Yep you too. I still remember that gap on the 23 July. I was long euro and held the position into drawdown to exit with a -50 pip loss just to see it rocket up like a thunderbolt 2 days later.

another dogshit week in the bull camp LOL

They should of murdered the asshats responsible that forced 5 digit forex, these fuckers can now move 10x the orders without actually moving anything.

Maybe another year we can have 7 digit and move a market 1/10 of a cent hahaa

I think usually when AUDUSD goes up USDCAD goes down and vice versa. If I had believed that AUDUSD is more likely to go up I would not have taken a long USDCAD position.

AUDUSD is just below a trendline since early August 2011 and I assume it will stay below that trendline.
AUDUSD can go up and USDCAD up at same time if AUDCAD also goes up. Obviously this means that the best trade to be in between the three pairs is AUDCAD long.

I am not 100% sure of these AUD pairs and getting in now after it's already bottomed over 500 pips is risky because it's harder to know where to place a stop. Hence, I'm focused on USDCAD, which looks like a great set-up to me.

You are correct; I shouldn't have included the word "usually" when writing about AUDUSD and USDCAD.
USDCAD also looks great to me but the big players would have to agree with that.

I took a closer look at the pairs this weekend and tried to find the strongest pair out of all of them. AUDJPY could be straight up nasty. I lowered my size on the USDJPY trade and moved it over to AUDJPY-long. Still have a long USDCAD trade too.

AUDJPY has potential for 100.00 in what could be an explosive move. I'd like to see it stay above 81.55. There is a decent chance that it has bottomed at 82.24.

A bit too drawn out for my liking. .9910 is proving to be some decent resistance. I'm still short from the .9920 test last friday though. Oil's up a bit this morning. Thinking that will help CAD once the TSX opens this morning. TP is at .9890.

Economy of Canada is dependent on US economy, so good news for US translates to good news for Canada. Plus Canada doesn't have 'fiscal cliff', QE etc factors so good news out of US becomes better news for Canada.

My bias on this pair is Long till we don't close on daily/weekly below 0.9983.

I'm bullish.. bought in at @9950.. plan to ride/milk it back up to 1.02+ area.. might take some time..first area i'm looking at is 1.0064

Used to actively actually 'daytrade' this pair, but its slow..

I don't think the stars have lined up for orion yet.. we had a meteor shower last week though.
lowest draw down possible please.
