Saxon, be careful. I have this funny feeling that A/U is going up for the rest of the week. My H4 is getting ready for a 21/35 crossover... H1 is ready for a 50/62 crossover and M15 could have a nice 150/200 crossover. Plus we are above Daily PP and Weekly PP is right above us.
Oh so tempting though. If it does break UTL ~8975 is my next friction

It's still Wednesday here in the States... I grabbed a few this morning and 15 during this afternoon. I swore I wasn't going to trade today but my addiction got the better of me. Waiting now for the AUD news at 9:30pm est.

Can you give us any idea on what the Employment news is going to be? Good or Bad? Should we be selling or buying A/U?

Good job on the 180 pips though! I hope it was $100/pip!
I forgot to say Marc, 50 of those pips were while I was sleeping.

Australian employment data: Published on Thursday at 1:30 GMT. After another rate hike, the sixth since the crisis, employment figures will probably justify this. Australia gained almost 20,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate remained at 5.3%. Both figures are expected to improve.

I agree with Amy on A/U.
This chart shows my prediction... Just that, prediction. You'll have to use your imagination with the pink 150ema. Price will come back down to hit the top of it before continuing higher.

50 while you were asleep! You'll have to teach us a thing or two before you retire!

I'm with your second green arrow, maybe a little retrace before breaking. Still, I probably wont enter until the data.

I placed 2 sellstops below the price before I went to bed.
One at 30 pips and one at 20 pips, they were hit before I got up this morning.

Hmm, I can't sleep if I have a trade open or a pending order. My psyche forces me to close all trades before hitting the sack. You have an advantage over me for sure!

No worries, any positions I am taking today are in no way Long-Term. For example, I took the short on the UTL. Bagged 8 pips, am already out now. I just wanted to get some of the retrace before the data.

Are you betting before the release? I'm guessing data will be flat or positive. I'm not getting in till after the release though. Good luck to us

I hate when brokers widen the spread before big movers. Are there any FCMs out there with fixed spreads? If not, we should all start one.

Check out Fxsolutions, although I am not sure if you can call them low spreads. Spreads for Aussie is 4, Euro is 3, Yen is 3, Cable is 5 and the Guppy is 9pips.

I don't think they are low by any means but like you, I don't like brokers who widen their spreads during newstime.

No? Hmm, I'm not a big news trader so maybe I should let it come back to a price I'm willing to pay right now.
