{quote} OMG, what happened? Are you long or short. You should be happy if you are short. The bearish movement earlier on doesn't goes well with the bulls.
Hey Ssm,

I made the number one Rookie mistake of "Guessing" which direction the market was going to move before the announcement, getting it wrong, then opening positions to cover my losses, of which made it worse, because I was opening positions WAY tooooo early.

So I went long, got it wrong, then started opening long positions too early.

Anyway, the market did turn in my favour and I walked away without a loss...

The feeling that "I must act now or I will miss the big score is quite natural but of course very dangerous".

There is ALWAYS a better opportunity but we may miss it if we aren't patient. Be diligent and write down your reasons for initiating a trade beforehand. It will help you make higher probability trades and will also help in analyzing failing trades afterwards.

Good luck to you, one green pip at a time

Looking back I cannot recall precisely what caused my view of 9370 to be a good short area for the AUD but when I saw the bar with the arrow on the attached chart, I felt confident about holding a short into the announcement.

It was also through the day Tuesday (early morning for the US East coast) that the 9310 area started to develop as a short target area. So, between the 9370 target area and the 9310 area developing also blended with the announcement, well, I felt the risk was worth the reward.


..apologies for what seems like a unstudied view. This is my third day back in after about a 6 year "live break". It's been a period of looking at my own system more carefully and understanding the market better than I did before. Truth is in the numbers. The numbers do predict and give solid information on over value and under value levels.

I'll keep looking for the trigger and update.....

Depends on timeframe.

Trading forex on the mobile is useful. Homework needs to be done on Desktop Trading platform before going out.

Glad that things work out for you and you are able to escape unhurt. Your returns are pretty impressive for a newbie.

IMO, due to the huge bearish movement yesterday, any longs (not scalping) below 93 is dangerous. Below 93, we are still in bears territory. Only we have a candle close (at least H4) above .9315, then we might be bullish.

I only uses MT4 mobile apps to monitor my trades on the move.
The true fact is market doesn't care, risk mgt is important.

Price was flat on low volume. Yesterday's loss in value had little retrace. To me this indicates a lack of buyers. I am expecting .9250 to be tested soon.

Au/Us on downtrend, retrace at .9310/15. Sell with TP1 0.9225/30, TP2 0.9200/05, TP3 0.9130/35. Buy if breakout retrace with TP1 0.9375/80, TP2 0.415/20, TP3 0.9460/65.
Good Luck

I don't disagree with the sentiment, I do believe a move to the 9320 area would sure solidify it...

Personally I am still waiting for the AUD to drop like a stone or a meteor back down to the 0.89 level but every time we get bad data the AUD is supported / bought by UK and US investors.

On another forum, an ex investment banker had a great tip.. Don't short currencies that have good interest rates.. I am starting to think along these lines for the AUD, been burn't badly shorting the AUD.

Currently holding the following trades.
Short AUDUSD @ 0.92712
Short Silver
2 x Long Gold

Australian completed yesterday's review, after standing in the range 0.9270-9310. I see update yesterday's low and price's return in the current zone and then increase above.
