7%) demonstrates broad-based weakness as the sector moves lower with European banking names. On that note, Deutsche Bank (DB 14.95, -2.88) trades lower by 16.2%, experiencing its largest daily point loss since 2008. In the sector, Dow component Goldman Sachs (GS 143.04, -9.62) has sunk 6.3%, rounding out the price-weighted index. The broader sector has extended its monthly decline to 6.1%, trailing the remaining groups over that time.

In the technology space (-3.7%), Dow components Microsoft (MSFT 49.87, -2.04) and IBM (IBM 148.15, -7.20) underperform, sliding 4.0% and 4.7%, respectively. Elsewhere, the high-beta chipmakers remain pressured, evidenced by the 5.0% decline in the PHLX Semiconductor Index. The index erased a weekly gain of 3.8% and currently shows a loss of 1.2% over that time.

The Dow Jones Transportation Average (-4.0%) trades behind the benchmark index as airline names lag. On that note, the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS 20.96, -1.13) has lost 5.1%. In the broader industrial sector, Boeing (BA 127.03, -6.52) underperforms, losing 5.0%.

Travel and leisure names weigh on the consumer discretionary space (-3.3%) as large cap component Priceline (PCLN 1237.00, -1.53) falls 11.0%. Conversely, fast food names outperform as McDonald's (MCD 119.67, -1.54) trades ahead of the broader sector and index.

The U.S. Dollar Index (95.17, +1.65) trades broadly higher as commodity currencies, the euro, and the pound lose ground to the greenback. The single currency has lost 2.0% against the buck (1.1158) while the pound has plunged 7.8% against the dollar (1.3713). Elsewhere, the dollar has lost 3.7% against the yen (102.23).

The Treasury complex trades off its session high as the yield on the 10-yr note remains lower by 17 basis points at 1.57%.

Today's economic data was limited to Durable Orders for May and the final reading of Michigan Consumer Sentiment for May:
