Today's Trade Log is archived @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewtopic.php?f=173&t=2689

All of my trades are posted real-time at the above link for today's archive chat log in the timestamp ##TheStrategyLab free chat room via the user name wrbtrader for anyone to do a real-time review (you must be a member of the chat room for a real-time review). Although the trades are posted by me and other users of WRB Analysis in real-time...this is not a signal calling chat room nor is this a live trading room that has a head trader telling you what to do. I'm the moderator (I keep the peace between members) and my own live trades are posted within 3.2 seconds on average after the trade confirmation in my broker trade execution platform via an auto script to minimize delays in posting of my trades. You can review today's price action trade journal about my trades (e.g. time, price entry, contract size, price exit, market analysis) 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), WRB Zones, Reaction Highs/Lows, Contracting Volatility or Expanding Volatility...all key concepts from the WRB Analysis free study guide even though the free chat room is not design to be an education chat room because the education is only performed at the forums in the private threads.

Quote:
2017 has been the most difficult trading year since I've begun trading +25 years ago because successful trading involves more than just trade methods than any other trading year. This is a key concept many traders have difficulties in understanding. Some blame it on algorithms. Others blame it on the political environment while I blame it on the inability to adapt, failure to backtest, failure to document trades (real-money or simulator) and underestimating how our environment influences our cognitive decision making while trading...all while trading in low volatility market conditions that statistically have the reputation for difficult trading.

Image ##TheStrategyLab Chat Room is free. The free chat room is not a signal calling trading room nor is it a live trading room with a head trader even though members of the chat room are posting their trades & market analysis in real-time. 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 TheStrategyLab free chat room is for you to use as your trade journal so that you can use as valuable feedback about your own trading and for members to help each other...as in more eyes on the market. In addition, we highly recommend that you use the free chat room with a professional trade journal software like tradebench.com, edgewonk.com, tradervue.com, tradingdiarypro.com, stocktickr.com, journalsqrd.com, tradingdiary.pro, mxprofit.com or trademetria.com because they can provide you with the quantitative statistical analysis of your trading. You can then download your results and post them in your private thread at the forum.

Also, you can use TheStrategyLab free chat room to ask real-time WRB Analysis questions. Yet, please do not post your quantitative statistical analysis, brokerage statements in the free chat room. Instead, its highly recommended that you only post that particular information in your private thread for security & privacy reasons. Yet, if you want to post that type of information at another website, blog or chat room...that's your choice.

TheStrategyLab free chat room is on IRC via users request because the IRC servers are located in many different countries, software in many different languages, many different mobile apps, many different types of social media software can be used to log in along with IRC being easier to moderate via script codes when trouble makers, spammers and trolls show up. I'm the moderator of the free chat room via the user name wrbtrader. Thus, I keep the peace between members without hesitation in removing problematic traders & trolls so that members can peacefully post their market observations, trades, WRB Analysis commentary about the markets without being trolled or harassed.

TheStrategyLab free chat room is not for traders looking for someone to hold their hands and tell them when to buy or sell nor do we allow the free chat room to be used for mentoring because we do not offer a mentoring service. The purpose of TheStrategyLab is for you to post your real-time analysis or trades so that you can review as feedback for any trading day to provide valuable information about the results in your broker statements. If you join the free chat room and then you decide to not post any WRB Analysis about the price action or you decide to not post your trades or you decide to be silent (lurk without saying a word about today's markets)...you're not using the free chat room properly to help improve your trading.

In fact, we do not want silent (lurkers) traders to join the free chat room unless they are actively posting at the forum about their trading after the markets close. Access instructions for the free chat room @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/tsl/forum/viewforum.php?f=164

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. Yet, I'm always backtesting new concepts of WRB Analysis, new trade entry rules, new trade management rules, new position size management rules before application in real money trades (small position size trades) to adapt to changed market conditions prior to large position size trades or sharing the new concepts with fee-base clients...living up to the name of my website.

Also, posted below for you to review 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.

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 RTY 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 for easy review 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 PnL 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.

Moving the Market

Stocks struggle to advance as market-moving catalysts remain in short supply

Heavily-weighted financial sector faces heavy selling; weighs on broader market

Sector Watch
Strong: Industrials, Materials, Health Care, Consumer Staples, Utilities, Telecom Services, Real Estate
Weak: Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Energy

04:30PM ET

[BRIEFING.COM] Equities ended Tuesday little changed after heavy losses from financial shares roughly balanced gains in most other areas. The Dow eked out a slim victory--and its fourth consecutive record close--while the S&P 500 finished just a tick below its flat line. The Nasdaq (-0.3%) struggled to keep pace with its peers, but the small-cap Russell 2000 significantly underperformed, plunging 1.3%.

The financial sector tumbled 1.3% amid broad weakness, finishing at the very bottom of the sector standings. Heavyweights like JPMorgan Chase (JPM 98.75, -2.03), Bank of America (BAC 27.18, -0.57), and Wells Fargo (WFC 55.05, -1.13) showed particular weakness, settling with losses of around 2.0% apiece. Today's slide leaves the sector at a fresh two-week low.

Meanwhile, the consumer discretionary sector also struggled on Tuesday, declining by 0.6%. Travel sites Priceline (PCLN 1645.72, -257.28) and TripAdvisor (TRIP 30.35, -9.18) were the sector's worst-performing components, plunging 13.5% and 23.2%, respectively, after Priceline issued disappointing profit guidance for the fourth quarter and TripAdvisor missed Q3 revenue estimates.

Retailers also weighed on the sector, evidenced by the 2.4% decline in the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT 39.00, -0.94)--which finished at a two-month low. There wasn't a single catalyst for the retail slide, but it did follow a Reuters report that some retailers are ordering less merchandise for the holiday season in fear of being stuck with unsold goods at the end.

On a positive note, the consumer staples (+1.1%), utilities (+1.2%), and real estate (+0.9%) sectors finished Tuesday solidly higher. Within the consumer staples space, pharmacy retailers CVS Health (CVS 68.95, +2.15) and Walgreens Boot Alliance (WBA 67.92, +1.98) bounced back from recent weakness, ending with respective gains of 3.2% and 3.0%.

In the bond market, U.S. Treasuries finished mostly higher, with the yield on the benchmark 10-yr Treasury note slipping one basis point to 2.31%.

Elsewhere, WTI crude futures dropped 0.3% to $57.20/bbl after hitting their highest level since July 2015 on Monday. A stronger U.S. dollar worked against the commodity; the U.S. Dollar Index climbed 0.2% to 94.79.

Reviewing Tuesday's economic data, which included the September Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) and the September Consumer Credit Report:

The September Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey showed that job openings stayed at 6.09 million.
The Consumer Credit report for September showed an increase of $20.8 billion (Briefing.com consensus +$18.3 billion).

On Wednesday, investors will receive just one economic report--the weekly MBA Mortgage Applications Index--which will be released at 7:00 ET.

Nasdaq Composite +25.7% YTD
Dow Jones Industrial Average +19.2% YTD
S&P 500 +15.7% YTD
Russell 2000 +9.0% YTD

[BRIEFING.COM] The major indices are still drifting a step below their unchanged marks.

Four sectors are trading in the red this afternoon--financials (-1.2%), consumer discretionary (-0.5%), energy (-0.3%), and technology (-0.1%)--while seven are trading in the green--materials (unch), industrials (+0.1%), telecom services (+0.1%), health care (+0.1%), real estate (+0.5%), consumer staples (+0.9%), and utilities (+1.1%).

Dow: -18.56… | Nasdaq: -24.38… | S&P: -3.96…

NASDAQ Adv/Dec 830/2045. …NYSE Adv/Dec 1159/1720.

01:55PM ET

[BRIEFING.COM] Equity indices continue to hover near their recent levels. The Nasdaq is down 0.3%, while the S&P 500 and the Dow shows losses of 0.1% apiece.

Retailers are struggling today, evidenced by the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT 38.97, -0.97), which is lower by 2.4%. Names like Target (TGT 57.87, -1.42), Macy's (M 17.59, -0.58), Kohl's (KSS 40.67, -1.95), and Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY 19.24, -0.73) show particular weakness, holding losses between 2.4% and 4.6%. Today's slide leaves the XRT at its lowest level since late August.

The consumer discretionary sector (-0.4%), which houses the aforementioned names, trades near the bottom of the sector standings, surpassed only by the heavily-weighted financial group (-1.1%).

Dow: -11.29… | Nasdaq: -18.82… | S&P: -2.04…

NASDAQ Adv/Dec 835/2031. …NYSE Adv/Dec 1161/1706.

01:30PM ET

[BRIEFING.COM] The major U.S. indices have been creeping higher since our last update, but still show modest losses at this time.

A look inside the Dow Jones Industrial Average shows that JP Morgan (JPM 98.92, -1.86), Nike (NKE 55.15, -0.89), & Goldman Sachs (GS 240.49, -3.00) are underperforming.

Conversely, Walt Disney (DIS 101.87, +1.23) is the best-performing Dow component as shares add to yesterday's gains that came in the wake of a CNBC report that the company recently held talks to acquire most of 21st Century Fox (FOXA 28.21, +0.76).

For the week, the DJIA is down 0.06%.

Elsewhere, at the top of the hour, the Treasury's $24 bln 3-year auction drew a high yield of 1.75% on a bid-to-cover of 2.76.

Dow: -24.61… | Nasdaq: -21.49… | S&P: -2..55…

NASDAQ Adv/Dec 816/2039. …NYSE Adv/Dec 1143/1718.

01:05PM ET

[BRIEFING.COM] Stocks have moved modestly lower today, retreating from their freshly-minted record highs. Small caps have shown particular weakness, sending the Russell 2000 lower by 1.3%, while the Nasdaq (-0.3%), the Dow (-0.1%), and the S&P 500 (-0.1%) trade just a step below their unchanged marks. Stocks held slim gains for much of the morning, but then slipped into the red about an hour ago.

Financials have paced today's retreat, sending the S&P 500's financial sector (-1.3%) to a two-week low. Heavyweights like JPMorgan Chase (JPM 98.61, -2.17), Wells Fargo (WFC 55.20, -0.97), Bank of America (BAC 27.03, -0.71), and Citigroup (C 72.50, -1.29) show relative weakness, losing between 1.7% and 2.5%.

A flattening of the yield curve, which doesn't bode well for lenders' net interest margins, has also worked against the sector. The yield on the benchmark 10-yr Treasury note has slipped two basis points to 2.30%, while the 2-yr yield has climbed one basis point to 1.63%.

Meanwhile, the consumer discretionary space (-0.4%) has also struggled today, with travel sites Priceline (PCLN 1672.45, -230.49) and TripAdvisor (TRIP 31.57, -7.96) plunging 12.1% and 20.2%, respectively, in reaction to their latest earnings reports. Priceline issued disappointing profit guidance for the fourth quarter, while TripAdvisor missed revenue estimates.

Elsewhere within the group, retailers are also underperforming, sending the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT 39.01, -0.93) lower by 2.3%.

On a positive note, select countercyclical sectors are trading higher, including the utilities (+1.2%), consumer staples (+1.0%), and health care (+0.1%) groups. Within the consumer staples space, pharmacy retailers like CVS Health (CVS 68.93, +2.13) and Walgreens Boot Alliance (WBA 67.86, +1.92) sport respective gains of 3.2% and 2.9%, bouncing back from recent weakness.

Today's economic data has been limited to the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, which showed that job openings stayed at 6.09 million in September. The September Consumer Credit Report (Briefing.com consensus $18.3 billion) will be released at 15:00 ET.

12:25PM ET

[BRIEFING.COM] Stocks continue to hover at session lows as financial shares tumble. The Nasdaq is down 0.5%, while the S&P 500 and the Dow show losses of 0.2% apiece.

The financial sector is lower by 1.3% amid broad weakness; outside of a handful of insurance names, just about all of the sector's components are trading in the red. Heavyweights like JPMorgan Chase (JPM 99.10, -1.68), Wells Fargo (WFC 55.20, -0.98), Bank of America (BAC 27.18, -0.58), Citigroup (C 72.77, -1.03), and Goldman Sachs (GS 240.31, -3.18) show losses between 1.3% and 2.1%.

In addition to financials, five other sectors are trading in negative territory--consumer discretionary (-0.6%), energy (-0.5%), telecom services (-0.4%), technology (-0.3%), and materials (unch).

Elsewhere, U.S. Treasuries have climbed to fresh session highs in recent action, with longer-dated issues showing relative strength; the yield on the benchmark 10-yr Treasury note is down two basis points at 2.30%. Meanwhile, the 2-yr yield continues to trade flat, hovering at 1.62%.

[BRIEFING.COM] The major U.S. indices are hovering at fresh session lows, with the S&P 500 showing a loss of 0.2%. Small caps show relative weakness, sending the Russell 2000 lower by 0.8%.

European stocks finished Tuesday's session broadly lower, evidenced by the Euro Stoxx 50, which slipped 0.7%. Germany-based automaker BMW showed particular weakness, losing 2.7%, after reporting worse-than-expected earnings. Meanwhile, French lenders like Societe Generale and Credit Agricole outperformed, adding around 0.5% apiece.

In the currency market, the euro has slipped 0.3% against the U.S. dollar to 1.1574--hitting its lowest level since mid-July--while the pound has dropped 0.2% against the greenback to 1.3146.

11:25AM ET

[BRIEFING.COM] Equity indices have popped back to their flat lines in recent action after slipping into the red for a short while. The Nasdaq still shows relative weakness, however, holding a loss of 0.2%.

The heavily-weighted financial sector (-0.3%) is struggling today amid broad weakness. Within the group, influential banking names like JPMorgan Chase (JPM 99.93, -0.84), Bank of America (BAC 27.42, -0.33), and Wells Fargo (WFC 55.70, -0.48) show particular weakness, losing between 0.9% and 1.2%. Financials have been largely trending sideways over the last two weeks following a bullish seven week run from September 7 to October 24--during which the sector added more than 12.0%.

Conversely, the lightly-weighted telecom services space has stayed true to its bearish trend, losing another 0.3% in today's session to extend its November loss to 4.3%. The group has lost 19.7% year to date, while the S&P 500 has climbed 15.8%.

[BRIEFING.COM] Equity indices have slipped to new session lows in recent action, with the S&P 500 now showing a loss of 0.1%.

The S&P 500's energy sector (-0.3%) trades near the bottom of today's sector standings as the price of crude oil slides following Monday's big gain of 3.0%; WTI crude futures are down 0.3% at $57.18/bbl. The consumer discretionary space (-0.3%) also shows relative weakness, with travel sites Priceline (PCLN 1706.98, -196.00) and TripAdvisor (TRIP 32.49, -7.04) plunging 10.4% and 18.1%, respectively, in reaction to their latest earnings reports. Priceline issued disappointing guidance for the fourth quarter, while TripAdvisor missed revenue estimates.

Meanwhile, select countercyclical groups like consumer staples (+0.7%) and utilities (+0.8%) show relative strength.

[BRIEFING.COM] The U.S. equity market ticked higher on Monday, with all three major indices rewriting the record highs they posted on Friday. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 added 0.3% and 0.1%, respectively, while the Dow (unch) eked out a narrow victory. The major indices traded within a pretty narrow range from start to finish.

Energy stocks led Monday's advance as the price of crude oil rallied to its highest level since July 2015; WTI crude futures finished higher by 3.0% at $57.29/bbl. The price increase followed a weekend purge in Saudi Arabia, in which Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman imprisoned dozens of princes, ministers, and ex-ministers on allegations of corruption. The S&P 500's energy sector finished at the top of the day's sector standings with a gain of 2.2%.

The consumer discretionary sector (+0.7%) also finished comfortably ahead of the broader market. Within the group, 21st Century Fox (FOXA 27.45, +2.48) and Walt Disney (DIS 100.64, +2.00) jumped 9.9% and 2.0%, respectively, following a CNBC report that the two companies have discussed a deal in recent weeks that would result in Disney owning most of 21st Century Fox. Meanwhile, Michael Kors (KORS 54.62, +7.00) surged 14.7% after reporting better-than-expected earnings and revenues.

Conversely, telecoms within the S&P 500 struggled on Monday, losing 2.4%, after Sprint (S 5.90, -0.77) and T-Mobile US (TMUS 55.54, -3.37) announced that they failed to reach a merger agreement; the two companies lost 11.5% and 5.7%, respectively. However, Charter Communications (CHTR 348.40, +12.97) jumped 3.9% following reports that Softbank--the parent company of Sprint--is now willing to re-explore acquisition talks with the company.

The consumer staples sector (-1.1%) also underperformed amid broad weakness. Within the group, pharmacy retailer CVS Health (CVS 66.80, -2.45) and food distributor Sysco (SYY 54.17, -2.49) dropped 3.5% and 4.4%, respectively, despite reporting above-consensus earnings.

In other corporate news, Broadcom (AVGO 277.52, +3.89) submitted a $70 per share takeover offer for Qualcomm (QCOM 62.52, +0.71), which, if completed, would mark the largest technology acquisition in history. However, CNBC reported that Qualcomm is expected to reject Broadcom's offer. The two chipmakers finished with gains of more than 1.0% apiece.

Elsewhere, U.S. Treasuries finished mostly higher, with the yield on the benchmark 10-yr Treasury note slipping two basis points to 2.32%. However, the 2-yr Treasury note bucked the trend, sending its yield one basis point higher to 1.62%. Meanwhile, the U.S. Dollar Index slid 0.2% to 94.63.

Also of note, New York Fed President William Dudley announced his decision to retire in mid-2018. Mr. Dudley has headed the New York Fed since 2009.

Investors did not receive any economic data on Monday, but they will receive three reports on Tuesday--the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index at 7:00 ET, the September Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) at 10:00 ET, and September Consumer Credit (Briefing.com consensus $18.3 billion) at 15:00 ET.
