{quote} that's because if a trader was planning to long, these would be the ideal prices
Technically, we're are 1,600 pips since the massive crash. Traders thought every price decline was ideal only to watch their little Aussie dreams turn into nightmares.

Despite drop in Aussie-Dollar, retailer's open position ratio continues to get more lopsided... {image}
I have seen that be totally wrong. I wouldn't place bets on it; more like a contrarian index. retailers think "oh, wow! 143 pips down. They hit Cramer's buy, buy, buy" button only to watch it consolidate, maybe retrace 50-60 pips to decline further. The trend is obvious down since like forever it seems. I would stay out of the long business and just be patient enough to load shorts. It's higher probability than to hope this thing rips up at some point.

When I post the open position ratios illustration, why do so many people assume I'm saying follow the crowd??

I am posting it as a contrarian indication! Read the post before you comment!
Even more open longs (vs shorts)...

Whats your move with loading shorts in face of the U.S. data coming out in the morning? Could be some big movement.

I am relaxed. You have no idea how relaxed I am right now.

To answer your question, yes, you were replying to my post. For starters you quoted it. Then started your reply with "I have seen that be totally wrong" (incorrect assumption I might add) and then followed it up with "more like a contrarian indicator" (which is what I was getting at). Now maybe I'm crazy, but how can one not think that was not a reply to me?

Just sayin'

Yea some traders. You posted something, and I replied with a general comment about what you posted. Read the context next time. For now on I will reply:

To 2+2=4ex and not to 2+2=4ex to clarify things

I referred to you, as in your person, not once in the comment. I did refer to your content. Just sayin

Then why didn't you just say, 'oh that's a good contrarian index' instead of "that is more like a contrarian index"? It's okay, you can admit it, you totally assumed incorrectly and in saying, "I have seen that totally be wrong". You obviously thought I was implying that's a good indication to buy when I wasn't. Again, no shame in admitting a mistake. None of us are perfect.

Lastly, you don't have to name someone by their actual name to address them or respond to them. So you may not have said: to 2+2=4ex, but we all know who you were addressing. It was obvious in the "context".
Fellows, can someone find the bottom? I believe 9030 is the first target for now?

I suppose you might be using a smaller time frame with 9030.

On the weekly I have ~.85

Clearly, you cannot read the context. You can play with words as you like. The only thing I must admit is that it is funny watching you try to make something out of nothing.

Your original comment referred to retail traders as did mine. You can reread it if you like. I mentioned that I have seen the Oanda thing and seen price action contrary to what it shows.

Perhaps, next time I can spell it out so you're not so confused.

I don't have any Aussie on the books. Shorted the rejection of 200 exponential MA, but been out for a little while. In a pair like this, I just don't mess with trying to pick bottoms.

And in my previous comment, I didn't say I was loading short ahead of something. I said in this type of decline, the long position is more of guesswork. The weekly range is .90-.93. The last month has been within this range. I most likely would not look unless it broke out the top with momentum, but this week's candle, all few hrs of it has just about erased two weeks of gains.

I agree with you.

Don't worry. There's no confusion. It's all written out for everyone to see clearly who's playing with words. Yes it may be trivial stuff and I could of let it slide, but just wanted to point out you assumed incorrectly so others reading wouldn't take it incorrectly like you did. That's all. Wasn't making a big deal of it, hence the "just sayin'". You're the one turning a mole hill into a mountain. Aside from that you do seem to have an ego problem however. You can't admit you made a mistake in your assumption. Hopefully (for your sake) you are not so stubborn in your trading. Take it easy mate!
I'm off to bed. Good luck all.
