Why is there such an importance on the price of gold and its effect on the AUD:USD pair, as in only short when gold price heads south??

Much appreciated.
AUD is a commodity currency, like CAD. Australia is a vast continent with large mineral reserves. (Google commodity currency). When the gold price rises it becomes economically viable to mine gold even when returns are not substantial, as is the case in most gold mines nowadays.

Additionally, the knock on effect is more employment in the industries which surround mining and other production. This is good for a currency.

Meantime the sentiment for the US dollar is weak and RBA have raised interest rates. Double and triple whammy for the pair AUD/USD

.9120 small Sell, SL at .9130
TP - I'll see PA at .9100 if it get there
This new high is probably speculation of quarter-releases (Intel - today, and tommorow some banks)

I'm short at 9101, however part of an average out scheme attempting to minimize the damage.

I have learnt the hard way not to average out. Always exit positions and re enter. I am going long from 90.07, pre emptive move as the trend line is up. I think so far as gold is holding up AU$ will do the same...

Mmm. Shorting this pair. It might work if I was really nifty. But I think I'll go and put the kettle on and have a cup of tea. Tomorrow it might go up again and bother one of my buy stops. I still have all my fingernails after all and I don't need tranqulizers. I might move my S/L up to .8900 later tomorrow as well. You guys should post in the Members Section, in the Comedy Club.

I think you can look at "Actionforex.com" ,then go to "Action Insight" and choose the "AUDUSD technical outlook"

http://www.actionforex.com/action-in...2009101398198/

for gold you can look at "Oilngold.com" then go to "ONG focus" then you can choose the "Market Insight / or Technical Analysis" whichever you prefere,

If one was using the stochastic and rsi to scalp the aud:usd on the 5 min chart what are common settings?

EG: RSI on 8 and stock 14,3,3

I don't understand how to set the numbers on certain signals when changing between timeframes?

I think you if you look at Trading Systems forums you will save time and money, read the THV system, Sonic.R system, they are good scalping system for 1-5 min chart, dont try something new on you Real Account, try it first at a Demo Account

Interesting read about possible AUD parity with USD.

http://www.cnbc.com/id/33287309/

Long story short, not likely... But, the break above 0.89 set the upside target towards 0.95 by Christmas with a possible spike as high as 0.97; on the downside, 0.8400 looks to be the lowest support level... keep in mind what happened last time AUD almost went parity with USD though, it completely collapsed!

This article is from Daryl Guppy by the way; he's been pretty "on" with his chart analysis in the past.
