I'll join you in the quest down to 93.. after I close my long at 99.
Hi guys, the GU has the 200ema of every significant timeframe above it from the 15 min to the monthly. It retested the 4 hourly 200ema on Friday after crashing south through the daily 200ema. Yesterday it broke and closed convincingly south through the daily trendline see post 35984, giving lots of pips. This together with world events are going to have every investor and his lap dog rushing to the USD to make the most of this move and to safety after the Dow finished 300 points lower yesterday. This will hurt any and every currency paired aginst the USD including the high yielders. I just would not think of any significant longs right now regardless of minor support below us. Got to head out now and massage a client.

I understand this. I have longed with B.E. SL so no worries. Want to get a higher price for the short.

Edit: B.E + 10 now

Shorted just now at 9833, target 93ish, no SL as I don't see the point. Will short again at NY open if we get a london rally.
Damn!

I should have thought of that!

BUT! when I dont have SL, damn price action would shoot fast and I end up with a wolf inside a hen house doing mucho damage to my account.

It's not too late . In fact, better price right now.

I'll wait until Asian rally ends first though.

US GDP might have an effect, however i am not sure of the magitude...

AUD follows EUR against USD (not every time though) .... Now EUR is reaching a falling wedge line where there could be a possible reversal and that may lead to AUD moving south again... So i've short AUD @ 0.9863....

Today's US GDP report is a "2nd release" and therefore, it will not provide any surprise to the market.

I never use SL, they're just a way of forking over pips. The stop-loss IS the wolf with his mouth gaping wide open.

I'm short from 103.97 and .9977, holding out till low 90's.

The 103.97 position is an example of where a SL would have killed me. I interpreted a top as in place, or nearly in place on October 26, only to have the market go 350 pips against me for 1 day, then come back in my favour.

Yes I understand, it can get hairy, but with the GU determining overall direction of majors right now, I see only downside, also hedged my Aussie short with a GU long (see previous post) which seems to be going ok

Price action has formed a bullish trend channel. S&P, DJI and other indexes were suggestive of bullish correction and I withdrew my BULK pending orders (leaving behind only 1 lot sell 0.9890) waiting for the smoke to clear up.

It is Thanksgiving week and traditionally, it is bullish market regardless of market atmosphere (check 2008).

selling this pair isnt advisable atm.
wait wait wait.. unless I heard some ultra BAD news coming out of europe

Following the 4 hour trend channel of your preferred pair and keeping an eye on the GU daily and weekly trendlines, I firmly agree with this practice. Selling rallies in a down trend until the GU reaches it's higher time frame trend channel. it does take some hairy balls and quite a bit of practice. Talking of such...
