with a pivot of .9155 it can go either way, taking into consideration the major news everyone is going to dump their shares so as not to get caught going in the wrong direction..if I pick up 25 pips....life is good

yep..they are standard, my average return is around $3k per day...risky yes, but the adrenaline rush is unbelievable
Wow. $400 per pip. I freaked out trading $50.00 per pip. I'm such a woose. How long have you been trading if you don't mind me asking.

There has been some good contributions to this thread recently so I am happy to share my thoughts for potential playouts, especially as I plan on trading AUD/USD much more intensively next year. Bull bias in green, bear bias in red. Keep in mind monthly pivot zone level (as well as weekly engulf close), fibs and other S/R levels from prior chart.
thank and i copy how you draw the fib line ( last week high and low) and i put my compression theory on it this whats look like as the fib line become a guide to scale the trades, i'll trade the price at 9177, 9133 and 9089 but from this multiple MA and price action seems like she want to sail north IMO!

looking in to my crystal ball i'd say rba will surprise today by not raising rates.

if they raise rates, price will drop, close the gap and then rise. if they hold it will rise and then drop busting through the gap.

with crazed and depraved analysis like this, its a good job i'm not putting money where my mouth is

i started losing $ in 2005, learned a great deal about this market and take chances accordingly, I use a manual calculation I get overwhelmed with the charts ..to many of them so I use a high low straddle , I take the high of the wave subtract the low divide by 2 for 50% mark and trade the direction of the trend , when its close to 50% retracement I dump what I have then enter for 1 and hedge either direction

I am not trying to disrespect in anyway but anyone trading 40 lots would not state it in a chat room and say that it is the adrenaline rush they are after. Also you are looking to make 3k but you are not risking any less than 4k if you are really trading forex for anytime at all. The only reason that i post this is not to throw mud in anyones face but for the benefit of new traders. Remember 95% of all traders blow up there account in the first 3-6 months.

Hi Mckal41,

im interested in your way of trade (stradle). so... base on last week price action the hihg is 9320 minus the low of 8945 = 375 pips/2 = 187.5 pips where you put the trade long and the short and base on last week price action we are in down move and pullback so far

You must have a strong heart and fantastic psychological stamina. I think I need a lot of work on the psychological aspect. I don't mind spreading the risk i.e. I could handle 5 different trades at $10.00 per pip all right but I freaked out when I put $50.00 per pip on one trade and to actually put the sum of money that you trade on one trade, I don't think I'll ever reach that level ....

as mentioned I use manual calculations generally trade 1 direction, when hedging I wait for 50 pip movement and add exponetially e.g 1 at 50 pips 2 at 100 pips 3 at 150 and so on, when the trade turns i will add up to 40 standard wherever it is, then take a short ride and get off the bus
