there are stops and covers. It will probably work south to 1.02-1.015 by the time london opens.

AU will only play in the range of 1.0150 to 1.0330 until 9 December.... HOPIUM is keeping it up.

I will buy AU around 1.0200 to 1.0250 targeting 1.0280 - 1.0300 today.

Too risky to short, IMHO.

sorry to hear your SL has been hit. I am trading off the daily so my SL is @ 1.01356

agreed. i dont want to have any exposure to risk pairs when the summit wraps up.

However.. i have to admit, i am tempted to go long in small amounts on EUR/USD, USD/AUD, AUD/JPY at lows before the summit tomorrow... just in case the hopium hysteria exceeds the low expectations that have been set by germany.

bought the drop on Aussie. Data releases push prices to short term extremes.

I shorted at 1.0294, with initial stop at 1.03 - I know, very shallow, but my indicators were looking for a swing down.

The bad data helped me in,

Its probably risky to 'short' this market, so instead I just put a TS at 30step-to-7.

So far now, I can't loose I've locked in 37pips, so if it moves up suddenly, oh well

Looks like there's trouble getting back above the 15M 200EMA. looks like another leg down to maybe around 0215 me thinks.....

either way, SHOW ME YOUR PIPS! haha

I think this hopium is different than past hopium, everyone and their mother is saying that the markets are going to rally after the EU summit, no matter what they say, if its just a little, itty bitty positive we're going to have the mother of all rallies through the end of the year, damn the fundamentals showing the global economy is cratering. However, since everyone, everyone is calling this rally, I think maybe, just maybe we don't. lol
Yay! Pips for everyone!

No hard TP, but first target if the pattern holds (price can move above last bar) is 1.0455 area.

if it closes below the last bar I will sharpen my stop as the pattern will losing strength IMO

doesn't look like it wants to fall any further to me. it should fall according to logic, but i'm gonna step in with a very small long and see what happens.

It has retraced more than half of the movement. i dont know

I'm out.. bagged about 70 pips between AUD/USD and AUD/NZD. should have been more.. but I'm greedy and waited too long. oh well

Ok, looks like a break of the 200EMA is confirmed, but held off at the 10EMA, so a break of that and the 30EMA could see a big jump up to around 1.03

i reversed again at 1.0261 - normally i don't flip this much but this one's acting a bit odd tonight, at least compared to what i'm used to. should go down but that 1.025 line has got some support

edit...i wouldn't expect much more of a down move till london but even then the hopium for friday's euro news will keep the bulls lingering i bet
