Quoting 10cents
{quote} This is obviously a different account without your blown up trades of -1000 pips. Why post a different account? Anyway it is your choice to post so i rest my case.
I told you it was a different account, Im not going to show that account for other reasons. 25% dd is hardly a blown up account. It quite common to run an account with a DD, thats trading. If you want to continue gambling with your 10cents go for it.

I don't think it is common to have over 1000pips draw down on just 2 trades (probably -1300 as we speak). These are obviously trades that went terribly wrong.

{quote} I have one chart which shows Daily close .7502. Another shows .7527 Daily close...obviously different time zones. Either way you quittttte get your close below .7500 Today's 4Hr showing pinbar, 2 HR solid but keeps getting knocked back from resistance zone around .7533. However for last hour and a half it has refused to pull back much from there, looks like it will climb through eventually. I'm going to hold my longs for now, have order pending to sell half at .7634 and reduce my exposure. I might have to adjust lower if PA convinces me...

All longs closed. Very small profit. Previously made mistake buying too soon on dips. Glad to be out slightly in front.

A short here around .7570 might be good...stop around .7590(or just above .7600 if you can afford the risk). Standard 30-50pip target. Happy Trading!

Hi PA. I was watching last night when you posted this. Seemed out of character for you. My charts showed no bearish pin bars, bearish engulfing or bearish railroad

tracks. Only a short sharp movement down on 2 H and 1 H charts, which did not go below low on previous 2 or 1 hour charts. AUD had not set LL on daily. Did all the

bearish influence on the AUD threads cloud your previously accurate ability to decipher the charts? I expect you will regain your touch

Short .7654. Going back on charts strong R/S at .767. I think we are turning down from it here. Too strong too long, time for some slack. Looking for 30 plus pips

Thanks for the encouragement! I think you're right on the short around.7660...should be good for 30pips or so. Cheers!

I forgot to ask, did you enter that trade before the drop down to .7620 or was it after the current rally from .7620 up to .7685?

Well, both my 1hr and 4hr charts are a bit messy...no real trend to follow...just the .7500-7700 range still. The Daily chart is still in an uptrend as there hasn't been a Lower High or Lower Low for months(start of uptrend was Middle of January). The market got me last week when the 4hr made a Lower Low and Lower High...but those have been cancelled out with today's rally.

I entered before the drop. Should have taken about 30-35 pips, but looked away for a while and closed it on it's rebound at .7648. Was a very short and quick move down and back up. It happened on all USD pairs I follow. At .769 now and looking likely to test old high of .7723 today. There has been a lot of negative news about economy in Aus. recently, including drop in consumer sentiment in bank surveys released yesterday, but AUD continues to rise. Seems as though the best option continues to be buy the dips. But all the negative news makes it difficult to be confident in a long position.

Do you use limits? If you'd had a limit set for your 30 pips it would have been triggered. 35 & it would have depended on your broker.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Yes Dab, usually use limits when I cannot watch to keep up with trade. But when i had this trade on last night virtually all USD pairs started a rapid drop which looked to me like it would continue, so I didn't close trade. Then I was away from computer for 10-15 minutes and was surprised to find a reversal had occurred on all pairs, so I closed with tiny profit. Also had shorts on NZD, which dropped and rebounded rapidly at same time.closed one BE and one small loss

And there you have it, the .7700 level I said last night it was going too. Bad Aussie news and Worse than expected China trade...yet we are reaching new highs on Aussie. We are back to the old theme of buy Aussie no matter what news is.

Happy Trading!

Yep, that's the last nail into the coffin of local economy. Time to invest elsewhere.

Last Westpac was -2.2%, tonight's was -4.0% (there was no forecast listed)...but it looks worse than the previous to me.(not that I trade news numbers...I only trade how price reacts to it...and price went up, so bulls in control).

Price spiked up because of cny data not Westpac Consumer Sentiment.
