AUD

[ithatheekret]

I had to follow those signals , bought the Yen again too , this ought to be good , don't like when we go opposite directions . Saw the US CPI up a flick , can't say it wasn't expected . Discounted the US housing data too , it was up for once , well sort of .........

Good to see oil dip below $100 , should take a photo . Nat Gas yeehaaa moved past $9 .

commodities are up overnight, but not the AUD. what's the caper?

The fall on Wall Street only partly explains the AUD weakness with the main reason being market positioning. The market got very long the AUD against the GBP and EUR after the RBA Quarterly due to expectations that the RBA would hike at least once and probably twice, while the BOE would be forced to ease and the ECB would stay on hold. The rise and rise in commodity prices also gave support to the argument that you "had to be long the AUD". The hotter than expected French inflation data and much, much better than expected UK Retail Sales data has resulted in hawkish shifts in ECB and BOE expectations and sparked unwinding of the long AUD/GBP and AUD/EUR positions. Also the overnight news out of US works both ways... a lower USdollar is good but the fear of recession growing and its affect/effect via commodes on the skip works tother way... hence a lot of chop.. I thunk...

I'll be looking.. at this early stage.. to buy back in around the 9160-50 area//if all other things line up..

I don't know fellas,

there seems to be forces at work to keep it to 82.00 huge upside tails. every time it goes to break it just finds that wall of selling! it drove me nuts from yesterday to this morning, then I got out of my long not saying this cuz i sold. I am watching with interest.

on other thoughts it will proberly break up, based off my swissy call the other day!

 

[>Apocalypto<]

i am long on the eur/chf

I got set on a 9202 and a 9203 by booboo . Don't know what happened but I crashed big time . Must of done something , the CPU restarted

Went to check if something had shorted around the house . Takes a liitle time to get set up again , def not fast enough . chat bricks , didn't have a stop set , nada , had an entry below it at 9195 , thought I'd be an expensive owner , but nope , we're happy .

Crash on

I had a set limits exit on one entry @ 9245 one @ 9248 , have others above 9250 , with two @ 92.80 and another @ 93.00 the last two are dregs held over from the last two days , well in the money .

Have enough space except for the 9202 and 9203 entries , those I have to keep an eye on , each are 5 unit pozzies . Up 1.5K , got to contain myself , have this habit , a grands a grand thing , get a few and you've got ...... a house deposit , hey Kauri ( she knocked it back mate ) .


PS .... my trading says if it ain't over a grand and well past last support area don't roll it play it out to the best and walk away holding only lower dregs .

I noticed not many scalpers here hold the lowest dreg on upticks . These end up as positions , with the lowest risk .

I tend to hold winners from a night that exceed $2K and are above the lowest support previously set , with many in and outs , some closed ina batch that may see some closed at break even , some at $50 up , $100 , $150 , $200 etc etc and so on . Those little but oftens are the running costs and skimming cream of the trades .

I've been interested in if any others plan trades like this .

Just below that is what I have as intra support .... hourly supp ? bit below the last peak ( 9230), been a very bullish trend .
Have price above cloud in most periods , but watching now on 5min cloud approach ..... Hong Kong harbour ........
