Hi Mauro,

I have been following AUDUSD ...
What is your opinion on this?

I am waiting for 1.08 to short it but I am not sure ...

Thanks
Marco
AUDUSD was a big deception to me. After jumping in and making 100+ floating profit, price came all the way back just to hit my SL.

Still holding it. Have already closed the bigger part of the position. Had 230 of floating and just watched it climbing back today. 100 pips left and I am thinking to close the rest later today. Thoughts of the TP at AWR are fading.

Hi Mauro,
I closed my EURUSD long at break even :=)
What do you think about EURUSD ?
It looks like it broke the diamond going south and the next levels should be 1.36 and lower

Thanks
Marco

1.3978(entry) and SL @1.3950. TP at 84% AWR.

However, notice that this is a totally counter trend trade. I RARELY trade like this. However, we had excessive range today, and there are plenty of confirmed MACD divergences .

Fingers crossed.

1.37 is an initial target as price is inside a descending channel. The support TL is around that level.

How likely will be that EURUSD will re-test the lower diamond trendline at around 1.40 before tanking?

Thanks

This week was 3rd touch on the big Weekly Triangle. Also it looks like a possible 18.4 IY and what I like about it is that Yearly MM has already changed twice.

A few 18.4 as of today (yesterday):

GBPUSD
USDJPY
NZDJPY(IW yesterday)

Also, USDx has reached a key resistance level today. It actually made a higher high. Next possible step is an ascending resistance TL that could be the basis for a broadening formation.

Do you expect GBPJPY to break to the upside or the downside the triangle?

Here is the sickest divergence I have ever since, even beating Igrok's usd/dem divergence in his book on above daily TF. Quadrople divergence on weekly chart on gbp/aud.

Looks like EUR/USD is going to test horizontal support at 1.3400. This level also match 50 % of Fibonacci retracement.

Thanks for posting it mate. Already have a few ideas about this issue in mind. Will post if anything matures up ;-)

EURUSD scenario on the big view, looking at the last 3 months it seems like the pair has some tendency to post extreme somwhere in the middle of month and to close near the open...

While scanning through some charts, I discovered the oldest diamond I've encountered so far, dating back to 1966 on Dow Jones. It choose final destination around my birth 18 years later.

I can't tell why I'm so fascinated by such market-patterns

Might it be the fact that they are still present buddy?. Priceless peace of art on the charts.

Trading crosses can be very tricky. The experience I gained from trading crosses directly relate to another theory that majors trade one direction on one day and they keep the same direction until a cross compensates on the following day.

Therefore, it's healthy (for your account) to trade a cross only in the same direction as its corresponding major.

For example: GBPAUD had an 18.4 buy signal today, while its corresponding major (GBPUSD) had its trend down. Therefore, it is somewhat obvious that GBPAUD had an ENORMOUS probability of changing it move to down as well.

However obvious, this approach can seriously affect individual back testing for each and every single CROSS pair. It most certainly will affect forward testing (live) as well.

I understand what you are saying. Igrok have talked about cross-analyses but I have never tested it good enough. But in your example, the aud/usd MMOTD was down meaning AUD was weak (or strong dollar). That would make you take the scenario anyway I guess. I took the same trade today on gbp/aud but based on diamond.

Crosses have different 'weights' on them based on the currency that mostly affects them. There's obviously an imbalance between how much GBP and AUD affect GBPAUD for example.

Getting a hold of this as accurate as possible might be a good edge.
