Double top formation at a critical resistance where a previous double top pattern went south bound. Also, bearish divergence is clearly seen on H1 chart. 200-day moving average on H1 has almost been touched. I can sense that the time is right to short the pair.
PRICE ACTION is the only real time indicator.

kindly waiting your advise,
Just noticed that you stated that you made an entry at 1.430 and stated a small loss. Did you go short at that entry or did you mean 1.530 for a Long entry? If it was short, then the news came out and didn't do you any favours.

The Aussie is a fairly interesting currency to trade in that against the US dollar, news can actually come out favorable to the USD and because of risk on effect, the AUD can actually go up against the USD because of it. Or, the US can post bad news for the country and the AUD can still go up against it or it may go down because of poor risk sentiment.

Rather than trading the news, probably better to trade Price Action. (PA)

Currently because of the interest rate differential, the AUD tends to be biased to the up side. Some traders will simply go long on the Aussie and hold it for the positive swap they receive on it. That's called Carry Trade.

AUDUSD @ 10576

OUCH !!! If you are short from 10430, I would guess that this trade went against you pretty much immediately (low is 10422)... and are now down some 130 pips...

My mentor has taught me that every trader has TWO accounts to protect in FOREX trading:

Account #1) Your financial trading account. Obviously a 140 pip stop loss is going to affect your trading account negatively

Account #2) Your Psychological account... your personal psychological state is also negatively affected with a trade that far against you. This account is equally important... ESPECIALLY for newer traders...

We must protect our psyche just as much as we protect our trading account. Big losses affect our confidence and the next trade could be substantially affected by that 'emotion' that has carried over psychologically from those big losers

My recommendation on this pair - AND ANY PAIR - for that matter - know your exit strategy before you enter... this may help protect both accounts.

Also, do everything in your power to learn to stop chasing price...

Just Say NO to chasing.... seriously, in this game - "PAYtience" is King

Best wishes for your success...

The question is, should I be long, or should I be out? Being short this pair has been mostly heartache for almost 2 yrs now. Why try to make money short with that horrible roll just clobbering you over the head every day? Until the fundamental outlook changes for intrest rates, this pair will drift upwards absent some news temporarily driving it down.

Great advice, the hardest lesson I had to learn was patience, knowing when to wait and knowing when to pull the trigger

If we can get a close up here this afternoon, Aussie will post a very bullish hammer on the weekly candle. May hold my longs over the weekend.

0550 looks like it soon will be tested. potentially strong rally if it can reach that and hold gains but im getting out 2/3rds there too risky this things been making new lows and i added to longs @ 0450. Will probably end up holding a small long if we can keep 0550 levels over the weekend.

Better to use this opportunity to reduce your longs if you have em.

I reduced my positions @550 and took profit set a small long order @500 but it never came back to 500. Watched as the price hit a low of about 510 saw signs of reversal on 15m got impatient and added small longs unfortunately @530, my position sitting at just under 0500 currently. Today checking on the market on my phone on the train to work were @590 on dailys fair chance of reversal, with an hour to go we are likely to hold these gains. Will hold my position and probably be buying on dips next week, lets hope were fortunate and got in on the beginnings of a new trend...ill be happier if we close above 1.06
