is anyone still live with a eur/aud short?

i have been very hesitant to open new shorts on this pair. it feels so oversold.
10 min for this H1 to close below 2227 and make yet another fresh all time low in 5 consecutive hours, sure I'm in with no intentions of leaving just yet

Has the USD weakened at all? Any reason for it?
with the USDJPY pair its lost value far more than other currencies paired with JPY.

Also the AUDUSD has quickly got above 1.04

(Im new to all this too by the way, so please be gentle if im talking like a rookie )

There was a nice retrace, pretty optimistic euro news tho, auctions should run smoothly too after positive sentiment, if I wasn't already short I don't think I'd enter now.

Edit: talking about EUR/AUD

Draw your long term trendlines on a line chart not on candlestick chart using high/lows of the day, or use highest close for upper and lowest close for lower TL's, then watch daily close.
Daily TL you're talking about would be broken upwards if daily closes above 1.0462.

Hi stulic, where can I find info on the auctions? Is there a calendar for that? It seems that these are really important market movers and the forexfactory calendar doesnt indicate them. Thanks

I don't know of a handy calendar for bond auctions or any free provider with real-time yield updates. You can use Bloomberg free service for major government bond yields but not in real time and it wouldn't be of any use for you anyway.

Way too many bonds, bills, gilts and whatnot are being auctioned by governments and banks across the world pretty much all the time for anybody to be able to track them all in real time, it's only recently because of the Euro debt crisis that these auctions tend to have an impact on the forex market.
I wouldn't bother much about it if I were you.

Thanks for both the replies Stulic. You are right that I draw my long term TLs on a candlestick chart. Its nice that you shed some light on the bond auction issue that its gained importance for the fx market due to the euro crisis. I'll take your word for it and not worry too much about it. It does seem like an impossible task to be able to keep up with all of them! =)

sell AUD at 1.043 with SL @ 1.045. I think it'll be going down off the trend line in this 4H chart.

Looks a little more obvious now doesn't it? Correlation between S&P and AU has been my reasons for getting and staying long in AU. here's an updated chart.

when a trader has the direction correct.. pull backs and patience are beautiful things.

i'm waiting until around 10-11am EST to consider a long entry. the fade started at 0450 and will probably trickle back to 0390.. as long as a close stays on top of the 0380, i will probably throw on a little fish to test the waters.

I would do the opposite of what daily FX says and have.

Sometimes I read their BS news although I use them it always seems to be exactly that BS.

Writing to have the sheep follow and lose their money.

Could be an entry here long, may be too soon, yet not much on the news docket until this evening.
