and Patience, im so tempting to play big like the big boys at your work 100s of dollars per pip but i dont think im ready yet as im not that good, well not yet anyway
I don't work at the BoS. I work for a building company and all the blokes that work for the company live hand to mouth (desperate for their cheque every week). We just bank with the BoS - that's why we get the report emailed to us.

I was just saying to a friend that the longer I trade this market, the more respect I have for it. Usually it is the opposite in life isn't it? The more familiar you become with something, the more blaze you become.

I'm game to trade bigger once again but only when I can fully concentrate on the market. Ignorance is bliss when you first start trading. It's not until the market teaches you a lesson and spanks you that you fully appreciate it's power. But when I do start trading bigger again, I'm gonna make sure I have plenty of funds to pump into my account in case Mr Margin Call knocks on my door

lol - all I traded last week was long gold and one long trade on NZD. Gold is wild, reminds me of when I traded GBP/AUD when the market meltdown happened. 100 pips in the blink of an eye. Not sure my heart can take too much of this though

if the price penetrated 8740 and not touching 8747 i'll add more short 'cos that tells me the buyers is out bid by the sellers at this point of time

I don't see it touching 8747. Going to stay in my shorts until I'm in profit. I'm thinking we'll see it go down slowly throughout the day.

if you buy the nzd/usd now at 0.72

0.8820/0.7200=1.2250 aud/nzd synthetec short!

now you look at the aud/kiwi cross, is it time to go long ?

Hi Ben,

Caution: AUD USD made a small divergent higher high 2 hours ago at 0.87539. I got an overbought sign there. However in the wake of the interest rate decision it is supported emotionally for the moment.
At this point, 13:43 GMT, 0.87463 it looks channeling and well supported by Daily and Weekly pivots.

Price seems in positive territory, ready to discount an uptrend...in the coming days. The week ahead could see it above 0.88, if it crosses the 0.8787 level (strong resistance), and touch the 0.8834 weekly R2.

Don't know your entry point nor your SL.
It has upside potential.
Look what is better for your MM.

Regards.
Claudio
