Also, the Australia Reserve Bank is trying to depreciate the currency currently, so that's another thing.

Everyone and their Mother is doing the same. Just watch to see how the candle closes. If you get a kangaroo tail candle close on the daily, then you need to be diligent for next day or so.

Will do.

the thing is, I want to trust the strategy and stay till SL is hit as 100pips said. But then again, logic would tell me to exit the trades.

what do you think?

Nobody is saying don't stick to the strategy. You need to be diligent. You can't be so mechanical in your trading that you ignore the obvious. There is more to trading then just hitting the sell/buy button when you are OS/OB. The system gives you parameters to trade within, but you need to be a little more diligent in knowing when to trade a certain pair and when it may be time to sit on the sideline until their is crystal clear direction. Just like 100pip posted on Friday. He said he was sitting on the sideline on G/A because it had reach a historical resistance level. He also mentioned a few days ago on A/U and E/A. Did this system tell him that? No, his experience and ability as a trader reading chart patterns, S&R levels, weekly historical PA recognition did. You can't just trade blindly. PA doesn't travel in a straight line. Granted PA has since cleared that historical level, but it hasn't traveled far from it, and is at 100pips discretion if he feels confident in trading that pair moving forward.

IMO, the pair is now looking like it's in a distribution phase of PA movement. Look at the hourly chart. A possible sign of PA being in a distribution phase means a drop from these levels may be in store. Who knows if it will follow through. We don't have a crystal ball. All we have to do is be diligent in recognizing potential behaviour of PA. Just something to keep an eye on.

1st Attachment - Recently Closed Positions
2nd Attachment - Current Open Positions
3rd Attachment - Current Balance & Equity

Current Balance is up about $200 and Equity is up a little over $900 in the past couple of days. Not bad...

Technical analysis report just posted by a DailyFX quantitative strategist. Seems to agree with what I have posted above regarding possible reversal on AUD. Pippy mentioned it as well. Watch the daily candle close on AUD pairs. Take a peak at NZD pairs as well.

Yep! The Price Action at this area of Support (PASR) is telling me that we are in for a reversal. Great observations MKFX!

not meant to sound smart ..promise.. but how do you justify calling a reversal when interest rate differentials are narrowing / long term/short term bond rates yield curve divergence are widening.. seems to me if investors leave markets to return or rebalance to higher bond yields we should see the dollar rise aud continue to drop.. as is evident from the downside triangle break on the longer term time frames...
my thought though im not ballzy enough to short aud/usd cause of the large interest rate differences...

maybe your seeing potential for a bounce and return to short dynamics as what like 70% of retail is still long this beast?

Price Action @ Support / Resistance (PASR)

Take a look at the Daily chart for AUD/USD. We've got a spinning top at major support from a monthly and weekly perspective. If AUD/USD moves up another 20-30 pips before today's close then we have a Hammer. This is a powerful candle at major areas of support.

You can call it a bounce if you want but I'm looking for roughly 320-450 pips up from where we are currently at and with a total of 4-8 positions I plan on banking an additional 1,000-2,000 pips. If not, then I stand to lose 320 pips with my 2 current open BUY positions.

Risk 320 : Reward 1,000+ Good enough for me...

interesting I do see the hammer.. you really suspect highs though with 1000+ points? I am short usd which is inline with your analysis tho but on more narrower interest rate differential pairs... lets see!

Do you guys suggest I get out of AUDUSD and other AUD/NZD pairs?

I'm positive on them all (except for AUDUSD), so leaving now would give me profit.

Or perhaps JUST get out of AUDUSD?


EDIT: Forget it. Closed all my positions out. I see the hammers/Inverted hammers all over the AUD/NZD pairs, and I'd rather end up in a slight profit than in a deficit.

Closed all AUD/NZD crosses. Let's see what happens. Hopefully we can catch a reversal.

What a week

What I'm saying is if price moves up another 320-420 pips from here and I have 4-8 open BUY positions then I stand to make anywhere from 1,200-3,000 pips.

4 Positions X 320 Pip Movement = 1,200+ Pips

This is definitely not your type of strategy TOK. Like I said last week, you will never be profitable with this system no matter how simple and profitable it is because you simply can't follow the rules and parameters of this system.

Please do yourself a favor and find another strategy to trade. You are obviously a "day trader" or possibly even a scalper. You are only going to cause yourself problems if you stick with this strategy.

You lack the patience necessary to succeed...

I am so confused. I thought this is what you guys were hinting at? I thought this was the correct course of action, considering everything you said, combined with what PA was showing.

Are you saying I should have stayed in and taken a likely loss ?
