You should reduce your position size until you are honestly bored with the trade.

I'm telling you: You will be amazed at what you can learn when you are not always on the edge of your seat.

That is a very smart thing TexasforEX just posted about reducing your size until you have no anxiety over the positions you take. It is liberating as it frees you up from emotions clouding your judgment so you can make trades with a clear mind.

Hi mate,

I am waiting to close my longs at .9170-.9200 area and then add to my shorts to average them up.

Interest rates, I believe, won't go up tomorrow mainly because RBA in its entire history has never raised interest rates for 3 consecutive months and it might just hold off to boost Xmas sales, etc.

Rate rise in February is almost certain. the question is whether it'll be a 50 bps or 25 bps.

that's just my view reading local papers.

G'day all
13 out of 14 veconomists interviewed said that the rates are going up by 25 basis points. My personal take is that it shouldnt as I cant see anybody doing well in business. General public out there is hurting. Here is my chart, its a 5 minute tick chart, which shows a limited upward movement. If we didnt have the news 2mrw, I would have gone all out short, but now gotta be cautious. Shahab, I dont think it will make it to 91.75, 9150 is a better bet to go short. I am short from 9075 from friday, and added more today at 9159 this morning.

I had heard it was a near certainty that a rate hike would happen. I was kind of expecting a spike and then sell off if there was a hike. Buy the rumor, sell the fact situation.

The charts show reversal but it can potential go higher for a little while and shake out some weak shorts. My charts show it could even go as high as 9250 area if a hike and retail numbers are especially bullish.

what I see, we are testing a broken long term trend line channel ,I dont see much potential up on this chart, but you never know,
tradoholic, you might be right but from shorting here where is my SL level? the closest is .92 something and .9321, RRR is not good for my entry set up, and the trend is Up in Hr chart, I'll wait to higher level or after a clear change in 1-Hr trend

Hi Puks,
dont rush in closing your longs if it gets to .9200, wait for a trend change in 15 min chart at least,
the concept of this strategy that you use is that: have more positions in dominant trend, so as far as trend is up you need more Long, when it changes to Down trend in 15 min chart (use TSR indi) then close all the Longs and switch to Short positions
