I had it yesterday and expected a bit more out of it overnight.

Good luck my friend

I may long euro versus the dollar later on, but I find shorting the aud to be an expensive trade to carry

Yes it is an expensive one to carry and hence thats why people are buying it for the yield.
Its only a matter of time before it loses its shine as bad economic data continues.
As long as you are getting favourable mkt movement then the carry trade doesnt matter.

Ain't that the truth. Unless she drops like a ton of bricks (ala mid 2008).

Monthly bar looks shifty to me. Break above 9850 could not hold. Any longs will be as tight as a nuns nasty.

The question remains.. Is is it all going to go tits up on the Aussie?
Seems a protecting buyer at 9630.. when will that expire?
Surely its going to be a mad rush for the escape door once thats pulled..

You said 9388 in a couple of weeks... Do you maintain that target?

The GBP just got smashed and the EUR is looky toppy, I wonder if the AUD will reflect this?

your "see I told you so" post seems to show that you needed this win in so to massage your ego in public maybe to balance off the loss in confidence suffered from being down on your original balance of your trading account or not being profitable..

In any case whether u are or not isnt the the point.. but I like reading the audusd thread and Id like to keep the content of the thread about the audusd or questions about whats actually happening not.. a thread to massage the egos of failed at the most semi profitabletraders..

thanks

Agreed. Anyone can make a blind call, and kudos to him if it was all part of his trading plan. An 'I told you so' is not useful to anyone and just makes one look like an ass.

I do, however, wish Aussie would pick a direction. I'm currently short .96435. SL @.9694. Price needs to get below .9630; seems like it is being well protecetd for whatever reason, and I don't see the reason the chart... if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be swell.

I always seem to enter positions on this pair when it decides it wants to consolidate...

heres what I have I think well see some risk app come back through december and jan.. but I think that this trend is maturing out and the risk of buying at these prices is causing it to breakdown in stability.. so I would expect short term failure soon in this long term trend .. but im buying and trade stacking with very small positions and spreading some risk
