Thanx ragnakore,
We shall see if it was a good or a bad pick!
Yup great entry. Miss the boat earlier when price tries to go back to the 0040 resistance and when it closes at 0019 i was already busy with work. Thought it will go back up and bounces but not meant to be. Sideline for now.

Looking to break 0006 to bring it back down to 9982

Short @1.0024, sl 1.0074, tp 0.9824
Stop moved to 1.0019 to lock in +5 pips.

Will leave it at that, hopefully Europe will take it through parity again and lower...
Time to spend Friday afternoon/night with family, so will call it the day here.
Good luck to all and play it safe!
Expect the unexpected.

Talking of "expecting the unexpected", I would not at all be surprised to see a 40+ pip up move, before coming back down. Would probably shake a few traders out. Just a heads up of what I am thinking. The Asian up move was very strong and deliberate (once it finally happened) and gave me 45 pips. I can't help but feel this is a false stall. It hit the 30 min 55 ema and the 50% fib but not the golden ratio. It is now forming a pin bar at the 61.8 retrace at 9997. Watching closely.

Yes, logical isn't it. Shorting this pair all the way to the bank this week. 218 pips and 10% account growth. Helped with my long at 995 closed out at 1.0040 about 2 mins ago though.

A bit odd I agree. No bullish divergence of any significance that I can see, just rough seas with a lot of chop. I would be surprised to see any significant Aussie gains today (tonight Aussie time) despite coming off parity. Europe is just way too unresolved and all of my momentum indis and price action tell me we are still heading down. Will wait and see. I am a little concerned the market will be completely dead today so If my short is triggered, I will be at pains to close it out for a small loss if I think there is more downward potential. Anyway, must learn not to lose sleep over it.

actually, 15 min bullish divergence, I am considering going long for 40 pips or so. Poor R/R ratio though.

Nup, done for the week and protecting gains. In no mans land right now and if it goes up, it might be good for 40 or more pips but R/R is crap. And if it triggers my short, that 15 min MACD bullish divergence may keep me in the red at NY close, not something to wish for on a Friday. Parity may limit any down side selling potential also. Have fun if you're still playing.

AUD/USD @ .9999

Its friday for some and the headline in Australia is Aussie breaks parity.
Its game over, the end is nigh, online shopping doomed..

Dont fear your sovereign fund is near..

Today ..9970 .9930 should be some support and resistance 1.0030 all the way up to 1.0130

For those of you who use Oanda here are a few suggestions to fill in your day.

Watch paint dry
Watch grass grow
Count cars
Listen to the wife intensely
Slap yourself around the head 100 times then choose another broker

I moved my SL to 1.0010 for +5 locked in profit too.

And placed another Sell Order 1.0040 with SL 1.0080 should this go back up.

I am convinced this is a bear bear bear trend.

5885 would be the perfect entry point on the GU. 50% retrace, 4hr 55 and 200ema, Daily 55 and 4 hour trend line. It doesn get any better.

I hate this price action... Up by 50+ pips and then ended with just 5...

Happened twice today...


Now I'm in at 1.0040, sl 1.0100 in black but wondering if I should go for just 50 pips instead of 150
