yeah, it's kinda scary trading.

Interesting the pound and aussie are rising against the USD , and the CAD is getting weaker, which is good news for me. Been holding it a few days now.

On a clear break of .9330 (15M candle close above), I will enter long AUD with 1st TP at .9406 and second tp at .9500.

If the entry doesn't get filled so be it but I WILL NEVER SHORT AUD.

You can short everything else but AUD.
come on.... shorting aud was good a year ago. eur/aud went from 1.61 to 2.10
5,000 pips , and never short aud? ok!
oh, i forgot, it was good this year too, from .93 to .88 and .86, trend is changing man. EMA's are beginning to point down. You think forever and ever AUD going up? ok....

Fitch just cut Greece's outlook to negative. I guess that was the spike down but I don't have a gap. The Vix is still at 16.20. It seems everybody is expecting indice downside ..... lots of options (or whatever it is) being bought for a spike to happen in Vix.

to my observation CAD moves before AUD, it means A/U will come down finally

I am not arguing but shorting that pair has never worked for me. consider me superstitious or whatever but I will short other pairs. there are plenty of pairs out there in the market.

Fundamentally we are much stronger than EZ, UK and US so why short? I'll buy dips.

thanx for the info, I'm trying to close all in green and call it a week, it has been a wonderful week (over 1000 pips in my account including scalping) so I don't like to finish with a disaster

what changed fundamentally from 1995 to now? just curious. the reason aud gained past seven years was cause of the usd. if a smaller currency does well against the usd, they tend to do better than other currencies also, because when aud/usd changes 100 pips it changes a bigger % than a 100 pip move with a less %..

eur/aud was 1.44 in 1997, and 2.08 in 1998, and 1.60 in 2007, and 2.08 in 2008, and 1.44 in 2010....

currencies go up and down, they aren't like stocks, where they go in 1 direction for 100 years....

I understand your point, I had took long A/U before as you know, but you need to know where to short where to long, and keep RRR in place , shorting on a R and taking long at a S is usually safe if you play with the rules

Agree -

Right at this point in time, and until such time Fed is confident in US recovery, I am bullish in AUD.

If china story ends, bubble bursts, i will become bearish on AUD but that aint gonna happen overnight and so my current bias remains valid.

cheers

Yeah, it's messy today. CAD employment data threw a spanner in the works. It's just the timing of when this correction will take place. I'm wary at these levels although I have been scalping A/J long, but with Vix at 16, I'll be ready to change my bias at a moment's notice.
