Exploited many trade opportunities today from my trading plan involving the Volatility Trading Report (VTr) and WRB Analysis tutorial chapter 12. In addition, posted a few good market commentaries on twitter that was useful to a few traders about volatility and wrb analysis. More importantly, I wanted a much better trading finish towards the closing bell in comparison to yesterday's sloppy trading finish. I was able to achieve that particular critical goal for today to give myself a 9 star ranking out of 10.


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

Also, I strongly believe that profitable trading involves more than just trade signals and that's why most traders fail because they put all their interest in trade signals while ignoring the impact of their trading habits/routine or personal lifestyle. If you don't understand this perspective...please ask questions here at the forum for more info or you can tweet me on twitter @wrbtrader.

Stocks Slip for Third Session
Weaker-than-expected readings on durable goods orders and new home sales weigh on markets, capping a losing week for Wall Street.
By Alexandra Twin, CNNMoney.com senior writer
Last Updated: September 25, 2009: 4:14 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Stocks fell for the third straight session Friday, ending lower for the week, after weaker-than-expected reports on durable goods orders and new home sales sparked concerns about the strength of any recovery.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) lost 42 points, or 0.4%, according to early tallies. The S&P 500 (SPX) index lost 6 points, or 0.6%. The Nasdaq composite (COMP) fell 17 points or 0.8%.

Stocks slid in the previous two sessions after the major indexes ended Tuesday at one-year highs. Investors reacted negatively to Wednesday's Federal Reserve meeting and Thursday's weaker existing home sales report and oil slump.

The mix of economic news Friday gave investors another reason to retreat after the recent advance. An attempt at stabilizing in the last hour of trading gave out near the close.

"Today is the third day that we are seeing selling on higher volume," said Curtis Lyman, managing director at HighTower Advisors. "It's indicative that the market is consolidating after the very nice recovery we've seen."

Stocks have seen a huge spike over the last 6-1/2 months. Since bottoming at a 12-year low March 9, the S&P 500 has gained 56.8% and the Dow has gained 48.9%, as of Thursday's close. After hitting a six-year low, the Nasdaq has gained 68%.

Economy: New home sales rose 0.7% in August to a 429,000 unit annual rate from a 426,000 unit rate in July, according to a government report released Friday morning. It was the fifth consecutive month of rising sales.

The results were shy of the 440,000 unit annualized rate economists were expecting, according to a survey by Briefing.com.

In general, the report added to other recent indications that the housing market has likely hit bottom. The housing market collapse and subsequent subprime mortgage meltdown were seen as sending the economy into recession in the first place, so a recovery in this area is critical for broader growth.

But not all signs point to improvement. A different report Thursday from the National Association of Realtors showed August sales of previously-owned homes fell 2.7% in August from July, after jumping in the previous month.

Another report released Friday showed that consumer sentiment rose more than expected in September. The University of Michigan's index rose to 73.5 from an initial reading of 70.2. Economists thought it would rise to 70.5.

An earlier report showed a surprise drop in durable goods orders last month. Orders for big-ticket items meant to last three years or more fell 2.4% in August versus forecasts for a rise of 0.4%, the Commerce Department reported. The surprise dip was largely due to a drop in commercial aircraft orders. Orders rose a better-than-expected 4.8% in July, including the impact of the Cash for Clunkers auto stimulus program.

Stripping out autos, August orders were flat versus forecasts for a rise of 1%. Orders excluding autos had risen 0.9% in July.

"We're seeing continued choppiness in the economic numbers, which points to the fact that the recovery is still in the early stages," Lyman said.

G-20 summit: The Group of 20 leading developed and emerging countries met for a second day in Pittsburgh. The Group has been meeting to discuss the financial crisis and how to prevent something like it from happening again.

On Thursday, the leaders agreed to make the group the new permanent council for international economic cooperation, essentially eclipsing the G-8, which doesn't include developing nations such as China, India or Brazil.

The G-8 will still meet on major security issues, but will be less influential.

Company news: Research in Motion (RIMM) reported a better-than-expected profit late Thursday, and also forecast third-quarter earnings in a range that includes analysts' estimates. But the BlackBerry maker also predicted third-quarter revenue would fall in a range that is short of analysts' current estimates. Shares slumped 17%.

After the close Thursday, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ, Fortune 500) issued a fiscal 2010 revenue forecast that is short of analysts' predictions and an earnings outlook in a range that could top analysts' expectations. On a broader level, the computer and printer maker said that the IT industry will return to growth next year and that the company will outpace the rest of the market. Shares were little changed.

In deal news, Unilever (UN) is buying Sara Lee (SLE, Fortune 500)'s personal care unit for $1.88 billion, the companies said Friday.

A number of retailers declined on concerns about the economy, including Wal-Mart Stores (WMT, Fortune 500).

World markets: Global markets were mostly lower. In Europe, London's FTSE 100 ended little changed, while France's CAC 40 and Germany's DAX both declined. Asian markets ended lower, with the exception of the Japanese Nikkei.

Currency and commodities: The dollar fell versus the euro and the yen. The greenback has repeatedly hit one-year lows against a basket of currencies over the last few weeks.

The weaker dollar had little impact on dollar-traded commodities, although it often moves in the opposite direction of oil and gold prices.

U.S. light crude oil for October delivery rose 13 cents to settle at $66.02 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

COMEX gold for December delivery fell $7.30 to settle at $998.90 an ounce. Gold closed at a record high of $1,020.20 last week.

Bonds: Treasury prices rose, lowering the yield on the benchmark 10-year note to 3.33% from 3.36% late Tuesday. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.

4:25 pm : Stocks looked as if they were going to trim losses amid some afternoon buying, but sellers redoubled their efforts late in the session to ensure that the stock market would log its third straight loss, which hasn't happened for three weeks.

Stocks initially looked as if they would firm up after sliding nearly 2% during the course of the previous two sessions, but the mood among participants dampened amid a surprise 2.4% drop in durable goods orders during August. Economists had expected a 0.4% increase. Excluding transportation, orders were flat, which missed the consensus forecast for a 1.0% gain.

Meanwhile, annualized new home sales figures for August came in at 429,000 units, which is a bit below the consensus call of 440,000 units. Though the sales rate was softer than expected, it still reflected a 0.7% monthly increase, but that didn't help stocks garner support.

Instead, broad-based weakness weighed on stocks for nearly the entire session. At their session lows, the S&P 500 was down nearly 1%, while the Nasdaq was down slightly more than 1%. Though the extent of their losses at session lows was similar, the Nasdaq lagged the other headline indices for most of the session, primarily due to weakness among large-cap tech issues. Large-cap tech was hampered by a rather conservative revenue forecast from Research In Motion (RIMM 68.91, -14.15) and the company's failure to quell concern regarding falling handset prices. Shares of RIMM responded by making their worst single-session percentage drop this year.

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ 47.02, +0.15) also issued its latest outlook, which was in-line with the consensus 2010 forecast, but that won it limited favor.

Meanwhile, McDonald's (MCD 56.95, +0.83) helped the Dow Jones Industrial Average hold up better than its counterparts against the efforts of sellers for the second straight session. McDonald's won support by lifting its quarterly dividend 10% to $0.55 per share.

Despite support from McDonald's, the Dow still lost 1.6% since last week. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.0% this week, while the S&P 500 logged a weekly loss of 2.2%. Their collective losses made for the stock market's worst week since July.

Amid weakness in the equity market, Treasuries ticked higher. Gains were especially strong at the long end of the yield curve. As such, the 30-year Bond gained more than one full point while the benchmark 10-year Note tacked on 16 ticks. The 2-year Note slid three ticks.DJ30 -42.25 NASDAQ -16.69 NQ100 -0.9% R2K -0.5% SP400 -0.6% SP500 -6.40 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1145/2.38 bln/1520 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1358/1.20 bln/1633

3:30 pm : Commodities closed in mixed fashion amid a moderately weaker dollar, which sent the Dollar Index 0.1% lower.

Crude oil prices finished a mere 0.1% higher at $65.97 per barrel after a couple of sharp pullbacks during recent sessions. Natural gas prices managed to make a 0.5% gain to settle at $3.97 per contract. For the week, oil prices finished nearly 10% lower, while natural gas logged a 5% gain.

Precious metals were less fortunate, though. Gold prices fell 0.7% to $991.90 per ounce, which leaves the yellow metal with a weekly loss of almost 2%. Silver prices fell 1.3% to $16.08 per ounce. They dropped almost 6% this week.DJ30 -11.71 NASDAQ -12.12 SP500 -2.79 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1126/1.97 bln/1514 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1400/818 mln/1562

3:00 pm : The major indices recently took a break after making an upswing from session lows, but another advance is now taking shape. In turn, stocks are at their best levels of the afternoon, with the Dow threatening to make a gain.

Energy stocks have benefitted most from the latest move higher. The sector is now sporting a 0.4% gain, the best of any major sector. Energy's bounce comes amid strength among refiners, which are up 3.7% as a group. DJ30 +3.33 NASDAQ -9.14 SP500 -1.56 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1143/1.82 bln/1501 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1409/752 mln/1544

2:30 pm : Amid a broad-market upswing, the consumer staples sector (+0.1%) has joined health care (+0.1%) in positive territory. Industrial stocks (-1.1%) and financial stocks (-0.9%) remain hampered by weakness, however.

Airline stocks have been performing particularly well. As such, the Amex Airline Index has gained 2.4%. That moves comes amid an upgrade of Continental Airlines (CAL 16.72, +0.69), US Airways (LCC 5.00, +0.09), AMR Corp (AMR 8.04, +0.30), and UAL Corp (UAUA 9.37, +0.54) by analysts at UBS. Airline stocks had been faring extremely well in recent weeks, but pulled back during recent sessions.DJ30 -23.20 NASDAQ -14.26 SP500 -4.47 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1049/1.72 bln/1566 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1243/702 mln/1707

2:00 pm : The major indices continue to lift up from their lows. Losses remain broad, though.

Health care is the only major sector to sport a gain. As a group, health care is up 0.1%. Pharmaceutical stocks (+0.5%) and biotech stocks (+0.4%) are providing the most the most support to the sector.

Industrial stocks and financial stocks are at the other end of things. The sectors are down 1.2% and 1.1%, respectively. DJ30 -34.31 NASDAQ -14.65 SP500 -5.44 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 986/1.57 bln/1621 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1239/641 mln/1718

1:30 pm : Stocks are trying to pull up from their recently reached session lows, which were registered just above the 1040 level for the S&P 500. Still, losses remain broad-based.

The decline among stocks has helped drive interest among Treasuries, especially at the long end of the yield curve. The 10-year Note is up 12 ticks, which has pushed its yield down to 3.33%. Meanwhile, the 30-year Bond is up more than one full point, which has lowered its yield to 4.11%.DJ30 -44.36 NASDAQ -18.21 SP500 -6.94 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 925/1.46 bln/1657 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1083/595 mln/1841

1:00 pm : Unimpressive economic data has prompted participants to push stocks toward their third straight loss, which hasn't happened in three weeks.

During premarket trading stocks looked as if they would firm up after incurring losses in each of the previous two sessions, but sellers renewed their efforts following a surprise 2.4% drop in durable goods orders during August. Economists had expected a 0.4% increase. Orders less transportation also disappointed by coming in flat for August. They were expected to climb 1.0%.

New home sales figures for August didn't do anything to sway the morning selling effort. They came in at an annualized rate of 429,000 units, but that was a bit softer than the rate of 440,000 units that was expected.

Selling pressure has been a bit more intense in the Nasdaq than it has in the other major indices, due to weakness among large-cap tech issues that stems from a relatively conservative revenue forecast from Research In Motion (RIMM 69.58, -13.48). The handset maker also failed to quell concern regarding falling handset prices.

Hewlett-Packard (HPQ 46.46, -0.41) was also out with guidance, which was in-line with analysts' consensus forecast. The stock has had a relatively quiet session, but is still trading lower amid broader market weakness.

McDonald's (MCD 57.00, +0.88) has garnered support after hiking its quarterly dividend 10% to $0.55 per share. That has helped the Dow limit its losses for the second straight session.

Still, weakness in the broader market has all 10 major sectors trading in the red and the S&P 500 on track to log its worst weekly performance since mid-July.

Advancing Sectors: (None)
Declining Sectors: Industrials -1.5%, Financials -1.5%, Materials -1.5%, Consumer Discretionary -1.0%, Technology -0.9%, Telecom -0.6%, Energy -0.5%, Consumer Staples -0.2%, Utilities -0.2%, Health Care -0.1%DJ30 -58.80 NASDAQ -19.47 SP500 -8.40 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 937/1.33 bln/1621 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1016/540 mln/1874

12:30 pm : For the second straight session the Dow Jones Industrial Average is holding up better than its counterparts against sellers. The blue chip index is currently deriving most of its support from McDonald's (MCD 57.00, +0.88), which declared last evening a quarterly cash dividend of $0.55 per share of common stock. That represents a 10% increase over the previous quarterly dividend.

ConAgra (CAG 21.47, -0.27) also recently announced a dividend increase, which brings its quarterly dividend to $0.20 per share from $0.19 per share. Sanderson Farms (SAFM 39.37, +0.15) raised its quarterly dividend to $0.15 per share from $0.14 per share.DJ30 -52.00 NASDAQ -18.38 SP500 -7.45 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 936/1.22 bln/1603 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1041/491 mln/1838

12:00 pm : Following some choppy trading, stocks recently slipped to fresh session lows. There isn't any particular news item to account for the sudden flurry of selling pressure, but the downward move has been broad based.

Though losses are mounting, the decline remains relatively modest. Still, stocks are on track to lose roughly 2.5% during the last three sessions. That would be the stock market's worst three-session performance since the beginning of the month.DJ30 -32.35 NASDAQ -14.56 SP500 -4.38 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 993/1.09 bln/1503 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1207/432 mln/1658

11:30 am : Weakness in retailers like Tiffany & Co. (TIF 35.88, -0.93), Target (TGT 46.27, -1.38), and Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY 37.45, -0.46) is considerable. In turn, retailers are down 1.3%, as a group.

Industrial stocks are also struggling this session. The sector is off by 0.9% with primary weakness among Quanta Services (PWR 22.01, -0.59) and Textron (TXT 17.68, -0.66). Shares of TXT were hit with a downgrade ahead of the opening bell.

Shares of Visa (V 71.20, -2.33) and MasterCard (MA 208.81, -6.13) have fallen under some stiff selling pressure of their own. The pair has fallen amid concerns regarding interchange fee reform, but several brokerage firms have come out to defend the stocks.DJ30 -17.08 NASDAQ -11.06 SP500 -2.59 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1042/961 mln/1450 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1284/384 mln/1551

11:00 am : Stocks continue to chop around. General weakness has the major indices in the red, though their degree of losses vary.

The Nasdaq is down more than either of its counterperts, but its decline remains rather modest. Still, the relatively weaker performance stems from losses among large-cap tech stocks, like Micosoft (MSFT 25.62, -0.32), Dell (DELL 15.35, -0.42), and Research In Motion (RIMM 70.16, -12.90). Research In Motion has seen its shares come under sharp pressure after making a relatively conservative revenue forecast and failing to remove concern regarding falling selling prices for its handsets. The stock is facing its worst single-session percentage loss of the year.DJ30 -14.66 NASDAQ -10.90 SP500 -2.60 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1029/767 mln/1425 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1267/324 mln/1513

10:35 am : October crude oil rose sharply off lows into positive territory and hit new session highs of $66.99 per barrel in recent activity. Overnight, crude traded just above the unchanged line before falling into negative territory to lows of $65.05 just before the open of pit trading. Currently, crude has pulled back off highs and is trading 0.8% higher at $66.44 per barrel.

August natural gas traded modestly higher overnight, but fell into negative territory a few minutes after the open of pit trading to morning lows of $3.895. In recent activity, natural gas moved off lows back near the unchanged line and is currently 1.2% lower at $3.908 per MMBtu.

The US Dollar Index moved back into negative territory, but is not causing precious metals to move much.

After chopping around just under the unchanged line overnight, December gold fell sharply (losing ~$13 per ounce) to morning lows of $985.50 a few minutes after the open of pit trading. Gold is currently trading 0.6% lower at $993 per ounce. December silver has been tracking gold and hit its own lows of $15.955 and is currently 0.6% lower at $16.195 per ounce.

In global shipping news, the Baltic Dry Index ended its recent 10 session losing streak after it gained 0.9% to close at 2183. The subindices were a mixed bag, but were led, once again, by the Capesize Index. Capesize time charter equivalent rates gained $1066 to $23,317/daily rate overnight, but still remain ~40% lower from a month ago and ~59% lower year/year.DJ30 +3.02 NASDAQ -5.14 SP500 +0.18 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1111/584.3 mln/1262 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1354/248.7 mln/1391

10:05 am : Thus far, trading has been quick moving and has left stocks struggling to find direction. In turn, the major sectors in the S&P 500 are showing mixed results.

New home sales for August came in at an annualized rate of 429,000 units, which reflects a 0.7% increase from the previous month. Economists, on average, had expected new home sales to hit a rate of 440,000 units.

Advancing Sectors: Energy +0.5%, Health Care +0.2%, Consumer Staples +0.2%
Declining Sectors: Materials -0.9%, Financials -0.8%, Industrials -0.7%, Technology -0.4%, Telecom -0.3%, Utilities -0.3%, Consumer Discretionary -0.2%

Early movers: Trading up -- CHTP +13.2%, EZPW +5.9%, RDY +5.5%, SLE +5.3%, RECN +5.3%, BC +5.1%; Trading down -- SUTR -18.7%, UCBI -17.3%, SWSI -16.6%, RIMM -14.3%, EMCI -9.8%, METR -9.2%, INOD -9%, KBH -8%, MNKD -7.5%, YRCW -6.5%, MGI -6.5%DJ30 -19.72 NASDAQ -10.19 SP500 -1.51 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 956/384 mln/1334 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1020/164 mln/1629

09:45 am : Stocks started the session with moderate losses, but the major indices are quickly improving their position.

Despite the upturn by the broader market, the materials sector and the financial sector continue to trade with weakness. Both were among the worst performers in the previous session and now both are trading with a 0.3% decline.

On the other hand, strength is most pronounced among health care stocks. The sector is up 0.5% at the moment.DJ30 +19.50 NASDAQ -3.79 SP500 +1.03 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1018/239 mln/1179 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1272/105 mln/1344

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -3.90. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -11.80. Stock futures suggested earlier this morning that things would firm up a bit after the broader market was hit with back-to-back losses. However, the direction of premarket trade has since turned lower, due to some disappointing durable goods orders data for August. The downturn in stock futures suggests that the 1.6% weekly decline currently facing stocks could hold. Should such a loss hold, it would mark the worst weekly downturn for the S&P 500 since mid-July. Participants get another trading catalyst with the release of new home sales data for August at 10:00 AM ET. Existing home sales data proved disappointing in the previous session and induced selling pressure.

09:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -4.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -11.30. U.S. stock futures remain off of their morning highs following a fit of selling pressure. Meanwhile, European markets are mixed as Germany's DAX drops to a 0.7% loss amid weakness in engineering giant Siemens (SI) and financial outfit Deutsche Bank (DB). Deutsche Telekom is providing support, though. Meanwhile, France's telecom giant, France Telecom, is providing an element of support to the CAC, which is down 0.6%. Financial services outfit BNP Paribas is a primary laggard. Britain's FTSE has managed to make a gain, however. The benchmark index is up 0.2%, at the moment. Global banking outfit HSBC (HBC) is showing considerable strength, despite weakness in fellow banking outfits Lloyds (LYG), Standard Chartered, and Barclays (BCS). According to The Wall Street Journal, Barclays is in talks to buy certain credit card assets from Citigroup (C). In Asia, the MSCI Asia Pacific Index shed 0.7%, while Japan's Nikkei dropped 2.6%. Brokerage outfit Nomura (NMR) weighed on action following its announced plans to issue up to $5.6 billion in shares. That undercut Mitsubishi UFJ Financial (MTU), Sumitomo Mitsui inancial Group, and Mizuho Financial (MFG). Broader market sentiment was also hurt by comments from China that the world needs to begin preparing exit strategies from stimulus policies. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng slipped just 0.1%. Banking issues were also a drag there. In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite closed 0.5% lower. Trading was sluggish ahead of an eight-day holiday that starts October 1. In other global trade, Taiwan's Taiex closed 0.3% higher, but South Korea's Kospi closed 0.1% lower. India's Sensex shed 0.5%, but Australia's S&P/ASX gained 0.3%. The Swiss Market was recently quoted 1.0% lower, while the OMX Stockholm Index is flat. Russia's Micex is down 0.1%.

08:35 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -4.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -14.30. Stock futures have turned lower in the wake of the latest Durable Goods Orders Report, which said that August orders decreased 2.4%. That was far below the 0.4% increase that was widely expected and down sharply from the 4.8% increase that was registered in July. The July figures originally showed a 4.9% increase. Excluding transportation, durable goods orders were flat for August. They were expected to climb 1.0% after increasing 0.9% in July. The July orders less transportation numbers originally showed a 0.8% increase.

08:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +1.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -7.00. Broad-market stock futures currently trade slightly higher amid a negative quarterly announcement from Research In Motion (RIMM). The company bested earnings expectations for the second quarter by bringing in $1.03 per share on revenue of $3.53 billion and went on to forecast third quarter earnings from $1.00 to $1.08 per share, which brackets the consensus estimate of $1.05 per share, on revenue from $3.60 billion to $3.85 billion, but Wall Street had forecast a top line of $3.92 billion for the third quarter. Shares of RIMM are down nearly 12% to $73.38 per share ahead of the opening bell. Shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) are down roughly 0.8% to $46.52 per share following their in-line guidance for fiscal 2010, for which the company expects adjusted earnings to range from $4.20 to $4.30 per share. That brackets the consensus estimate of $4.25 per share for 2010. Participants await August durable goods orders data, which is due at the bottom of the hour. New home sales for August are due later this morning at 10:00 AM ET, which is also when the final consumer confidence reading for September is expected to be released from the University of Michigan. Separately, global leaders continue to participate in the latest G-20 meeting.

06:46 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +1.40. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -7.50.

06:46 am : Nikkei...10265.98...-278.20...-2.60%. Hang Seng...21024.40...-26.30...-0.10%.

06:46 am : FTSE...5107.04...+27.80...+0.60%. DAX...5617.24...+12.00...+0.20%.
