AUDNZD could have some potential for a short on 4 hourly.

Daily has stalled at a resistance level, and the 4 hourly is showing some signs of rejection at that level.

Going short against the AUD at the moment makes me nervous though.

I wouldn't go short on the Aud too right now till the news comes out later.

I do have my eyes out to go long on EU around 1.4070 but that depends on the PA.

Can you guys tell me how to upload a chart. I tried to do it as an attachment but that doesnt look like it works in the preview.
Are you seeing as per the attached image when you preview the post, if so it should be all good when you post it.

Is the image saved as a file format that is compatabile with what can be uploaded. Cant go wrong with jpg and assuming that is what you would be using. Also within the file size range otherwise it wont load.

First image is straight after uploading it.

Second image is after I hit preview post all I see is the little jpg image.

I dont particularly like to trade 5 min charts during the asian session, at times I will but prefer to wait until the London and NY sessions before getting into the lower TF trading.

Usually just sideways range during asian session, but that range can be tradeable if it is wide enough.

The trade got triggered. Personally i dont care about the sessions as long as it meets my criteria. Lets see what happens.

EU is definately at a key area, and will be interesting to see how price plays out from here.

Could range back up to the top and continue the longer term trend. If it can break below we start to see some bearish sentiment creep in.

Well said doggybones.

That pretty much sums it up.

And I think most traders at some point in thier journey will end up there. Its just a matter of how quickly you realise it, and do something about it, as it can be very destructive to both your trading account and your psychological mindset.

Like doggybones mentioned, discipline is the key to prevent yourself from overtrading and not simply chasing trades because you feel like you need to be in one.

Doggybones is also correct in saying the number of trades you take doesnt...

Keep in mind though that the daily candle 2 days ago with the long upper wick was pretty much the result of the intervention of the SNB.

But in saying that EU pretty much came straight back down to where it was after that large spike.

This is what I do when I place a trade. I dont look at the target profit but the target loss. If I am comfortable with that I get into that trade because I am willing to lose.

Hi nba,

I would say that there is no definitive answer to that question.

As long as what your trading meets all the cirteria of your trading plan and set ups as well as your risk management.

There may be times when you are going a whole week without a trade or there may be times where you have 3 nice potential entries in one day.

Essentially it is up to what you feel comfortable with. Personally I will not open too many trades at once. If I have a few open positions from long term charts, I do like to have BE entered if they are in profit before opening more. This essentially just minimising the risk at any given time.

Short term charts I will only have one on the go at time. The only time this will differ is if I have at least a BE in and I am trailing the position (even then I prefer to have at least some pips locked in as a trail), as there will be times when the market swings back to key levels that re entry is available.

Yes, this is very similar to the way I look at a potential position.

You must look at every trade when it starts as a losing position, and are you willing to wear that loss or does it fit within your risk management criteria.

Too many traders do not understand or practice risk management correctly and can quickly lead to blown accounts if your not careful.

Wow I wasn't expecting that with the aussie results. Looks like at least a short term short for me.

Looks like the impact of the news for AUD was negative.
