long 99.90 AJ that was one hell of a fakeout extremely dry liquidity = strong reversal usually also short audusd 9755, not looking for much out of this short

took 15 pips on half the position (9755 to 9740), this is now a free trade (sl is about 15)

i am pretty cautious of this aussie dollar going much further down than 9720...

i may even look at a long around 9730

I think I hold the best carry trade of all: short USD/INR. (India has 7.25% interest).

That's true. I don't believe that pair is available to me.

I think the PESO might be a bit better rate.. not positive on that though. No one wants to own that.. except after 2008. If you shorted (short dollar/long peso) then you would be sitting pretty for the last 5 years.

If you got USD/INR at a good price you may as well hold it until you get stopped out, if you ever do.

Now that I posted that bearish chart on AU I'm going to try out a quick long, target 98.

I sell everything 55.00 and up. I hold 10,950,084 rupees now and that gives me $27.16 per day in interest.

{quote} okay good. Well here is my chart. I uploaded in another thread. It's not full of fibs and marks just shown what I think of AU next week. I am still bearish and think it will go below .97 to next strong support around .95x I have longed at .974 and currently few pips red, I am targeting .977 to exit from current long as I am not sure about next moves and missed my 1st tp of .98. Another intensive sell off can burn my money. I already burned some on NU and AU last week. {image}
Target hit. .977 out now. Waiting for re entry!

If I would move to the Phillipines, I could easily live on that, surrounded by beautiful girls, English language and a perfect climate.

TP hit, looks like it might have some more in the tank.

I do not have access to the USD/INR. What broker is offering it?

Sorry for not posting today.

I didn't take any scalps. Figured the action would be pretty bad with the bank holidays, but looking at the charts, it was still decent for scalping.

Just kept my long AJ 99.90 and AU 9749 from a few hours after market open yesterday


Just now took off 75% of my long in AU @ 9817 (+68 pips).. don't even care about the swap. Not when the down trend is this strong.


Carry is only important to me when trend is bullish...


I see a few of you also took some longs.


Good pips all around!




add: still holding aussie yen 99.90 entry

Trading like a true pro.

Only multi millionaires really care about carry trades. They can truly live very well off of them. Im just working on my skill in identifying carry trades to take.

But still, $27.16 a day... not bad at all. Considering you get the swaps on weekends too, you could actually live off of that even in the U.S., although more as a bare minimalist.


Curious, what was your entry on USD/INR?

Also posting this here for those who want to check out how I scalp

It's a video of me trading the m15 on AUDJPY at 7x real time speed over an 8 hour period. So each m15 candle is 2 minutes.

The video is 1 hour and 9 minutes

One of these days I'll do a live run, record it for 8 hours, and then speed it up so you don't have to watch 8 hours worth.

I'm off for now, will be actively scalping tomorrow after London lunch to NY close

Hey man, nice sell! I almost took that exact same level after the new 4 hour open (NY close), but just took profit on long instead.



I gotta run but, welcome to the thread, hope to see you around often !


Talk to you all later
