I have a few longs on GBPCAD currently +48 avg. Targets 20408 and 20499
Decided to close as the 15M and 1H were starting to show mean reversion and I didn't want to give back my winnings.
There will be another chance to get 20408, possibly later tonight.

GBPCAD out net +67

RBNZ cuts by .25BP ......any gains due to not cutting .5BP will provide a very good short opportunity IMO.

The drop in GN stopped right on a lower TL on the 1H. if that fails below 23493, that's my trigger. Of course a retrace and test of 23600 would also be good.

I've still got the AUDUSD shorts. I am convinced that the Asia currencies are going to be devalued and in stress due to interest rate rise of USD (ie. Higher Dollar)

I got in too early on the EA, so had to nurse a drawdown. Target is 15224

Morning All!

Seeing AUD weakness continuing. EUR strength but I see this as positioning for a short above 11060.
USD is my barometer on that, especially against CHF, as higher highs keep getting cleared - if USD is insuring that CHF is devalued then what does that really say about EUR vs Fed Rate Hike... The latter is the event of the year, no question.

Closed my AUD Shorts for a measly 5 net pips. Will be looking for a better position to build shorts... I may just wait for a breakout with pending orders as I'm busy at work this week.

I have a small long EURAUD, just testing Franky.

I think this move could be ending. Now the trendline in wheat seems to be reached, as well as the round number, so perhaps a bounce is to be expected...

I closed a GCAD Long from 20289 for -35 early this morning. What a shite!

I'm Long on AUD. This is counter to my overall short bias (based on Weekly) where my targets are still 6992 and 6749.
AUD could retest 7400 or 7600 (at worst) ... but i don't think much higher.... probably Daily 50EMA @ 7534ish.

Still, that's decent counter trend pippage, but it doesn't mark an up trend - just consolidation within the Daily Bollinger (set to 20,2)
