I just would like to know where would be a good profit target or place to put a TP

I have a short on the Ozzie my target is around the 200ema of 1.0550 area. I use 4 hr charts so don't expect it to get there in a straight line. If your on shorter timeframe trail your stop and relax.

Thanks for the tip, im feeling that there is a pullback in motion in the ozzie, and how far up do you think this one would go?

I was thinking Ozzie might form a doji/ small bearish candle today, and possibly hold up better than the other pairs. My stop is at break even as thing likes to go up with any excuse. so could bounce upto 1.0675 area, above that I would bail on the short with an hourly close above it and wait for a better shorting opp.

So you're saying the downtrend might end? Im just looking for conservative profit at 1.0594, which would (god willing ) Would make me 56 pips. Do you think it'd reach there?

I respectfully disagree if you may. Im still short on this one. Candlestick formations alone are not enough (in my perspective) as a method to determining a trend. They are part of my toolbox in my system, and any of them alone, wouldn't be as powerful.

Whats your mind on it that made you go long?

I love tweezers.. I mean really love them.. they seem to work more often than not, also there's a quite strong chunk of supp/res dating from April at this level. I think tweezers on an hourly chart and above are well worth trading alone.

I hope all you shorts are scalping and just trying for small gains. This is extremely dangerous, but as long as you have strict stops in place, perhaps you can make a go of it. Anyone short this pair over the longer term has had their account destroyed. Just scroll back in this thread to a year ago, note the traders calling for a big drop, and note the fact that they are all gone now. Until there is a FUNDAMENTAL shift in intrest rate expectations, there is no future in being short this pair, even on a medium term basis. Yes, short term risk aversion can and will cause some moves down, but they will be temporary in nature and the thirst for yeild will make this pair go up again.

Hi FxPetra,

I am going to be happy with at least 30+ pips profit. Does that sound like a reasonable short position? I OP short position at 1.0649. Its floating -12, but in maybe a couple of hours it would give me profit (god willing)

What do you think?

At some point, you may be able to get out and be alright. I don't sclap anymore (after learning the hard way), but even if I did I would NEVER be short this pair.... or NZD/USD for that matter. These high yeild pairs are just stubborn and often defy logic with their resistance to retrace downward. Now E/U or G/U, that is a diffrent story. If you must push a sell button, look to do it on pairs like that. You'll have a much better chance of being successful over 1000+ trades.

If you can really learn that lesson, and it only cost you 41 pips, that is damn cheap education!!! Hope the lesson sticks. So many keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. Good trades to you!!!

... about 30 more minutes to be released ... it's always like this ... before and after that FOMC ... 100-300 pips votality ... therefore be extra caution ...

I have closed all scalpers in the middle ... only left short @ 689 and long @ 626 ...

Big guns are buying and selling against them ... let 'em fight ...

STOPS ... above 700 and below 600 ( relate them to your technicals )... the rest are ... just like me ... having a party in the middle .... gl !
