Putting Sl to BE now as it's a risky play against a strong downtrend. No winners into losers

I think this is a good time to use a PO. I'll set one at 55 to catch any break above 50 and hope I don't get a fakie. Too messy otherwise

Well managed mate, it's all got a bit crappy again. Still waiting for an opportunity here.

Crappy is the right word! At the moment on Aussie it looks like the fakie was a stop run south, so maybe good sign for longs. The case against is the massive downtrend, and that last 15 min close although bullish closed right on resistance. My PO kicked in at 55 (1/2 position) and I'll buy on dips

Going to have a crack at that as well, long AU @ 41. Reverse of that EU trade of the other day...Half way down the wick of the H1 pin.

Good luck mate. I haven't added yet, got very close to being stopped out just then. She's not behaving nicely. Wack another 1000 lot order on to make her go up will you? I like the last 15 min candle that closed just need to get a good entry

and stopped out... Longs are off the table for me now
Turning into a bad day. That pending order was a bad idea. I put it on after the news as price started to fall off. But it came back and faked me in.

Sucks! I should stick to the EU lol. She's my baby. Flat here after that loss. Bit of a slow week. I missed the best trade which would have made things much different. Small margins between black and red in this game. Plenty more great setups just around the corner mate, chin up.:nerd:

  • Mar 29, 2012 9:58am Mar 29, 2012 9:58am
Yes, chin up, and no more Aussie for a bit. She's under that support now where I was looking for bounces, so won't enter again until we're higher. If she closes down here on the weekly, it's looking very bearish

Aussie has been a right cow today, but she's finally just printed this pin on my 4hr. It's lower than I would have liked, but worth thinking about

Good trading people.......

She has been bouncing back and forth.

Quick recap from when I left this morning, was long from 1.3307 and had s/l @ BE by the time I work up she had already stopped me out so I went short from 1.3285 took some profit and moved my s/l to BE.

Then when I saw price wasn't going to close below my 200 HR MA around the 2000 candle and seen the 4HR candle put in a PB, I went long, took profit and left a runner.

Rinse and repeat is what I keep hearing, but still looking long. And with end of month tomorrow bulls will be looking to close over the 100 monthly MA (Dark Orchid line).

Morning all. Great stuff, Turtle! That 1hr 200 (or 4hr50) on Euro was a great trade. I see me and Lazyboy just missed the right bus on Aussie by a whisker! That's fx for you. She was very naughty yesterday, shaking out the longs. Eurusd was actually much better behaved.

Morning all, hope someone managed some pips on EU off the great confluence of YH, pivot, H1 10ema and support?

Finally getting those longs on EU/GU.

Sorry for the lack of input from me recently. Been a mad busy week with lots of meetings, not had too much trading time, had to take a couple on H4 setups alone

Not me, Trotty. Though it was good for some decent pips. I was waiting for a deeper pullback after such a move- it's too near recent highs on daily for me to go long up here
