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, although this journal contains advertisements involving my trade methods, it does contain useful trading tips a few times per week. Thus, if you're looking for trading tips that can improve your trading and understand that profitable trading 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 that's the same as my user name on twitter.

Today's #FuturesTrades chat room logs is archived @ http://www.thestrategylab.com/ftchat/forum/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=473.

Quote:
Today's results are NO TRADES. As stated the past few trading days...a family member (one of my kids) was having surgery today. Simply, there are more important things than trading and today was one of those more important things. By the way, surgery went well and I'll be back to trading on tomorrow on Friday.

Trading Tip: Chat rooms are excellent for real-time market collaboration but if you're new to chat rooms...only participate (talk) or watch what others are saying when you're not in the middle of a trade or not looking for a trade.


In addition, posted below are direct links about my trade methodology or trading approach 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 analysis).

Dow Win Streak Rises To 8
By Alexandra Twin, senior writer
March 18, 2010: 5:58 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Buying in select blue chips Thursday propelled the Dow to its eighth straight gain and the highest close in nearly 18 months, but the broader market churned as investors showed some reluctance after the recent rally.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) added 45 points, or 0.2%, ending at the highest point since Oct. 1, 2008. The Dow has now ended higher for eight straight sessions -- matching the winning streak that ended on Aug. 27 of last year.

The S&P 500 index (SPX) ended just below unchanged after finishing the previous session at its highest point since Sept. 26, 2008. The Nasdaq composite (COMP) added a few points and ended at the highest point since Aug. 28, 2008, nearly 19 months.

Stocks seesawed midday Thursday as investors welcomed reports that suggest pricing pressure remains mild and that jobless claims fell last week.

The Dow, S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have risen in four of the last five weeks and all currently on track to end higher for this week. The Dow has ended higher in 15 of the last 16 sessions through Thursday, while the Nasdaq and S&P have closed higher in 14 of the last 16 sessions.

After such a run, stock investors showed reluctance to make much of a move on Thursday.

Stocks rallied Wednesday, with the three major indexes all closing at new 2010 highs, after the U.S. and Japanese central banks chose to keep interest rates low. The gains were also driven by the Senate's passage of a $17.6 billion jobs bill that President Obama is expected to sign into law Thursday.
How high will bond rates go?

Jobs market: The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment fell to 457,000 last week from 462,000 the previous week, the government said. Economists had been expecting 455,000 new claims.

Continuing claims, a measure of those who have been receiving benefits for a week or more, rose to 4,579,000 from 4,567,000 the previous week. Economists expected 4,522,000 in continuing claims.

Inflation: The Consumer Price Index (CPI) was unchanged in February after rising 0.2% the month before, according to a government report released before the start of trading. Prices were expected to have risen 0.1% in the month.

The so-called core CPI, which removes volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.1% in February after falling 0.1% in January, meeting expectations.

Other economic news: The Conference Board released its index of leading economic indicators (LEI) shortly after the start of trading. LEI rose 0.1% in February, as expected, after rising 0.3% in the previous month.

The Philadelphia Fed index, also released after the start of trading, rose to 18.9 in March from 17.6 in February. Economists thought it would rise to 18.

Greece: The nation warned Thursday that it will have to tap the International Monetary Fund for help if the European Union can't agree next week to a plan of attack that will help it cut its borrowing rates. Going outside the 16-nation euro zone would be seen as a blow to the group and could further weaken the euro.

Greece has already implemented so-called austerity measures to cut back some of its debt, including lifting the retirement age and asking government workers to take pay cuts. However, these measures are being countered by rising borrowing rates, as lenders fear that Greece will ultimately default on its debt.

FedEx: FedEx (FDX, Fortune 500) reported higher fiscal third-quarter sales and earnings that topped estimates, thanks to higher shipping volume. Shipping volume is a key measure for FedEx and the improvement is seen as a good sign for the economy.

The package delivery firm also lifted its forecast for full-year earnings to a range that meets analysts' estimates. But the company said fiscal fourth-quarter earnings will fall in a range that could miss analysts' estimates, leaving shares little changed.

On the move: A variety of bank shares slipped with analysts at Citigroup and a few smaller brokerages cautioning that the sector is vulnerable to a pullback after having bounced so much off the market lows a year ago.

Since the broad stock market bottomed on March 9, 2009, the Financial Select Sector (XLF), which tracks the biggest financial stocks, has gained over 150%.

On Thursday, regional banks such as KeyCorp (KEY, Fortune 500), SunTrust Banks (STI, Fortune 500) and Fifth Third Bancorp (FITB, Fortune 500) all fell. Larger financial firms including Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500) and Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) also fell.

Market breadth was mixed. On the New York Stock Exchange, losers narrowly edged winners four to three on volume of 922 million shares. On the Nasdaq, decliners beat advancers five to four on volume of 2.1 billion shares.

The dollar and commodities: The dollar gained versus the euro and the yen.

U.S. light crude oil for April delivery fell 73 cents to settle at $82.20 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

COMEX gold for April delivery rose $3.30 to settle at $1,127.50 per ounce.

Bonds: Treasury prices fell, raising the yield on the 10-year note to 3.66% from 3.64% late Wednesday. Treasury prices and yields move in opposite directions.

World markets: In overseas trading, European markets slipped. The London FTSE ended little changed, the French CAC 40 fell 0.4% and the German DAX lost 0.2%. Asian markets tumbled, with Japan's Nikkei losing 0.1% and the Hong Kong Hang Seng falling 0.3%.

4:30 pm : Action was choppy and lackluster this session, but the Dow still mustered enough support to make a fresh 52-week high. Meanwhile, the broader market muddled along with a moderate loss for most of the session before it managed to make a flat finish.

Support for blue chips helped drive the Dow to a moderate gain, which put it at its best level since October 2008. Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by 2-to-1 in the Dow. Caterpillar (CAT 59.77, -0.45) was a laggard in the group after it announced disappointing monthly sales metrics for February.

In other corporate news, FedEx (FDX 92.67, +2.87), Nike (NKE 74.66, +3.78), and Guess (GES 47.35, +0.67) all announced better-than-expected earnings. Shares of all three names booked new 52-week highs this session.

The broader market was unenthused by the upbeat batch of earnings, however. In turn, it was mired in listless action for almost all of the session.

Unlike the prior session, natural resource plays were out of favor. As such, energy stocks shed 1.2%. Their weakness was exacerbated by a 0.9% decline in oil prices to $82.20 per barrel and a 4.9% fall in natural gas prices to $4.09 per MMBtu. Natural gas prices were primarily pressured by news of a smaller-than-expected draw in weekly inventories. Natural gas has traded as a laggard among commodities this entire week.

Materials stocks made up the next worst performing sector. They fell 0.7%.

A stronger dollar didn't bode well for the energy and materials sectors. The greenback gained 0.8% against competing currencies. That marked its best single-session percentage gain in one month.

The dollar managed to sustain its gain in the face of tepid consumer price data, which is often treated as a barometer for inflation expectations. Specifically, the Consumer Price Index for February was flat and core prices increased 0.1% month-over-month. Economists, on average, expected a 0.1% monthly increase for the headline CPI number, while the same increase had been expected for the core figure.

In other economic news, initial jobless claims for the week ended Mar. 13 totaled 457,000, which is on par with the 455,000 initial claims that had been expected and down 5,000 from the prior week. Continuing claims totaled 4.58 million, which is greater than the 4.52 million continuing claims that had been expected. Continuing claims for the prior week were upwardly revised to 4.57 million, though.

The Philadelphia Fed Index for March came in at 18.9, which is a bit above the reading of 18.0 that had been expected. Leading Indicators registered a 0.1% increase, as expected.

Though this session's action was choppy, and at times sloppy, volatility dropped to a fresh 52-week low. The Volatility Index closed 1.7% lower.

Advancing Sectors: Industrials (+0.7%), Telecom (+0.6%), Health Care (+0.6%), Tech (+0.2%)
Declining Sectors: Energy (-1.2%), Materials (-0.7%), Financials (-0.5%), Utilities (-0.4%)
Unchanged: Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary DJ30 +45.50 NASDAQ +2.19 NQ100 +0.4% R2K -0.4% SP400 -0.4% SP500 -0.38 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1141/2.08 bln/1528 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1281/923 mln/1737

3:30 pm : Equity averages are straddling the unchanged level. The Dow is outperforming, however, currently posting a slight gain of 0.4%.

Energy commodities sold off this session. April natural gas fell 4.9% to $4.09 per MMBtu after inventory data this morning sent prices through the floor. Natural gas futures are now down 32% since January 6. Crude oil futures also traded lower this session. April crude oil traded below the $82 level late in the morning but closed at $82.20 per barrel, down 0.9%. Heating oil futures lost 1.0% while RBOB gasoline lost 0.4%. In total, the energy complex lost 1.8% this session.

Precious metals fared much better than energy commodities, despite a 0.7% increase in the dollar increase. April gold closed 0.3% higher at $1127.50 per ounce; May silver closed 0.6% lower at $17.42 per ounce.

Continuing their volatile recent trade, sugar futures saw the largest relative gains this session. May sugar closed 3.8% higher at $0.19 per pound. DJ30 +38.70 NASDAQ +0.95 SP500 -1.91 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1142/1.70 bln/1518 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1224/668 mln/1779

3:00 pm : The S&P 500 recently made a run up to the unchanged mark, but it was unable to push into positive territory. It has since returned to a modest loss.

Though stocks have struggled to find higher ground this afternoon, a loss this session would merely mark the first down session of this week. Since the start of this week stocks are up 1.2%. Month-to-date, stocks are up more than 5%, which makes for the stock market's best monthly performance since July 2009. DJ30 +27.13 NASDAQ -0.95 SP500 -2.46 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1099/1.50 bln/1541 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1187/600 mln/1811

2:30 pm : Semiconductor stocks are having a rather weak session. In turn, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is down 0.9% at the moment. Of its 20 components, only Broadcom (BRCM 33.91, +0.30) is in higher ground. Its shares were upgraded by analysts at Goldman Sachs.

While semiconductor stocks are under pressure, large-cap tech has been a primary source of support for the broader tech sector, which is up a relatively tame 0.2% at the moment. DJ30 +34.39 NASDAQ +0.58 SP500 -1.96 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1110/1.40 bln/1511 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1215/549 mln/1757

2:00 pm : The Dow recently made its way to a fresh session high, but the S&P 500 has yet to return to higher ground. The Dow is currently led by Boeing (BA 70.58, +1.20), 3M (MMM 83.38, +1.20), and IBM (IBM 128.43, +0.67). However, Caterpillar (CAT 59.75, -0.47) is a laggard among blue chips; the company announced this morning that its February retail sales of machines declined 20% from the prior year. The industrial machinery maker posted other annual retail sales declines too.

Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is being hampered by Marshall & Isley (MI 7.82, -0.52), which was recently the subject of negative analyst commentary. Nike (NKE 74.65, +3.77) has helped provide the broad-based index some support, though; the athletic footwear and apparel company brought in better-than-expected earnings for its latest quarter. DJ30 +29.78 NASDAQ -0.02 SP500 -2.41 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1099/1.32 bln/1525 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1197/519 mln/1761

1:30 pm : Stocks have made their way up from session lows with help from the greenback's pullback. The dollar had been up 1% at its session high, but it has pared that gain so that it now trades 0.7% for the better. Still, action in the broader market remains listless and choppy.

The Volatility Index is down another 2.0% this session. That puts the VIX at a fresh 52-week low. DJ30 +29.25 NASDAQ -0.35 SP500 -2.35 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1099/1.19 bln/1498 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1288/476 mln/1725

1:05 pm : Stocks have spent this session consolidating a recent string of advances that culminated in fresh 52-week highs in the prior session. In turn, action has been both listless and lackluster.

Inclined to step to the sidelines after watching stocks advance in twelve of the past 14 sessions, market participants shrugged off better-than-expected earnings from FedEx (FDX 90.10, +0.30), Nike (NKE 75.00, +4.12), and Guess (GES 47.01, +0.33).

In-line consumer price data and in-line initial jobless claims numbers also did nothing to convince buyers to come back into the market.

Gains by the greenback have also hampered action this session. The dollar is currently up 0.8% against competing currencies.

The energy sector has been most burdened by the dollar's advance. The sector is down 1.5% as oil prices and natural gas prices are pushed lower. OIl is down 1.0% to $82.10 per barrel at the moment, while natural gas is down 5.1% to $4.08 per MMBtu. Weakness in natural gas prices has been exacerbated by disappointing weekly inventory data.

Financials have also been out of favor, though. The sector is down 0.9% at the moment. Regional banks were leaders for the sector in the prior session, but they are laggards in the latest round of action. The group is currently off by 2.2% even though FDIC Chairman Bair stated that banks are making progress as they work through troubled assets, which she said will likely peak this year and improve next year, according to Reuters. DJ30 +25.62 NASDAQ -1.04 SP500 -3.06 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1052/1.08 bln/1541 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1178/438 mln/1766

12:30 pm : The stock market extended its recent slide so that all three major indices now trade at fresh session lows. The move has taken the financial sector to a 1.0% loss.

Regional banks remain the worst performers in the financial sector. With a 2.1% decline, they have handed back almost all of their gains from the prior session.

Among regional lenders, Comerica (CMA 37.91, -0.33) announced that it has redeemed the $2.25 billion of preferred stock that it issued to the Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). In addition to the redemption payment, Comerica paid the Treasury almost $151 million in dividends on the preferred stock since it was issued in November 2008. By repaying the TARP investment, Comerica will eliminate the annual $134 million negative impact on net income to common shareholders related to the preferred stock.

On a related note, FDIC Chairman Bair stated that banks are making progress as they work through troubled assets, which she said will likely peak this year and improve next year, according to Reuters.

Elsewhere in the financial sector, Hartford Financial (HIG 27.86, -0.72) priced an offering of 52.3 million shares of common stock at $27.75 per share, which marks a near 3% discount to the stock's prior session closing price. Hartford also announced a concurrent offering of 20 million depositary shares that take a fractional interest in the company's Series F 7.25% Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. DJ30 +9.67 NASDAQ -3.20 SP500 -4.13 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1084/979 mln/1482 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1185/398 mln/1751

12:00 pm : The dollar has extended its advance so that it now sports a 1.0% gain against competing currencies. The major indices have rolled over in response. That has put the S&P 500 at a fresh session low. Still, the scope of the stock market's overall decline remains modest.

Though the stock market's recent slip has been broad based, natural resource plays have been among the hardest hit. In turn, the energy sector now trades with a 1.2% loss. Its weakness has been exacerbated by softer oil and natural gas prices -- oil was last priced 1.3% lower at $81.85 per barrel and natural gas was last priced 4.8% lower at $4.10 per MMBtu.

Meanwhile, materials stocks have fallen to a fresh session low of their own. Collectively, materials stocks are down 0.6%. DJ30 +6.05 NASDAQ -1.31 SP500 -3.26 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1161/835 mln/1376 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1246/345 mln/1661

11:30 am : Materials stocks had been up as much as 0.6% in the early going, but the sector has since surrendered its gain to trade with a 0.3% loss. The sector's downturn has been broad based with 22 of its 31 components in negative territory.

Industrial stocks have managed to put together a solid gain. The sector is up 0.5% at the moment. Industrials also make up the best performing sector of 2010 -- they are up more than 11% year-to-date.

Meanwhile, the broader market continues to trade in choppy, listless fashion. DJ30 +31.21 NASDAQ +2.94 SP500 -0.45 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1257/725 mln/1236 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1442/290 mln/1435

11:00 am : Financials continue to trail the broader market. The sector is down 0.4% at the moment. Regional banks are a primary source of weakness in the sector. They are down a collective 1.2% after advancing more than 2% during the prior session.

Energy stocks have also handed back a portion of their gains from the prior session. The energy sector tacked on more than 1% on Wednesday, but it is down 0.7% this session. Its pullback correlates with weakness in oil prices and natural gas prices. Oil prices were last quoted 0.7% lower at $82.35 per barrel, while natural gas prices were last quoted 3.8% lower at $4.14 per MMBtu. DJ30 +25.62 NASDAQ +1.34 SP500 -0.61 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1180/573 mln/1269 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1418/240 mln/1422

10:30 am : The US Dollar Index continues to trade higher, which is pressuring half of the commodity complex. The energy market is weak, while precious metals are higher. Natural gas was trading lower ahead of inventory data.

April natural gas rallied to fresh session highs of $4.29 per MMBtu as pit trading opened, but remained in negative territory. The energy component has since pulled back, giving back those gains. Ahead of the inventory data, natural gas was trading 1.1% lower at $4.25 per MMBtu. Following the data, which showed a draw of 11 bcf versus consensus of a draw down of 30 bcf, natural gas fell to fresh lows of $4.14 per MMBtu, now 3.3% lower at $4.16 per MMBtu.

April crude oil has traded in negative territory all session. Crude hit lows around 5:00am ET at $81.89 per barrel, but has recovered most of its losses. However, it is still trading in the red at $82.46 per barrel, down 0.6%.

Precious metals have recovered off lows, despite strength in the dollar index. April gold hit lows of $1118.40 per ounce overnight, while May silver hit a low of $17.38 per ounce. Currently gold and silver are back near the unchanged line at $1124.80 per ounce and $17.50 per ounce, respectively. DJ30 +25.24 NASDAQ +0.07 SP500 -0.21 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1098/388.6 mln/1282 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 73.5/167.8 mln/78.3

10:00 am : Continued strength in shares of DuPont (DD 37.35, +0.85) and Alcoa (AA 14.80, +0.34) has helped the Dow take a slight lead over its counterparts. The pair has also helped the materials sector extend its move this morning to a 0.5% gain, which makes it the best performing sector in the early going.

The Philadelphia Fed Index for March was just released. It came in at 18.9, which is a bit above the reading of 18.0 that had been expected.

Leading Indicators were also just released. They registered a 0.1% increase, as expected. DJ30 +22.07 NASDAQ +0.25 SP500 +0.31 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1051/255 mln/1228 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1479/116 mln/1225

09:45 am : Stocks are trading in choppy fashion during the first few minutes of the session. So far, action has generally been listless, but materials stocks have shown moderate strength -- they are up 0.3%.

Meanwhile, financials are notably weak, down 0.4%, after advancing more than 1% during the prior session. The prior session's move came in the face of Citigroup's decision to downgrade the sector. DJ30 +5.67 NASDAQ -2.19 SP500 -0.85 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 939/136 mln/1235 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1229/74 mln/1359

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -1.30. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +1.00. A subdued tone to premarket trade suggests that stocks may be looking to consolidate their recent gains, which culminated in a fresh 52-week high for each of the three major indices during the prior session. In-line consumer price data and initial jobless claims this morning haven't done anything to convince buyers to come back into the market. A stronger dollar is also a likely deterrent; it is currently up 0.5% to trade near morning highs. Meanwhile, market participants have met a small batch of better-than-expected earnings from FedEx (FDX), Nike (NKE), and Guess (GES) with indifference.

09:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -1.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +1.30. The tone remains rather subdued among U.S. participants in premarket action. Action is also quiet in Europe, where Britain's FTSE is currently up a tame 0.2%. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is strong after Novartis handed back certain U.S. drug rights. However, major banking outfits, including HSBC (HBC), Barclays (BCS), and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), are under pressure. In Germany, the DAX is up 0.1%. Bayer is under pressure, but Adidas has advanced amid strong results from competitor Nike (NKE). In France, the CAC is currently unchanged, but Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) has slumped amid reports that it may lose rights to certain patent royalties. Greece remains a source of headlines; a German finance spokesman expressed that Greece should turn to the IMF if it needs financial aid, while Greece's Prime Minister stated that his country needs a firmer bailout plan to lift market pressure on its borrowing rates. The comments come just a couple of days after European leaders convened to reach a consensus on how to provide support to Greece, though details of such a plan were lacking. In Asia, the MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped 0.3%, while Japan's Nikkei lost 0.9%. Exporters were hurt by a stronger yen. Canon (CAJ) and Olympus declined. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng shed 0.3%. However, China Mobile (CHL) reversed losses to log a solid gain after it reported better-than-expected quarterly results. In mainland China, the Shanghai Composite closed 0.1% lower.

08:35 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -0.60. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +1.80. Stock futures remain flat following a flurry of data. The Consumer Price Index for February was flat; a 0.1% monthly increase had been expected. Core prices increased 0.1% month-over-month, as expected. The February figures followed January's 0.2% monthly increase for headline CPI and a 0.1% monthly decrease for core CPI. Meanwhile, initial jobless claims for the week ended Mar. 13 totaled 457,000, which is on par with the 455,000 initial claims that had been expected and down 5,000 from the prior week. Continuing claims totaled 4.58 million, which is greater than the 4.52 million continuing claims that had been expected. Continuing claims for the prior week were upwardly revised to 4.57 million.

08:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -1.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: flat. Stock futures currently trade with little direction. The subdued tone comes despite better-than-expected earnings from FedEx (FDX), Nike (NKE), and Guess (GES). However, the greenback has gained ground against competing currencies, such that the Dollar Index is up 0.4%. Action in Europe has been quiet as the continent's major bourses trade flat. The latest headlines out of Greece indicate that the country's Prime Minister said the country needs a firmer bailout plan to lift market pressure on its borrowing rates. There's a flurry of data scheduled for the bottom of the hour. The list includes consumer price data, weekly jobless claims, and the fourth quarter current account balance.

06:42 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -2.40. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -1.80.

06:42 am : Nikkei...10744.03...-103.00...-1.00%. Hang Seng...21330.67...-53.80...-0.30%.

06:42 am : FTSE...5643.43...-1.20...0.00. DAX...6021.71...-2.80...-0.10%.
