Was long from .3000 since monday, was up 100pips at one time but i was too stubborn let it close as my target was .4200

Now it falls off a cliff -.- thankfully I shifted SL to be +1 minutes before the sell off

still worried about that 0210 level too before i can confidently watch this ride down further.
if this breaks. down to 1.01 we go and even parity.

ive been watching the news carefully and even with the two dogs out of the seat, ECB and IMF still dont have money to finance EFSF and thats the biggest worry


watch eurusd... its dropping hard now

you thinking of shorting on a pullback, or waiting till later in the week? would prefer to wait till the unemployment data tomorrow to really nail this into the coffin but it might not even make it that long

I actually put a long (0.01 only) @ 1.0250, taking into account that the greeks are in the process of figuring out their new government. Once they have it, I think people will go back long until they realize again that it's all an exercise in futility.
Buy! Buy! Sell! Sell! Just make sure you have proper MM!

fair enough. ive decided no longs for me tonight after that silly one i took at 0330. regrettable trade.

if we somehow manage a close below 0220 tonight then all hell could break loose, remember that freefall to 0.938 last month?

no problem here... only risking 0.01 units. I'll keep holding it until the market reverses which I know will happen sometime in the future i.e. carry trade.

wow only just got around to surveying the complete damage to the euro indices now. almost a 4% turn around on some of them. ny indices to open 2% lower so far too, might have to wait a while just to get close to 1.03

  • Nov 9, 2011 5:05am Nov 9, 2011 5:05am
I think it's kinda late to short aud, i recommend waiting for 1.04 at least. Though downward pressure remains strong as Europe may come up with more ' interesting news'.

if we get a bounce here theres a pretty blatant double bottom on the charts. not sure the fundamentals have enough power to create/sustain a bounce though.

still hoping for 1.03 as an entry and 1.032 if we were really lucky, but thats unlikely so i will probably jump in lower.
stop probably at 1.033 just because 1.032 has been a support level during the ranging lately and hopefully it will turn into a resistance level if theres a bullish move.
targets 1.012 and 1.0060? im not really sure what the significant support levels are below 1.012. 10060 is just a fib level.

if we break down before going back up though then im really not sure what to do, its a bit of a freefall after 1.02
