I just started trading the AUD USD in the past month but noticed that every single time we get a price spike on news you can always wait for the end of the 5 min candle and fade it all the way back plus some.... everytime

Made a few pip's on the return. But in all seriousness, the market is not liking any good news about the AUD.

Fun times ahead.

Yeah what was that drop all about? That HSBC PMI Composite data wasn't even on the FF news. Or it could be that that gdp data was already priced in and was a one-shot deal. The price is dropping to exactly where it was before the data release.

Just a bored American living my life in the USA. I'm sorry if my post came off as condescending. It's just a lot of people who post here clearly lack any sort of trading strategy and blindly take trades, sometimes getting lucky and sometimes not. If your strategy can't explain why price spikes like it does, you need a new strategy.

Also, for the love of all that is holy, if you are trying to find a news explanation for why price did what it just did, you aren't a successful trader. These kind of events happen in the market. These kind of events are unplanned. More importantly, you will never be able to plan for all news events. Whenever I see posts like these, I can tell that the person "trading" has never bothered testing his strategy for more than twenty seconds. It's simultaneously hilarious and frustrating.

Very very good points.. I thought I told it like it was (hard line) but you sir get my thumbs up.
Yesterday I took advice from SSM and placed my trades in the morning and then went outside to play on the swings. At one stage I had two trades in the red.

-3000+ AUD - did I panic, no because these trades were placed using the daily and weekly time frame.

Price goes up, price goes down. News jolts the market every now and then but you need to trade to your margin, giving you the flexibility to take a hit or ride a storm. I could have closed at -3000 but the daily was telling me it would go down, the fundamentals were telling me it would go down so these trades will seen green pips.

Yeah but I would still like to know how come that HSBC PMI Composite data was not on the FF Calendar if it's that important of a news that could cause such a drop.

its a fair question. seems like they just cherry pick what they think is most important. to get all market releases real time you need a paid service like Bloomberg.

Costs $2000 a month for a Bloomberg terminal with dedicated T1 lines. I checked.

Thanks so much for the info. But according to the number, AU should be going up higher? The number is higher than that of the last month.
