Do you have an exit strategy?
Well, if the AUD employment numbers are good, I will leave that short GBP/AUD trade open until the end of the day (11:59 PM EST for me, 5AM in London).

AUD/USD is also on fire, this is an excellent sign...

Giulietta (is that the Italian equivalent of Juliet?), you now have earned 30 pips, so you can also liquidate half your position if you want (I assume you have already moved the stop to break-even), that way you are guaranteed to leave the table with at least something, it's up to you.

The AUD /USD is currently pulling back a little, and the GBP/AUD is of course reacting.

Yes that's right. Thanks for that will do.
I feel a bit stupid but I also decided to buy AUD for CHF, EUR and JPY....long for the AUD.
Bad move - hey?

You mean you are also long AUD/CHF, EUR/AUD and AUD/JPY?

Decided to close them all...made a loss - but If left them could have been a lot worse.
Need to work on discipline and having a strategy. I used the Bollinger Bands and EMA - but entry was too late as all were turning the other way.

Short again GBP/AUD at 1.6170, 30 pip stop. 2 positions are now open, short at 1.6177 and this new one.

Long AUD/CHF, AUD/JPY and short EUR/AUD
AUD/CHF has no "meat", small 50 pip intra day range, same thing for AUD/JPY.
Shorting EUR/AUD makes sense but you were already short GBP/AUD so it's like having another short GBP/AUD position.

It should go back to normal in a few minutes.

Now AUD USD must resume its uptrend or else...

AUD/USD on the 15min and 30min charts the trend @50,100 and 200 appear to plateau - do you agree?

On the 5-min all systems are go on the AUD/USD, as far as moving averages are concerned, and same thing for the 15 and 30-min, I cannot ask for more

I can see your 5min as uptrend...but the 15 and 30min I wouldn't say were strong up trends- well according to my chart...confusing!

Yep, same thing here (see chart).

Keep in mind that we could be looking at the beginning of a mega uptrend...

EUR/AUD is also looking good, moving-average-wise (30-min).

Out at 1.6150 on both positions, total +47 pips (27 + 20), I don't like the price action.
