Morning Punters. AUD @.7225 I've been harping on about the Australian economy going off the boil for some time now. Not that Im a pessimist but just an observation into the fundamentals before making a decision on a trade. Many have noticed the unemployment number has stabilized yet it doesn't seem to reflect whats occurring in the economy. Here maybe the answer as someone has decided to dig a little deeper and no doubt been puzzled too. http://www.news.com.au/finance/work/...5807cffb310f22...
You are nota pessimist, you are a realist. I don't understand those who buy AUD. In my opinion it's kind a stupid. It has been falling for the last 3 years. What is the reason to buy for 20-40 pips I really don't know. This pair is going down. I said 3 years ago, 2 years ago, 3 months ago and a month ago. There is only one way - down. I would probably consider a long position when we will reach 0,625 and the RBA will get to half percent, but before that any longs are out of the question.

Whilst I agree with your general direction of down at present and also don't advocate buys of 20-40 pips your reference to saying this pair is going down 3 months ago is bizarre. At that stage price was only a third of it's way into a 1000 pip up move. Some will be buying looking for this sort of return, others may be scalping the 20-40 pips, each to their own (assuming they have a trading plan and are following it). (I'm also not suggesting that now is the time to be looking for 1000 pips up, just that price doesn't just travel one direction.)
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

If you look at monthly chart you can notice without a doubt that this pair was going down 3 months ago and 2 months ago and a month ago. Those 1000 pips you are mentioning are just a small bump on the road down. I don't look at that sort of a small bump. I want to understand the big picture. Small daily trends don't interest me on this pair. The price travels in one direction, only slowly, we will see new lows in the near future.

The trend is definitely bearish, but I am waiting for a breakout below the previous low at 0.7175 to open a new short.

Apart from bearish monthly movement, weekly also strongly bearish. For those who trade using Bollinger bands, two weeks ago bearish candle strongly closed below Bollinger Middle Band, and last weekly candle strongly retested Middle Bamd. Middle Band acts like support/resistance. Also on monthly you would observe how monthly strong bullish candle was strongly stopped by Bollinger Middle Band. AUDUSD strongly bearish for now on longer time frames. Any bullish movement may just be a retracement.

AUD @.7195

RBA Stevens suggesting that inflation is weaker than first thought .

Question - Did he have a thought or was still believing inflation was the enemy ?

Anyway if that isn't a signal to dump the Aussie dollar from the only Aussie bull (stevens) I don't know what is.

A very bear centric thread (which is a good thing) because i get to see many different perspectives from my own.

Anyway, my unpopular posting being a contrarian trader. I don't chase 500- 1000 pips because my positions are fairly huge, thus a change in market conditions can wipe me out easily. Anyway, with current market positioning, to obtain 1000pips profits will take a long time because most of the time, it is ranging. Nonetheless, to each his own.

Some traders may think nothing of 10- 50pips, however, everyday 20pips will earn me approx 5k. 20working days in a month * 5k = 100k.
Some say 20pips is very little, but to me, that's more than sufficient.

I don't doubt the bearish trend currently, but every direction the market moves is an opportunity to earn.

I can't understand when people try to scalp a huge falling candle for 10-20 pip retrace with a big position, I mean I did those mistakes in my early years and blew one or two accounts like that. Sure sometimes it works out if you can manage your greed, and one day you'll swimming in pips while another spike will blow your heart.
Not worth at all when the trend provides pips galore, but to each it's own.
I do buy double size against my position at times but even that doesn't work out more than half the times. Now I'll be waiting for 7150 for a 20 pips retrace but the initial shorts will stay as long this baby goes towards 65c.

No wonder especially after such a bearish comments this morning. I can't recall when someone has given so much clarity in a speech for the markets.
