Just woke up from sleep to see it ain't moved an inch. o.O this ain't no healthy environment, not until BB talks his talk and walks his walk.

Or how the famous Will Smith told it : "This ain't over 'till the fat lady sings".

And one hour 5 minutes later, it hit the nail on its head.

Took me a while to find out needs at least 4 vouches to vouch your post. Good to read posts from those who know what the are talking about
thank you, really though I was following sukkim. He really was hitting each profit point in an excellent manor for that hour you mentioned!

Just an idea but i'm thinking of correlating currencies for the upcoming fed announcement...buy AUD/USD and sell EUR/USD.

Anyone else think this could work and minimise risk?...

cheers

Minimise risk, yes, but also minimise profits. Why don't you stay put and try to go in the right way?

Good afternoon, it is. it was just a noon nap.

Since June first AUD/USD EUR/USD have traded in line with eachother so going long and short the other would cancel out the trade maybe even cause a loss because if you look at AUD/USD it has spiked much more than other currencies in anticipation. If you believe the market will be happy with operation twist then going long eur/usd is a no brainer, as for AUD/USD Im short on futures at 1.0125 but on spot I would look to short at 1.0280

Good luck but if ben makes the market happy you should pick one pair to go long and let it ride to the next critical level not try to get cute and hedge or try a market neutral strategy in this trade.

The bid has been solid from 2660 and rising so far,its at 2700 now
thinking we might go back to 2660 before the fireworks start.

Cheers for the replies. Wait for the news is the alternative but my thinking is that pip values are like for like at the moment, AUS is relatively stronger than EUR so there is a differential in the correlation, so dollar may not fall equally relatively, and, if we aim 3:1 RR then in theory one doesnt cancel the other...but I hear what you're saying

I agree the upside potential move today could favor AUD as it has been stellar in trading this month and it does not have all the fundamental weights dragging it along.

I’m short AUD at around this level looking for a disappointment from the Fed and long EUR at 1.2633 I think today will set the tone for 1.03 and 1.30 moves over the next week or two or we will see a retest of May levels

Best of luck today..

If you think there'll be disappointment from the Fed, why are you long Euros?

My main position is short AUD if I am wrong and it spikes up to 35-50 level I can get out plus have an offset long EUR minimize losses.. I put on the EUR position yesterday morning for a long so That I would be able to build a large postion short AUD this morning when it was toppy at the .25 level..

Plus if the fed does come out and everyone is happy with the outcome I can close the AUD take the hit but ride EU to 1.30
