looks like 50 resistance held up for now.
Yep, but remember AJ moves along with the Dow so we might see a break with more positive equities sentiment. Watching for a break of 99.54 on the 1hr. If that busts then 101 is definitely happening today

Getting another head of steam...

this is crazy.

My EURAUD is certainly in the red, however euro strength propping it up for now. If EURO continues towards 1.50 I should be okay, unless AUDUSD comes along for the ride to .95ish.

This sucks, but what can I do...this trade was profitable in the first 15 mins of holding it, now I am crawling out of the basement...again.

EURAUD needs to get over 1.60...it can't get a break. AUDUSD did just hit trendline resistant with a spike on the M15 though. Keep hope alive.

If AUDUSD rolls over this trade could work out, big time.

The Aussie is at somewhat of a crossroads. Technically it could go 80 pips either way from here. Basically, I'll keep it simple and look to go contra whichever way it moves. Only if it goes flat and consolidates again for the rest of the trading day will I void this strategy.

I took much of my profit around 9225/8015 FWIW

Nice trade bro.

Rule I broke when took this position, #1 Are there any visitors or distractions for the day.

(Historically I found that whenever people were visiting us, I always made hasty costly trades - even with equities. I missed a 200K once because my father-in-law was over my shoulder and I decided to "take profit" to look like a bigshot. Within a couple weeks the stock skyrockets and my 5000 shares instead of being worth 40K could have been worth 240K. It took me years to get over that. On the other hand, at taht point in my life, that kind of money might have killed me.)

Last friday, the kids were home from school, I closed my EURUSD long for profit, and looked another position, EURAUD. It was looking good, but was to be a short term trade. I got distracted doing soethign for the kids came back to find I missed the spike, and you know the rest of the story...

anyway, 80 pips down should be enough to get me in the black...

have a great day.

Thanks Ticker,

Sounds like you need a good locksmith and go to "blackout" trading. :::

That's hilarious!

I like the added risk of multitasking...I guess. Shooting from the hip.

The goose is getting grounded today. Good R/R trade with oil strong and price sitting right below nice resistance. 50% of move from 1.0377 - .9870 comes in at 1.0124 and has held since the end of Jan08. Tight stops on this one.

I may have missed my bounce to get out with minimal loss...I was so close to pulling the trigger. At support right now, here's to EurAud strength. *gulp*

A test of .91 with EURUSD bouncing to 1.48+ would put me in the clear, easily. H4 makes it looks possible.

AJ going to test the 99.50 resistance yet again for the 4th time on the 4hr chart. If that breaks perhaps a 101 is on the offer.

I think the 200-day SMA is going to play a pivotal role. Ever since that huge gap down in Oct, AJ has tried numerous times to reclaim the 200-day and reversed. A breakout above puts the all-time high back in the lineup.

Good call@KGB. Equities are being dampened by Oil's 100 barrier attack so we might have to wait till Asia. I'm still holding a long so it's no biggie. Lecture time.

If Buying AUDUSD right now, depending on your source currency (for this argument we will use dollars).

7%-3% return, net 4%.

If you buy AUDUSD today @.9206, how much of a drop would nullify the return on the rollover rates.

.9206 * .96 (4% decrease) = .8837

Keep in might this excludes any leverage and assume all cash.

After the seemingly contradictory comments by Governor Edey, the second half might be slow (which raises the question why raise interest rates if forecast for slowing/flattening is ahead, it takes that long for the rates to sink in), you have to wonder why they raised and are so blatantly hawkish.

With this potential risk scenerio, do you buy AUD bonds at the top? Or do you sell at the top and buy other countries less over inflated fixed income and interest yielding vehicles while they are weak?

As someone has mentioned though, timing is everything, so I don't mean to make assumptions, justify or rationalize, just pointing out something.

After I saw this resistance fall, I did a S & R and hold a long from 1.014. Most times when I see a definite line of support/resistance, which is also at least a 4HR fibo fall I'll trade it. I'm in the green, but really surprised the goose is tanking with oil knocking on $100. I hate to close out a breakout so soon but I keep thinking crude $100 crude $100.

Loonie analysis welcome.

Kiwi is getting dangerously close to breaking out of it's channel. Today's daily close will be a clue towards determining breakout status or not. A daily pin, with a high around 8020/8040 and a close below 8000 would leave the door cracked for a return to the range.


Barring a miracle close kiwi is going to have a big ole daily pin. This potential top would fall within the slope of the ascending upper trendline of the channel. Can't help but be thinking about a potential reversal.

SOld the EURAUD long at 1.6020 for a hefty loss, but beats selling for a HUGE loss that might be coming down the pipe.

I'll look to buy back at 1.56 maybe.

Back to the grind.

I was $100 away from break even for the year after taking a 30% loss earlier in the year on a GBPUSD long. This loss pales in comparison at $350, so $450 to grind back to even for the year.

Damn, it's like whenever i get one of my "big schemes" I shold do the opposite. For the record, last year I did over 400% on my equity, so I am not stupid, just having a run of hard luck.

Ack!
