where is the move ? i guess 9250-8950 for next week range, any ideas guys?
If the Dow and S&P can stay propped up and break 10,000 again AUD has the chance for all new highs this year! I kinda see next week being more rangebound, 0.8950-0.9250 like you said. The low could likely be in for now if the DOW doesn't end up selling off today or tomorrow.

The AUD rate statement on Monday should determine our direction though.

plan the attack for the aussie below 9100 just in case, make sure enough margin and control the exposure

1057/1058 is the major trendline on the S&P that was broken yesterday; if we can get back above and close above it, then the risk trade should be back on... meaning long AUD.

I'm keeping a stop on my longs at 0.9020 here (slightly below that dip before the GDP numbers were released).

Wow, AUD just popped!

U mean hedging? I was short NZD and long AUD b/c I can't hedge in my account... ended up closing my NZD short too early but made some decent profits... my AUD longs are in profit too now, as I added twice to my position yesterday.

Kinda feel like being greedy and waiting for all new highs in AUD but I think I need to take some off the table soon and plan to buy back in on dips if we get any.

I just opened a practice account with a UK broker and will likely fund it next week so I can start to hedge the same pair... been working on, backtesting and paper trading a certain hedging strategy lately that I came up with and it's been awesome, even this week that trended hard... it'll work much better in a range bound market but I've got certain rules to limit my risk in trends... can't wait to try it out!

Still holding those longs G Man? Working out great so far! I added more long this morning at 0.9080 (after good GDP numbers) dumped part of my position at 0.9130 and now have the stop set for the rest at 0.9100... sky's the limit for the upside if we can crack that 0.9180.

Yeah, my hedging strategy will differ from yours as it's not based on scalping... but I'm sure we can both learn a lot from eachother by sharing tips and techniques.
