I just had a thought:

If we break a trend line and are unsure of direction would it be a wise idea to set up two trades one in each direction? Use half the channel as a stop loss point for the other direction trade. This way one trade gets stopped and you make half the channel as profit.
I've read on FF that if you are going to hedge it is best to do it in a different pair.
Over thinking over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

I'm giving it a go. I agree with you on tech and fundamental. Fundamentals are hard to guage at this point in time as risk sentiment is chaotic. Lots of people are uninvesting which is resulting in plays in the market against the norm.

If we drop back in the channel we'll stay there. If this is a break out then we'll hit a new high before trending down again. That's my take on the markets.
If you are trading longer timeframe charts fundamentals are easy, nothing chaotic at all... Europe is screwed, the US$ is regarded as a safe haven for scared big money, the minerals boom in Australia is waning a little and Julia Gillard/Wayne Swan a freakin idiots.

Sell the AUD, GBP, EUR

Simple.

If you are a sacalper trading 5 to 60 minute charts, I agree that fundies are confusing, but I prefer not to be confused, so I generally don't look at charts under 4hr

TRUST ME... it really is easy to make money trading if you are NOT confused.

Nope... CHY stimulus = Chinese the money to buy minerals, coal and LNG that Australia sells

EDIT... sorry

Chinese stimulus on hold = Australia suffers, causing loss of jobs and lower GDP = lower AUD

I just tried "hedging" if that's what its called. Unfortunately it looks as if Odana doesn't allow this?! My orders executed and cancelled each other out. What's the deal?

We'll probably see a retest of 0.9300 in the next few weeks.

Only thing that can push the AUD up in my opinion is Chinese stimulus (possible) and/or higher interest rates from RBA (unlikely).

That being said I would not be surprised to see the AUD at or over $1.30 within 12 months.

Just open a sub-account. Then you can do "hedging".

Alternate view, however unlikely that it is, for the sake of argument...

Looks more like my old sac hanging between my legs.

The AUD is dropping in the near term, stop trying to buck the obvious trend... it can only end in disaster.

Strong correlation of all USD crosses.
Be careful not to overleverage because your trades will most likely move in tandem.
