Still in an significant downtrend. All rallies will bet met with sellers. Aussie at the moment is an neutral currency in terms of relative strength. Will continue to slide against dollar and slightly against the yen and nzd. Will crush the upside against European currencies, chf, eur, and gbp.

i'm going long on AUDNZD
expensive spread but it does hold against the 1.165 resistance TP at 1.175
don't overlook these minor pairings just because the buy/sell spread is huge

It's getting very predictable with Aussie. Starts the week on the upside to get the bottom pickers to think the bottom is in this week. Then, either Tuesday or Wednesday, the heavy hitters run it down hard the rest of the week to clean out the stops and collect the spoils;-))) Will it happen again this week? Can't be 100% sure but this recipe has been a good one for 11 of the last 12 weeks;-)) {image}
No big dogs biting on this today! The eur, gbp, and chf had the predictable bank run at 10:00am New York so this pair has no legs now and should collapse under it's own weight. Good idea to short in now before Bernanke talks, as this will pull the rug.

Closed short positions on this pair & gold, another cheeky 100 pips between them so total 175 yesterday. Waiting now for Uncle Ben & Aussie jobs data for tomorrow morning (Aussie time) think it's just going to be waaaay too volatile to predict the direction & don't like trading small lots with massive SL just for the sake of a market moving speech. Yep agree with others here looking at other non USD pairs for now

{quote} if you believe the pair has significant downside, swap really shouldn't be a problem.
So I shouldn't consider it a problem that the broker takes 0.3 pips commission overnight via swap fees, because, if I make a big winning trade then I can afford it?

I don't understand the lack of transparency surrounding the brokers swap rates . Most of them don't even communicate on that. I need to open a demo account to get an idea of what they charge.

to be quite blunt: swaps are annoying; but if you have to worry about the swap, then maybe you should not trade until you have a setup where the swap does not bother you. You'll never lose money NOT trading!

My broker (IG Markets) started charging a higher % for swaps admin fee on minis 1st April so I've been planning to look into other brokers, just haven't had the time as wife and I recently had our first child. It is very disappointing that swaps aren't transparent but then if they are 'preying' on people who just try out FX than spreads are likely to be understood before swaps so they make their money where they can. Not great for holding long term clients but if lots of people go broke why focus on that? Would be interested in results of your search. Will also be interested in my broker response when I stop trading with them.

Pepperstone and Forex CT are two that I've been recommended by friends but no idea what their swaps are like.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

I hear you. I am not trying to argue that swap fees will turn me into a loser. Just trying to understand and avoid unnecessary extra fees

The Aussie is going it crash, the question is when? we have bad news all week but no response, either it will happen later with the FOMC meeting minutes or when AU employment figures are released. This rise is a bull trap imho....

Doubt whether the Aussie will break 0.9270, before crashing down!!!!

Third day of waiting for this sucker to give a continuation signal.

Hi, Are there any of you shorting the AUD/USD over weeks rather than intraday ? I was willing to do that but every forex broker I could find (Australian based) take a huge margin on the swap ( 10.2 points overnight with ICMarket instead of 7.5...).
yes, big swaps. My swing trade timed out today with 0.45 risk loss. Time stop gets you out so you not paying swaps day after day. Other option is use futures where swap is the fairest.

Alot of traders trying to enter shorts since yesterday and all they see is red pips by now.
I wonder how the employment data would look, and I got a feeling alot of traders will be surprised of the results and alot of computer screens will get broken
Im staying bullish.

" FED is depreciating GOLD"

Reasons:

1. By having cheap gold FED will cover paper dollars by gold. That will make dollar stronger for a long time. That will help to exit from big national debt of trilions of dollar.

2. Buy depreciating GOLD, the FED will crash down the biggest economy of strong competitor China. That will create new crysis not in U.S but in EUROZONE,AUSTRALIA and rest of the world. EURO/DOLLAR will hit 0.8.

3. After covering dollar by gold FED will start new program that will make gold prices to rise. They will rise GOLD to 3500-4000$.

GOT IT? That is secret information.

Bernanke will speak first, and only then will employment information!

First DOWN and then up ..... At least I think so
