went short myself too @ 8167. may add more if it goes up depending.

good luck.
Do you have any set target bravado....I tried to short the aud pair earlier near he 8105 mark and have had a bit of hectic run not a major loss but...was trying to fight the trend I guess...I too like steve have a trade short @169 with a stop at 210...But the way the aussie has been flying I just have not seen a good retracement...which I think is due and should happen in this week.....

Best of luck

Hi Rav & bravado,

Yup, been looking to short AUDUSD for a few days now and it's been refusing to budge - looks ripe for a fall but doesn't want to play ball lol.

Let's see this time.....

Kind Regards
Steve

i don't have a set target. unless some of the news that are being released this week regarding this pair has unexpected data/surprise(aussie positive), this pair is ready to dive.

this is an early entry. meaning there is still room left for this pair to head up or it could be a good entry point before indication of bearishness.

fibs indicate projected targets as (fib retract .7685->.8206) 23.6%=.8086 and 38.2%=.8008.

I agree but the damn thing just doesnt wanna fall right now may be one more visit to the 200's....

How have you done this month mate...
I have been reading your journal very closely and all I can say is I am really impressed with the consistency...
Do you trade full time or is this just a testing phase of your trading if you dont mind me asking....

Thanks
Rav

Also bravado...I thank you for your prompt reply......I understand where you are coming from on your fibs with regards to targets....

I work full time & just trade the dailys - it's my first live account and I'm doing OK - in profit anyway

Just testing my strategies at this stage but I'm happy with the results so far.

Kind regards

Well, my NZDUSD long was stopped out as expected for minus 24 pips.

On the upside, GU short from 1.9706 has just passed 100 pips so stop brought to break even for now. Should be able to lock in some pips later.

April pips: -135
Cumulative: +1061

OK, it's that time of day again and 4 trades remain........

AUSUSD short from 0.8160 (s/l 0.8185 guarantees minus 25 pips)
USDJPY long from 118.75 (s/l 119.06 guarantees plus 31 pips)
GBPUSD short from 1.9706 (s/l 1.9669 guarantees plus 37 pips)
GBPJPY short from 233.92 (s/l 234.74 guarantees minus 82 pips)

New trade is NZDUSD short - I know there is NZ news tonight so it'll either be a very short trade or a stroke of genius lol. Like AUDUSD, it's been looking toppy for a few days but is being stubborn.

NZDUSD short from 0.7206 (s/l 0.7251 guarantees minus 45 pips)

I also have a countertrend trade running on GBPCHF which is another set of tests I'm doing alongside my normal method. Now, these trades could run for days, weeks or even months, especially those following the long term trend. Rather than opening up a new journal, I think it's best not to mention these to avoid confusion.

This first trade is looking like a bit of a disaster anyhow lol but I'm determined to look at this other method as well to increase my knowledge.

Kind Regards
Steve

Hey Steve

I am so sorry about your stop on GBP/USD... I tried as hard as I could to hold price down... I huffed and I puffed... price just would not stay down... until it was too late !!! Damm those reports that always come when you least expect it !!

I still say heading down towards 1.9550 in the next couple of days...

My condolences ( or however oyu spell it !!! )

Hehe,

No problem, managed to grab a few pips anyhow.

So, an unusual Asian session where 4 out of 5 trades stopped out...

GU short from 1.9706 - plus 37 pips
UJ long from 118.75 - plus 31 pips
AU short from 0.8160 - minus 25 pips
NU short from 0.7206 - minus 45 pips

Still haven't had a single win on the Aussie or Kiwi - that'll teach me for changing lol.

April pips: -137
Cumulative: +1059

Kind Regards

I currently have 2 positions open testing my other strategy....

GBPCHF short from 2.4007, a countertrend trade opened yesterday & explained in previous posts.
USDCAD long from 1.1525 (initial s/l 1.1480) - bounced off long term support dating back to Sept '06.

I'm not going to be including these trades in my actual results but I'll be trading these alongside my normal method. Some of these trades may last for months with positions being added as the price bounces off long term support or resistance lines. Stop losses will be placed 20 pips below a support line or 20 pips above a resistance line and moved daily.

Kind Regards
Steve

USDCAD stopped out for minus 45 pips on the trend trade - you know I said these trades may last days, weeks or even months? Well this one lasted less than 24 hours - I'm getting a bit peeved with the market lol but don't we all at times

Unbelievable wasn't it?

Looks like we'll have 3 English teams in the last 4 - lucky for us one of them isn't Portsmouth lol

Nearly time to put on those new trades - big moves today so big initial stop losses - eek.

Anyhow that GBPCHF trade is now plus 6 so can't complain lol..
