I have had my first long term euro position at 3040 and cable at higher on 5650.. not the best price i am sure.

will also be wanting to get on audusd 0.9 or lower.
Didn't get in until open so in at 3060, also long eurcad at 3435.

Hi guys,

I don't have any trades on EUR/AUD or EUR/NZD at the moment as I personally don't see much of a trend there but I am long EUR/USD and EUR/CAD so if it's European (supposed) recovery that is driving the trend you should do ok!

Regards,

Dan

i am missing out on getting in on euro. i nearly placed an entry at 3150 and then had second thoughts thinking it was too near the top and look where it is now.

also waiting for some retracement on cable for another entry.

Dan,

Where would you be looking to add again to your long EURO/USD trade?

As this Friday is NFP, what do you do with this trend trade re SL?

Many thanks - Regards, JoelD

Hi JoelD,

NFP doesn't really effect my long term positions. I wouldn't trade too close to the announcement but generally it doesn't make too much difference to me.

With regards to adding to my trade... it would depend on how far the EU moves before retracing - I still use the basics, trendlines, 50% level, support and resistance to make the decision. I think I would like to see price above 1.33 before adding though.

Regards,

Dan

Dan,

Many thanks for your reply, I reckon the EURO will probably start ranging now until after NFP.

All the best - JoelD

will look to board the eurcad express around 3450 if it comes there, eurusd, 3150 or 3100 and cable i dont know.. i hope it retraces to 5800 but maybe today's retracement was all that was it !

i hope folks are noticing that audusd is also repeating its bull run of last year..

I am interested in going long audusd if it pulls back to 0900 if not will see if price is rejected from 9400 again for a possible short.

Hi,

The Euro is currently sitting on some pretty heavy S/R in the 1.3250/1.3300 area so a period of consolidation would not be too much of a surprise!

It'll be interesting to see what happens when AU gets back up to the 0.9300 area... I wonder if it's got enough steam to break through this time!?!
