gotta be happy with that, a textbook rejection at 0281. managed to add another buy at 0285 and move my SL to BE, not confident enough to say we're done with that 0280 just yet
closed both longs..probably could have held for a retest of 0380 but markets too fragile waiting for italian/greek news

will look for a short at 0380 tomorrow morning

closed @ 0400. Looking to buy again on a dip. Have a great weekend!

Regards
Bought the dip @ 0300. Would like to move stop to 0350 if we break 0400. Stop now at BE. I am not very good at scalping, but this range is killing me!

Regards,

AUD/USD @ 1.0390

Well the Italian stud resigns and up pops the Aussie. He must have slipped it one of his Viagra's.

Still waiting for the broad range to be met 1.00 -1.0700 for overnight positioning.. intraday i have the same as yesterday 1.0320 1.0430 with 50pips either side for the next supp res..

Good luck

cheers

well well, thank you berlusconi you've got me some action! will be keeping an eye on the chinese inflation data in 2 hours time, it should favour bulls according to forecasts. may even have to close this and reenter depending on the data

edit: chinese data came in lower than previous release but on par with forecasts thankfully. looking to add to my short if we get to 1.04 possibly

stop loss at 1.0420 at the moment, the peak of the recent range for the past week or so.

since the market has been so indecisive for the past week i've been moving my stops up to BE and beyond as soon as i get up by a few pips. have to embrace a free trade in these market conditions

Most probably there are traders out there that is still testing whether BoJ would come in again and intervene... With the positions I am in, I am all for another BoJ intervention..

if we push through 0312 strong then yes 280 is looks like a good bounce area.... i have my tp at 0312 for now but ill be watching it there to see if i wanna move it lower bc when this thing breaks out to the downside i would not be surprised if we see a 400pip move

just taking a look over the horizon of whats to come in the near future, not sure if the euro/ny indices will have another rally in them today leading on from the greek/italy pm news. if they do rally again it wont be long before we get over 1.04. bernanke has a speech later today too which could go either way.

im looking at the aus unemployment data tomorrow as the only possible trigger for a big move downwards by the end of this week. if they do come out negatively as expected then we'll definitely drop quickly, remains to be seen if it will create enough momentum to kickstart a big move

No way, look at daily candle chart. It's on way to the south.
