On A/U,
H4 is showing more gains due to rising Stochs but... I won't be buying until PA has moved above the 50sma on H1 and 200sma on M15.

Best opportunity to buy would be a cross of the 50sma and 62ema on H1 and cross of 150ema and 200sma on M15 with a retest of the 150ema on M15. Hope that makes sense. If not just ask me to explain further.

Does anyone have any good strategies to play the RBA announcement tonight? If so, would you mind sharing? Straddles/Strangles and the such...

Hey guys. I really didn't like the chop today. The u/j would have been a big time loser if you had ignored the weekly and went short. The previous lower high didn't mean much but you never know...

Kudos to Saxon for his long u/j trade.

Will be looking at horly trades w/fibs pre NY session.

Good trading all and see you soon!!

Nothing more than running a fib on the move and watching candles. I'm sure there are some good news traders here, maybe someone will shine a light on it.

Hey there Marc,

Trading the news is a special discipline in that 'sports' from what I learnt so far...
Tried many setups to take some pips out of the news. but didn't find the holy grail..or at least something that I would recommend.

But sure would be interesting if some of you got some strategies.

Some interesting articles I read on the current decision
(But didn't make me wantinf to trade the news now)

1. by Kathy Lien
http://www.fx360.com/commentary/kath...-decision.aspx

--> Didn't think of that Scenario2 before.

2. The guys from DailyFx point out their strategy for the event
http://www.dailyfx.com/forex/fundame...erve_Bank.html

--> "...we will need to see a green, five-minute candle to generate a buy entry on two-lots of AUD/USD..."


Anyway...I will stay flat myself during the announcement (as i will be asleepat that time ) if we see a big move there sure will be retracements to get on board.

Good luck to you!

Thanks Mike

Sorry I wasn't on today. Month-End Client Reporting and what not. I will be up and running again tonight or early NY session for the next investment round.

Not patient enough. Looks bottoming out now though. At least more likely than yesterday. My bad.

Boring AUD data, wanted something to move us. I like it when forecasts are wrong, not today though. Oh well. I'm not feeling like trading London, will be back on in a bit to start and close out NY day.

Yep, I will be at the desk all NY day starting at 7 EST. I got to start a new month's pool performance and I want to get a few hours of sleep in before I start the stretch How did last month treat you? Lots of green pips I hope . I finished off with a nice UJ trade and now am on a clean slate.

Maybe this will be Millionaire May! I'm watching N/U for a short trade but it's not there yet. Now that we have one heck of a wick on the M15 A/U candle I'm lost. Amy sees it going to 9140 this week. Probably right but I can't bring myself to taking a trade.

Maybe May will be the month that everyone sells equities and leaves! Who knows.

See you in the morning.

EURO tearing apart. Now just a little more push to fade those stops and hopefully we would see some more movement.

I just bought eur/cad at 1.3333, a pair to check out - this goes well with my long eur/aud and short aud/usd positions.
