will you confirm the double top, before you enter? or are you just going to pull the trigger? (just curious, I am still in long from yesterday)

consolidation with possible bull to 1.04 dependent on stocks.

on short covering can easily blow past 1.04 (on an exaggeration) so be careful guys, keep short stops but if stopped be prepared to reenter.

a double top would be a nice, additional piece of confidence but I will not wait for confirmation. i am looking for an aggressive sell

hi, i'm looking to buy at 2800 but i'm not sure if i should just buy straight at that price or wait for a green bar to form at the support first.

what do u normally do ?

...what do u normally do ?...
"what do you normally do" is not an exact science ranging from as accurate as 0 pip to as huge as 200 pips.

When to buy/sell is basically gut feeling+observation+experience. If it is exact science, then everyone can do it exactly.

Now that we are testing some supports, 1.0280, we could see a bounce up.
Another support is around 1.0250

i assume you mean 0280

honestly, im not doing anything right now. it looks like price has scope to hit 0250/60 during asia today. im sidelined again. i have found this pair difficult to trade lately. i was originally looking for a top closer to 0380 to sell.. but it undershot my sell targets... so i'm just waiting and trying to scalp when i feel its appropriate (which has been pretty so-so. more or less break even).

if i had to give advice, i would wait for aud/usd to confirm a bottom then short the eur/aud. a short at 2420 or above would be a solid. dont be afraid to take a little heat though


ragnakore summed it up nicely as well

That said you would not want to be entering without some form of back test to your entry.

I will be trading daily bars, actually looking for breakout of yesterday's high on AUDCAD......

need bulls for AUD to get things moving.

Like red, I am sideline since yesterday. Monday was a killer got screwed..

I too have a sell order parked at 1.0380 - its a strong resistance since late Nov. tested it twice this year as well. And this time I wanna short it at that price with Stop at 1.0410.

While we are below 1.0300, and market is very energetic, hopeful, I am buying but waiting for a price I still dont know where! Tentatively, I'd trade small lots till I get it right. SPX is looking heavy all those talks of slowing China is weighting heavily on AUD. But I cant shake the news of China buying huge copper last december - should be bullish for economy.. or maybe they just took advantage of low prices?

yes. i cant emphasize this enough.. note that eur/aud is flat despite a weakening aud/usd. as bollingers tighten up before london, this could be a very nice entry point before the next euro downleg. there are some crosses out there that have had tremendous performance

i agree.. I would enter in on some euro pairs but I'm afraid my overall positions are big enough for my account size. Can't afford more risk at the moment even though 5/8 pairs are big winners in my basket

the thing i dont get about the materials/aud correlation is that mining etc is only 10% of their economy. they are a service based economy.
