Guys, DON'T FORGET!

Official Chinese PMI data coming on Sunday. This is more important than the unofficial HSBC PMI we saw about a week ago. As I posted earlier, HSBC tend to be overly bearish with these figures. I'm expecting positive data on Sunday, which could see a large rise of 200-300 pips in AUD next week. So be cautious holding onto shorts over the weekend
Nice to wake up to $8k instant profit hope none of you were caught short, can't say I didn't warn you

Today, I'll watch the retailers try to short and get burned. Watch the big boys weigh in and send it up much higher than current levels as the day / week progresses. I just took some small partial profit, but I'm leaving most of my long positions open. Should be a good week for bulls.

Aussie heavily relys on china to buy their comoditys an fuel their economy with $$$(NZD is similar to AUD). They are 1 of aussies main trading partners where they get a large amount of their money from. The chinese PMI that came out yesturday was good and gave the people confidence that comodity prices would rise. So up she goes

"A stronger reading for a Chinese manufacturing gauge failed to end predictions for policy loosening as analysts described the gain as seasonal and a separate survey showed exporters struggling"

I'm not sure if this is true or not but just something to keep an eye on.

Thanks yeah im aware of that, very confusing, but if it was that bad, i dont think we would have seen that 100pip boost. I think that may signal a confidence boost in china which will switch the market up. But im not a fundamental impact expert. Just a inuitive guess

So far so good,gold and silver hold the monthly support.Aud closed below it by around 50 pips,considering the timeframe,most possible,it is not a break at all.Aud still has a very long way up to go as a commodity curreny.

AUD Looking soft, but good support in 1.0320/1.0290 may hold for now. Good resistance now around 1.0450 may be tested following the China PMI data. Aud crosses look as though further (Aud) weakness lies ahead

That's a bit harsh !
Are you using stop-on-offer or a midpoint-stop rather than stop-on-bid ?
My trading platform chart shows it only got Bid as high as 1.04357 ( 10.31.am SYD ) since you adjusted your order . And that's with a tight 0.7 pip spread , so even if you were using a midpoint-stop or stop-on-offer , with the broker I clear through you'd still be in the game .
