Alas, I switched over to index futures ever since cross rate spreads widened post-Lehman. I'm up, but could've been doing gravy had I stayed short the carry trade. Were you short A/J over the weekend? If so, congrats!

This may be a bit risky, but I'm going to try to long aud/usd. I have a few reasons that are kind of disorganized, but I'll toss em' out there. For one, I see a hammer on the 4 hr. Second reason is that whenever AUS has a rate decision and a rate cut is what people are expecting, it never just falls straight down.. it always shoots up for whatever reason (stop loss hunting?) and then heads down. Or, if not - it just heads up. Either way, I hope to make a few pips on the way maybe with a stop a little over 50 pips down.

We'll see how it goes.

I will bet you if they cut by anything but 50 it will jump at least a bit.

So how did it go? I can see how you could have taken 50-100 pips. Did you?

280 pip swing in 30 mins , these people are messing with our heads. Tripple bottom on 4 Hr. Petrol will go up 20cents a litre. Time to start building longs again.(IMHO)

Can't help but shake the feeling the RBA leaked its intentions early to some inside players. Aussie falls an unprecedented 9.4% in a single day on a run-of-the-mill (lately) market decline, then moves higher following a "surprise" 100bp rate cut? Suspicious..

Hit my s/l rather than my t/p =-/
That was disappointing. Come home to find it practically in the same place where I left it.

I just had my entire account (what was left of it, anyway) wiped out on Aussie's 600 pip drop yesterday... a day after my b-day, to boot.

I don't freakin' get the markets anymore; they cut by 100% more than the forecast, and AU rallies. Is there anything left in this world that's tradeable based on common sense? I've tried everything - gold, corn... there's nothing safe left to buy and hold. Maybe I should go with online poker.

No. I thought 6 mini-lots wouldn't kill me before I went to bed as I was only down some 20-30 pips at the time and it looked like it was flattening out... the thing imploded just as the markets opened Monday morning. Well, I'm gonna lick my wounds and take stock... and maybe come back some other day.

It's a crazy pair. there was a time I watched EURUSD, AUDUSD and EURAUD and traded the three. It was the best of times and the worst of times.

I remember seeing it at 1.6XX not long ago thinking I need to go long that pair, knowing it's history...can't believe how high it has gotten. I would think eventually AUD will reclaim some ground. Hard to say though, just seems to hgo higher and higher.

I dont think its actively traded as a pair per se.
AUD/JPY AUD/NZD are the main crosses where you will find natural interest at levels.
Against EUR you wont see the natural interest.
Aust does very little with Europe in trade relations unlike Japan and NZ.

Australia is looking good compared to rest of world. Proximity to major markets of Inida and China will play big role in keeping them buoyed in the near and medium term, IMO.
