AS we know AUD Related to gold,so

Gold? Yellow, glittering, precious gold?...
This yellow slave
Will knit and break religions, bless th’ accursed,
Make the hoar leprosy adored, place thieves,
And give them title, knee and approbation
With senators on the bench.

I still don't get the Yen though. .
hey patience..... hundreds of trillions , and growing everyday, in carry trades..... japan's fight with deflation via negative interest rate has created the ultimate currency time bomb.....

just let them talk of raising interest rates and it will be the 1998 short squezzzzzeeee all over again.....

then clouds can short from the stratosphere......

the US dollar is almost a carry trade instrument...... however, unlike the jpy, it really will raise rates...... h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

Clouds, I see what you are saying...but without the support of the dxy, s&p and gold charts we (the bears) have a problem. my 4hr is showing an ability to be short term bearish, maybe 4-6hrs worth of it before going up. the only thing saving us right now is the 35/40sma on the daily.

In 1997 u could get 10 acres for 15k,now it's like 75k-100k. 100 acres 1.5Mil or something now, depends on area of course. This area was hit hard by inflationary real estate.

check this out. my op is to wait to go short on aud/usd until the dxy hits the 40ma on the daily.

Note to Clouds: this is a "short term" of about 1 month scope outlook.

Note to all: but... I would be very cautious about a heavy bull trap deliberately being built (last friday and today PA showed me a series of very precise and well calculated moves). Until this week, everyone and his dog was bearish (even myself!). Now the sentiment seems to be slowly turning... and as soon as everyone and his dog starts wondering and moves to the bullish side, wham! That's the exact moment when "they" will unload and unwind the carry...

So, for a balanced view and outlook, here's the "other side of the coin":

Just be aware of WHEN and WHERE. And be flexible.
A bias can become an ugly spouse (don't marry your positions).

A question to Clouds:
It is obvious to me now that you are a long-term position trader.
What would be the maximum drawdown (in % or in pips, as you prefer) that you'd allow when holding to your trades? (this also would include the fluctuations back). Thanks!
