Thanks, lazyboy. I just got back from the school run, saw the inverted hanmer on 15 min on that trendline and thought "oh yes" and went in again. I have 1/4 left running from 10377 and 1/4 from 10401. I'll amalgamate the stop on both to just below the last low at 10392 and try not to meddle now!

Good trading people, DJing on Sun/Mon keeps me off the thread some times. Closed my long this morning and went short around 1.3327, took some profit and moved s/l to BE which got hit.

This tight range is making want to sit out until some kind of guidance is given, but know me, I'll still trade.

HOLLA

Morning all, my last Aussie long was stopped at BE on the RBA news. They kept the rate unchanged, but with dovish comments, so it's likely there will be a rate cut in May which seems to have put a damper on the markets for the moment.

Not much going at the moment. Waiting for this consolidation to end. Aussie found support at 10390. A break of 87 could signal more bearish

She's not dropping anymore, probably because euro and cable are not following suit.

Lowering my stop with the 15min 10 as she's held well so far today and I don't want to give anything back.

Just checking in again. Man, it's slow this morning! My stop's still holding- see how the 10ma has provided perfect floating resistance all morning. Euro and cable finding a bit of support here, might try a long scalp here on them. Aussie might get stopped out soon

Yes its very slow mate. Sitting it out here until there's some action. Might be like this all day with the fomc later?

Yes, you're probably right. Stopped out on Aussie +8 with that spike through the 10ma. looks like she might go lower without me now
