Today's Trade Log & Price Action Analysis is archived @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewtopic.php?f=177&t=2752

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 and price action analysis are posted by me and other users of WRB Analysis in real-time...review of TheStrategyLab is that 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.

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 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 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 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.

Stocks reclaim opening losses; on track for third consecutive victory

Yield on 10-yr Treasury note remains near four-year high

Caution ahead of Wednesday's release of the core Consumer Price Index for January (Briefing.com consensus +0.2%)

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

04:10PM ET

[BRIEFING.COM] U.S. equities overcame early weakness on Tuesday to push the major indices higher for the third session in a row.

The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.5%, the S&P 500 rose 0.3%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2%, settling near their session highs. The three indices held losses of around 0.7% apiece at the opening bell, but slowly began moving back towards their flat lines, hitting positive territory in the early afternoon.

Nine of eleven S&P 500 sectors settled in positive territory, with financials (+0.5%), consumer discretionary (+0.5%), and real estate (+0.6%) being the top performers. Energy (-0.5%) and materials (-0.3%) were the two declining sectors, and health care (+0.1%) also showed relative weakness.

Within the consumer discretionary space, Under Armour (UAA 16.70, +2.47) rallied 17.4%, hitting its best level since late October, after reporting better-than-expected sales for the fourth quarter. Internet retail giant Amazon (AMZN 1414.51, +28.28) also helped the consumer discretionary sector, climbing 2.0%.

Meanwhile, in the health care space, AmerisourceBergen (ABC 97.77, +8.32) spiked 9.3% following a Wall Street Journal report that Walgreens Boot Alliance (WBA 68.29, -0.17) has reached out to the drug distributor about a potential takeover.

In the bond market, Treasuries finished Tuesday mostly higher, although the 2-yr note declined. The benchmark 10-yr yield slipped three basis points to 2.83% after settling Monday at a four-year high, while the 2-yr yield rose two basis points to 2.09%. Yields move inversely to prices.

Elsewhere, West Texas Intermediate crude futures slipped 0.2% to $59.19 per barrel, the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) declined around one point, or 2.3%, to 25.02, and the U.S. dollar tumbled 0.5% against the euro (1.2357) and 0.8% against the Japanese yen (107.82).

Tuesday's lone economic report--the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index for January--rose to 106.9 from 104.9 in December.

On Wednesday, investors will receive the weekly MBA Mortgage Applications Index at 7:00 AM ET, the Consumer Price Index (Briefing.com consensus +0.4%), the core Consumer Price Index (Briefing.com consensus +0.2%), and Retail Sales (Briefing.com consensus +0.2%) for January at 8:30 AM ET, and Business Inventories for December (Briefing.com consensus +0.3%) at 10:00 AM ET.

Emphasis will be placed on the core Consumer Price Index as a hotter-than-expected reading could prompt inflation/rate hike concerns.

The S&P 500 futures are seven points, or 0.3%, below fair value.

This morning's weakness follows solid gains for the major averages on Monday; the Dow climbed 1.7%, the Nasdaq rose 1.6%, and the S&P 500 added 1.4%. Each of the S&P 500's eleven sectors finished Monday in the green, with eight adding at least 1.0%.

[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: -7.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -17.80.

The S&P 500 futures are trading eight points, or 0.3%, below fair value following back-to-back victories on Wall Street.

Despite the back-to-back wins, the stock market remains a ways below its record close on January 26 following several big sell offs earlier this month; the S&P 500 lost 2.1% on the 2nd, 4.1% on the 5th, and 3.8% on the 8th. The sell offs were attributed to several factors, including rising interest rates, bad bets on volatility, and the realization that stocks have gone too, far too fast.

Meanwhile, Treasury yields are mixed this morning, the U.S. dollar is down, and the price of crude oil is modestly lower:

The benchmark 10-yr yield is at 2.83% after finishing Monday at 2.86%--its highest level in four years.
The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.5% at 89.55, with the greenback losing 0.5% against the euro (1.2349) and 1.1% against the yen (107.47).
West Texas Intermediate crude futures are down 0.3% at $59.14/bbl, giving back yesterday's modest win--which broke a six-session losing streak.

Today's lone economic report--the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index for January--was released earlier this morning, rising to 106.9 from 104.9 in December.
