Hey dudes, Been trading quite some time but new to this pair - have been watching PA last few days and my long orders have just been triggered with various TPs back to the 93 zone.
Ya got ya plan in place then trade it ..

Don't let any influences let you deviate.. many a time ive seen guys talked out of a plan only to lose money and the worse of them all is when they do the opposite of their plan ..

Based on my personal views it would be nice to long with a nice sl of 0.8970 and a tp of 0.9300 good risk reward but from fundamental point it's suggesting me to short. Can't wait for fomc later..
Stevens said inflationary data leaves room for additional rate cuts. It may be pricing it in hear for a sell the rumor buy the fact shite. Although, it is possible for another run at .93, I won't get bullish until it breaks out.

I rather wait for consolidation to short. I can see .86-.87 by fall.

hi eatpips
you are more experienced than i am but i wanted to understand your rationale a bit more
based on my view of the chart i saw recent price action as breaking through previous upward resistance around .936 and in the last few weeks we retraced towards these levels only to be brought back down this week
does this not resemble more a downward continuation...i.e. broke resistance, retested and now continuing down (granted we are only half way through the week)

i have attached my weekly chart to make it clearer

would like to hear your views again

Not looking good. Aussie still no willingness for .93 break. It will retest the lows. {image}
So, basically... you can never, or hardly ever, go wrong with an Aussie short. You would seriously think traders would get longs out of their vocabulary at this point.

Seems all the green pips are in favor of the short position, but long term support at .9000. Gotta wait and see if we can break that.

I went long. Staying long. Below the .9000 zone is premature at this point. Certainly ahead of the Fed's announcement tomorrow. The Fed will NOT taper. Too much risk doing it prematurely than waiting another half year to see reliable data. Especially ahead of NFP numbers Friday. The fed can taper anytime they want. They don't have to wait on press releases to announce. Even if they did, they can have ad hoc ones at any time. Like I said. I am staying long.

As for full disclosure I am managing a Demo account. It isn't real money.

Also, A lot of volatility coming up in the New York morning session as the non-farm payroll numbers come out. One of my favorite times in the market each month.

I can give you that a break + close below, and I think it will be a bloodbath IMO. I don't believe Aussie will fine a "true" bullish sentiment until a break of .93

I wouldn't go and short it just anywhere, but if you pick your entries well they pay off.

Retail open position ratio (at Oanda) more lopsided than yesterday. However, their average price might be so much more underwater (vs shorts average price) that it might not be as good of an indicator as yesterday.

(not directly to 2+2=4ex. Just commenting on what you shared with us)

There seems to be an abundance of martingale-esque traders for some reason (in regards to traders trying to average out losing positions). Always add to losses and never to wins; it's quite odd. With the FOMC today, weird price action may happen. Aussie could be due for a little bounce if, and only if, .9 is not taken out. Conversely, I believe that it will be under pressure today.

Hey dude,

Im not a fundamental trader, however much percentage that may influence the market, I don't get involved with news and only trade what I see on the charts.

Looking at the daily on this pair, yet to close higher or lower in the last 29 days within the current range. And being back at the bottom of this box on the last day of the month, having tested this area 7 times and the upper area 13 times, i'm placing my trade on the upper side. It's not an ideal trade, but like I mentioned in my post yesterday, I am new to this pair so am risking very minimal to get in on the action and see how she plays. Im more of a Yen pair man but just broadening my horizons by being curious with other pairs.

On the weekly you can also the see the open gap where this pair hasn't visited for a very long time. There is more chance of it to reverse than to continue from my experience of trading with other pairs.

Saying that, there is no guarantees in Forex and I trade what I see. This pair could also potentially blow through my SL and continue making new lows.

Just my view
