I've had very frightening drawdowns on the EUR/AUD. It does move fast and wide.

Put it on my 'avoid' list until I get to know it a bit better.

Largest drawdown I ever allowed was on EUR/AUD.
Trades inversely to a couple pairs, but has wild spikes.
You need stops as big as your head.

you are right my friend ...

NO to SL ... and the spread of 10 pips is a killer ... and I've never traded this one before ...

on a positive note so far i have the perfect entry at 16027 ...
You should get an account with Oanda. Spread is 3.4 pips at the moment. Don't know what the average spread is on it.

Since it's Friday the 13th I'm going for gold for a gamble today. Got a few positions in high $1,104. If you don't hear from me again, you'll know I've had a heart attack

Trade safe everybody ....

Hi Patience,
We are at the same boat, I just went long Gold at $1,104 , I think 1,097 should hold, if not I had 2 Sell Stop Order below 1097 to hedge the trade

Hey Forgot to say that I was long. Not sure if it was obvious from my post but you seemed to know which way I was trading.

I'm a believer, I'm a believer Sometimes I wonder if I have been brainwashed by all the stuff I read about gold.

Just read this: "A particularly astute London analyst points out this morning that open interest in the $1,200 December call has risen substantially since late September. There is the view that such a development has a magnetic effect."

Let's see if this particularly astute London analyst is right! For the sake of my account, I hope he is. Good trades to you.

E/A has been on my "Avoid" list for over 2 years... thats where it will stay.
I would rather play with the "Beast" ( gbp/jpy ) all day than go near E/A.

BTW... nice handle.

Here is what I am looking at on aud/usd.

15 Min TF. I will short on a close of a nice candle ( no doji's, Morning Stars, Shooting Stars, or Ringo Stars ) below my trend line. TP will be the 800 sma
( dashed black line near bottom of chart).
Stop loss will go above the most recent high at time of entry. If R/R is not good, then I will pass.

Hi, i hope it's ok posting this here since it's an aud cross. I have been long aud/jpy for a few days now. At the moment it's started to range. Has anyone else entered long on this pair?

I'm half-inclined to exit and re-enter after a break-out occurs. Any opinions on this?

Cheers!

9280 seems to be a strong resistance. It has tried to break it three times but cant get passed. Once over that then its the pivot at 9276 and then after hooray.....on the upside we have 9290, 9300 and 9310. Which i cant see it getting through with current volumes. ( I am just saying this because I am short on this pair and also because the volume chart is on the lower scale.)
