Looks like another .8700 test very soon. Dow dropping nice now; after it went red it pulled back up and then bounced off of yesterdays closing price, which is now acting as resistance.

thanks Thadakman as i mentioned early 8680 is critical, well i just can hope she break or atleast penetrate it as a bear signal

I think to be safe I'm gonna dump half my position (all shorted in the mid 0.8700's) at 0.8700 flat and hold the other half for a bigger move... I'll just plan to short more mid 0.8700's again and then 0.8800 if need be and keep doing that until it finally breaks down... just hoping we can go 0.8500 before 0.9000... I do think we see 0.900s later on the next leg up after the market finally pulls back (bringing AUD under 0.8000 first), that's when I'll finally go long.

Dows testing that resistance again (yesterday's close); this is such a resilient beast! It just does not want to stay down.

indicisive on both part but if the sellers has more fat , then the skinny one can not hold the weight anylonger or the other way around, bad analogy

Going AUD/Dollar short mixed in with Kiwi/Dollar longs sounds like a great strategy, timing it well AND weaving in and out of both could really add some nice pips to the account; are you scaling in and out when you do that or do you just like to put all units in and out on a certain price?

thats what i do but use dollar value not unit value,

my observations: when aud/usd down eur/aud up! now watch the price of eur/usd

That's my dream too! I got into trading about 18 months ago when the stock market started collapsing and I started with Stocks and Options but have found that I really enjoy Forex more and have been concentrating on that fully now.

Anyway, good luck to both of us in being able to trade full-time in the future!

thats good staying with the plan but you can also use another alternative(locking the gain) by long kiwi/dollar, also you can calculate the value of aud/nzd cross synthetic short, then you may attack the cross aka snowballing the profit and hedge at the same time

say you short aud/usd at 0.8740 and long kiwi at 0.7100

0.8740/0.7100=1.2309 aud/nzd short synthetic. what is the price right now for the aud/nzd ? you can long or buy depend on your style but if you are agressive why not attack with bigger size when chart formation tell it so

Ben10, I think the ending diagonal is gonna play out, it seems to me major mid-term top at .8777, a very cute head & shoulder reversal pattern at AUDUSD 1hr chart is clear,also Gold is an ending daigonal at 4hr, I already went short that one too,should be abour 980 till tomorrow close or next week (Mon/Tue) , RRR of the AUDUSD short is great SL(55 pips) TP( around 700 pips) ,what do you think?

Looks like a double bottom was put in for the day on the AUD (just below 0.8700); tomorrow kinda scares me with the quadruple witching... nevertheless, I'm gonna stick with my plan and add shorts at 0.8750 and 0.8800 (this could easily break tomorrow).

Anyone have any predictions on price tomorrow? 0.8800 break or 0.8600 test seems likely to me.
