Well done.
1) I'm long cad,it's going fine
2) I'm short cadjpy, it's going very fine
3) I'm heavy short aud, it's not going fine :-( It needs to break the 415/400 level.

We trade the same idea.

i made 25% on AUDCAD 3 days ago, shorting, but closed... CAD is weak in front of AUD, it's pretty inexplicable, but that's life.
now i'm watching this pair again, it went up in the last hour, this is also very dangerous, for me at least, i use high leverage, i have a small sum.
I'll shop after the drop

yeap, but should the CAD congest and then the AUD increases I will be screwed and stopped out (1.0450). If not target at 1.000...around there. Time will tell.

Hi all,
how do you use trailing stop, is there any specific method or tech for calcuting the point for trail. Or do you use an arbitrary point ?
Any advice for a noob like me will be very appreciated. Yes that's the first time I'm going to use it (on my cadjpy) !!! Champagne for all. A new first step in the forex for me
Thanks.

I use points on the chart that I "feel" there might be support and resistance

Remember that I'm smart but not quick So I'm not understanding clearly. My entry is at the yellow level 80.15. How many pips do I ideally use for my trailling stop ? Is the ATR is a good criteria for determining the trail ????

Go to your profile

Under "Controls" you will see "Ignore List"

Then add "FxTyrant" to Ignore list.

Done.

Hey mate how are you. How is the aussie treating you. PA is confused like me. Monetary policy report might show us the next direction.

Hey Nachiket!

I'm doing good bro. Closed out my AUD/JPY and GBP/JPY longs as price action was pretty choppy. However, I'm short GBP/AUD and EUR/AUD.

Very nice down trend on monthly and weekly time frames. Just got a few nice entries yesterday using the Daily chart for entry points. Currently up about 200 pips combined for all the positions.

I'm staying away from USD pairs at the moment, a bit confusing for the time being. Going to wait for a breakout...

Hope all is well with you mate!

I think AUDUSD is just sliding slowly to its target. Yes there are two possibilities for the target , but most probably the pairs seems to be going upwards...While continuing its bullish trend it might retrace a little just to touch the fan suport level and use it as a bounce-up level...But a bigger possibility is to go upwards directly to the target (the intersection of the channels and the fan resistence) ...

GBP surely is going to hell. GBP/AUD short may prove to be a good trade.

My trailing stop (when there are profits) is simply a four part trade. I always trade in multiple lots of four. When I see 10-15 pips I close one lot and move the remainder to break even (in fact I get stopped out many times, but my losses are minimal). When I see 50 pips I exit 1 lot and use the remainder lot 50% of its level. The third lot I liquidate at 100 pips (if it ever reaches there) and the remainder until target is reach and keep it 50%. I don't "day-trade". What I mean about the 50% is basically half the distance of where it is currently trading. If the market allows me, than I will use support and resistance as stops until target is met or stopped out

Yep! Check out the support and resistance on the Weekly chart. It's been stuck in a 1,500 pip range for 2 years now maintaining the range almost perfectly.

In my opinion EUR/AUD and GBP/AUD are the smoothest currency pairs to trade longer term.
