God only knows . I think we are going down in the near future and trade it this way
There's a few reasons why it could go up, but I just don't feel comfortable with it right now. If you think gold is going up though........well Aussie MAY follow, we'll see..........

Why do you stop trading on Dec 21? Any thoughts on this pair? Are there good online courses that I can learn how to trade better/
No offense but if you have to ask you shouldn't be trading forex.

You will get your account blown up - guaranteed. The best thing to do is just google terms that have to do with trading like "broadening formations" "technical analysis" ect and other trading terms. babypips.com I think is where alot of people here have gotten an education but just googling trading terms and putting time into it will help more than anything. Visits thousands of sites not just 1 or 2.

You are going into the most competetive field on earth and you will get your head chopped off if your not prepared. Even the best minds get their head handed to them in the money world - I don't care if your a Dr, Scholar, served in the special forces or mathematician or even donald trumph or bill gates himself you still are going into a battle that is not favorable for you to win.

You should first ask do you want to commit the time required to do this and be prepared that no ammount of time invested garentees success or for you to develop the mentality required. Everyone thinks their tough - but this is a different kind of tough.

Now take this with a grain of salt and if you want to believe those that tell you it's easy money go right ahead but don't come back crying a week or a month later that your acount blew up because you were unprepaired. I've seen it a 1000 times and have gone through it my self. For some it's actually part of the learning process but for most it's their last venture in forex and the money world.
Good luck

You will miss the action! At this time of the year could be big
If I jumped in on a short I would be in the red. Look there's still risk taking going on. I'm not looking for action - I'm looking for the sure thing.

Patients if a virtue and timing is all that matters. If I'm wrong there will be another chance.

I don't have my charts open at the moment, but if you back out and look at the Daily you will also see the higher triangle top coming in around the 1.05 level. if this current squeeze gets broken then that is the next target. something to think about. gl/gt

This what you meant?

My bias is that price goes back into the triangle. Possibly breakout the other side.

sorry should have posted chart with thoughts. it is much more helpful. this is the one I am looking at and though nothing set in stone it does assist in position sizing at this current triangle within the larger triangle. hope this is more clear.

Extension connecting 10/27 highs @ 1.07ish and previous high at 1.03 from 12/8 seems likely to be broken. however, US Stock indices are ticking lower right now on the final day of US trading and gold has dropped $10 in the past 2h.

AUD has been inching higher all night. there is an 1.02 option expiry at 10am as well as reported offers at 1.02 (as per IFR via oanda). a close below previous highs at 1.0204 would add downside pressure but would still break the TL previously mentioned. the way I see it, there is real risk for a break to the upside to retest supply at 1.035/1.038 which has been a pivotal consolidation zone in the past 3 months.

crystal ball speculation: short term break of the AUD risk correlation with a move higher to test 1.03 ranges followed by a fall to parity in Q1. i am not so much bearish on AUD as much as i am bullish on the dollar as a safe haven in terms of a run for security as BRIC contracts and EZ worsens in 1/2Q12

this is a nail biter. g/l to all in the new year.. 2.25 hours to go.

Out of 3 ladies this prefered singal one doing most notriously & still continues non-stop . anyway even breaks up for some over 1.0219 still will expect down . let the crazy end first .eu continues up & gu apparently stalled . so watching for good time next .

Looks at last move higher on the chart ... just glad I'm not short. the wise man sat on the sideline. the unlucky one went short and the lucky one went long. I'm just glad i'm not the unlucky one.

[edit] There is a confluence of various things on my charts that would persuade me not to be short ATM. Because of the choppiness I don't want to be long either. I also want to see if price action could break through 1.0200. it has done so in convincing fashion. On the 1hr E-U there was what resembled a reverse H&S - it has broke out of the neckline. I would dare not want to short that. 30 more minutes for hourly close.. i will see what happens.

I am going to ride the AUD train, till EUR/USD hits 1.3030.

From the current levels EUR has to travel 50 pips north, may be in the mean AUD will shoot 75- 100 pips...or even 150 pips only Kangaroo knows....
