{quote} Do u see a setup for SHORT now
Not really, except that Stevens thinks AUD is really overvalued right now. But central bankers are usually wrong.

This is great! Caught short with my pants down (big position). The retrace seeks weak. I think I should get out and move on but it's so damn hard, especially with a position this big and if in a few hours it drops, I'd be kicking myself for not staying put.
I would expect a range of 9435/70 tomorrow , 9490 would cap this move .a rumour is that RBA would intervene if aussie comes to cross 9500 .
afterall you can hedge your position with another cross or get rid of it and move on .

{quote} That's always the problem with big positions, makes it way more emotional and way harder to cut the loss and move on. It's a disaster.
My plan for huge position and bigger risk is when I get informed of a barrier option so if the price manages to get close to it the first time I place A BIG POSITION with SL just above the option barrier otherwise I trade small lots so I can handle more than 50 or even 100 pips drawbacks .

edit : more than 80% of my positions get in green after some patience .

edit 2 : in fact I had a pending short at 9450 so I am on the short side right now and I can handle it to +9500 level .

I don't hedge and I don't trade highly correlated pairs at the same time. It's either stay put or get out for me. Will make the decision once Europe opens.

Outright intervention doesn't make sense at this level. If we see Aussie going to 1.2 or 1.3 within a short period of time, then sure. Just like the SNB back in 2011. Intervention is almost always done during periods of high volatility, not when nothing is moving that much.

My pockets are pretty deep right now. I've only given back about 50% of my profits for the month. This is a familiar situation for me. Happens a few times a year. I always get out before it hurts too much. Posting here that I'm taking a beating is to ensure that this time around, I don't do something really stupid.

I'm ok with that as long as it does not exceed the previous high of .95040 from July 1st we should still
be dropping to below .9327 at least and quite possibly a whole lot more for wave "C".
You're right let's see what happens.

me too I dont hedge but in order to stay alive in this market you must have flexibility . it helps a lot to have a big account in first place , if not you should deal with the matter in the appropriate way.

I understand but I just don't want to make it more complicated that it already is. I might just cut my position a bit and see how it goes.

I hope I didn't come off as a newbie who is about to lose everything. I'm definitely not in that position. When I say, "big position" it still is less than 1:10 leverage. Unless we see a 1000 pip move, I should live to see another day.

I can't see how aussie can go down when china is printing PMI data in excess of 50. looks headed to 9600.

A close above .95040 and I'll consider going long otherwise I'm sticking with my current view. Lets see what happens.

AUD/NZD is crummaging………. NZD failure at the all time highs could be sign of trend reversal…


Trying to figure out where to short AUD/NZD… I still think we're going higher… probably to 1.11-1.12 this time..

trend reversal?? do you know what is the meaning of trend reversal. usd/jpy from 76 to 105 was a trend reversal. euro from 1.22 to 1.44 was a trend reversal. 0.8700 to 8580 is not a trend reversal

Oh, so you're saying once USD/JPY was at 105 then you could define it as a trend reversal? ahahhahahahah
And I said COULD BE A SIGN of a trend reversal, I didn't say it was one.
