Well monthly TA wrap up. Confirmed swing low in the monthly with confirmed LH (1.457x) and breached LL (1.383x low) in a flat bar inside of the range (April bar).

Without a break to LL in monthly, fading the extremes of the range is like alway in a range the best option r:r (1.480x and 1.415x). So nothing tradable or useful in that chart for now until at least a break of last bar high and low and test one of the extremes....

For those who like and use channels, with this last swing low finally there is something to draw and the channel down looks very appropriate for the horizontal levels in play.

AUD/USD: Looking for an hourly close below the rising trendline to continue shorts for further downside and to potentially realize a double top. RSI divergence is helping out a bit...
Definitely an interesting chart. Setup is all there...just need trigger.

Aussie compressing into minor demand turned supply. Looking for .0720'ish.

Edit, took a cheeky short @ .0716 on the Aussie. This is a H4 / Daily chart play, compression, should drop us back a bit. Compression may not be finished to the topside as well, plan has built in expectations for price to possibility visit 7720. Beyond that, it's void. Target #1 H4 (.06400), Target #2 Daily (.0527), Target #3 Daily (.0376).
Just need buyers to GTFO right now. lol Always a dangerous game playing against the carry traders.

Triple interest? What the hell is that shite? On all br0kers, or just yours? I've never noticed that before.

Yeah... all brokers. Part of the T+2 trade closing process. It handles taking care of interest on Saturday & Sunday. Stupid, as you would think it would do it on open on Sunday... but alas...

Never carried a position on the rollover on Wed? You will probably find the Aud / * pairs have a harder time falling on Wednesdays because of this... people buy into a position just for the interest then close it back out with a few pips + interest.

Sure...long-term stuff. Occasionally have a position through the roll, too...not very often, though.

Guess I should pay more attention to my swaps, but usually isn't a deciding factor in +/-VE.

Yep. currently my broker is -1.680 pips on the rollover... so I can expect to have a lovely swap fee of about 5 pips + 2.8 spread on the intial entry... not that big of a deal... I guess, but those start to add up.

I never like to have aussie shorts longer then a few days because of this.

I dig the sliding 12 month. Been making any plays from there?

Yea, had no idea about this and i've been trading the aussie for 3 years. Granted I never really check the interest payments or deductions any way, it's mostly noise.
Don't have an ego. Always question yourself and your ability.
