{quote} This pair has better chance of long than aud/usd. I am long here but probably closing some before NFP just in case spike again
Where price is now, it has been before, and will be again.

{quote} You may be right but I'm not sure. You know theres no way AUD should be so weak.They literally have stuff coming out of the ground!Generally the same stuff as the US is trying to sell

Cable is better pair to try longs compared to AUD, because BOE is the only other contestant right now vs Fed who could possibly raise interest rates higher. Plus we all know RBA and RBNZ and the others will never raise for a long time since they have economic downturn....
Generally, the bullish pair are the ones who attract more big money and this usually happens because of the higher probability of interest rates being raised first. Tomorrow MPC minutes coming out, sparks more hope in people too so you can try a small long into the hype... if it sounds hawkish or more people want hikes within the board instead of the usual 2, cable may spark a rally (again).

Hello everyone. Been a while but I'm now looking at getting back on this monkey for the ride up.I shorted this back in June/July but dropped a bollock taking all my profit at 1.67x. Lost my way then and went onto some other pairs. I'm now seeing accumulation together with swap to the long side staring to increase.I'm building a position on another couple of pairs so don't want to overload. Anyone else sharing the view?

{quote} I see where you're coming from but the swap is just too attractive on AU. My brokers paying my grocery bill at the moment on that pair! LOL!
lmao i know. i ever done this before -> hold aud or nzd losing trades until the swap was more than enough to offset the loss in pips
gbp rates are much lower so we cant afford to do that.
