bad spike in the morning

Stop Loss Kills!! LOL....
Market's interpreting the virtually flat CPI as reducing the chances of another interest rate cut in August. Looks like another spike in the AUD, but the China PMI may change things.

Personally, I think it was HFT's working their magic...that spike down nanoseconds after 9:30pm got them the profit they were looking for and then they closed their trades(thus the rally back up).

Of course, there's always the possibility of a rally back up to take out the traders who were short, while waiting for the China data to come out.
china PMI is RED.....lol

But that's what babypips.com teaches lol. Dynamic stop-losses are useful. Not plain vanilla SL at .925.

More times than not that shite will be triggered only to see it go your way.
and then the chinese PMI looks to reverse the gains in the AUD
elek boy, look that's. down right/ 4o pips
