Hi Bob,

Only trade technicals.Nothing else.

I am selling because it broke below 1.0157.

Also I like to sell 61.8% fib retacements on daily swings.

See what happens.

AUD/USD is sell on rallies (target 0.9970 at least), successful close above 1.3315 would change the scenario though imvho

 

Hi Eurocat

Great name.

Why do you what to short the $AUD/ USD?

Kind regards

Hi Eurocat,

Ended up getting short at 1.0126 my stop is at 1.0170 now.

Hopefully it will keep going down :)

When I enter a trade I just work out at what point I am wrong and put my stop at that number.So I always work out risk first.

I let the market do the rest.

I always use trailing stops

Win some lose some.

I was waiting for a close below 1.0090 to confirm bearish outlook and it happened..next an expected retracement to the broken support level (1.0160) and turned to south. it was down to 0.9981...seems i was wrong 11 pips...i was expecting 0.9970...anyway, I still prefer sell on rallies strategy to go to 0.9820/0.9780 area

Hi, I basically trade the same way.Wait for a break of a level and then buy or sell the retracement. Work off the higher timeframes with about 3 hours actual screen time max per day.Levergae of no more than 3:1 and risk about 2% per trade.Get my stop to break even as soon as possible so I get a free look at it .

Hi, nice entry.

 

Just wondering how you manage your trade. Your target of 97 is 400 odd pips away, do you go all in all out, or take profit along the way, or trail your stop?..... or maybe you add! :cool:

 

...anyway nice call.

Hi,

I open 3 lots and take 1 lot off at around 100 pips or whatever I can get after 48 hours.Then I trail my stop to about 5 pips above previous days high. If I get stopped out I will re-enter if I think the trend is still valid. I have been trading fx for about 10 years and found that day trading just doesn't work for me.Also I hate sitting on the screen.So if I get in a decent trade I give it a bit of room and hopefully it will last days or even a week or so.

I like the way you do it. But don't you think that trailing the initial stop to BE too soon can take you out too early ? I often get in that situation .

 

.Get my stop to break even as soon as possible so I get a free look at it .

Nice profit:)

 

AUD bulls hit 1.0380 wall but I have a feeling that we may see that number again soon...Anyway, waiting for another breakout meanwhile...If it can break 1.0380 then 1.0480/1.0500 next, however a close below 1.0280 indicates it will go back to 1.0170

    • Here’s something few are talking about: The Chinese are printing money like it's going out of style. Not that you'd hear about it in the mainstream news. But Bitcoin knows.   Bitcoin always knows.   Here’s the thing…   When the Chinese government prints money to paper over the cracks, their smart money doesn't sit around waiting to get devalued.   It usually flows into three things: Bitcoin, gold, and dollars.   After years of being beaten down, gold's having one of its best years in decades. But here's the secret -- whatever gold does, Bitcoin's going to do it bigger.   Much bigger.   Since last November, when China started their printing spree, Bitcoin's been moving in near-perfect correlation with the People's Bank of China's balance sheet. Over 80% correlation, maybe even 90%.   Again, few are talking about it.   But here's why this matters right now: This could be the beginning of a huge breakout in the crypto markets.   Bitcoin broke above its July high, and historically, that's led to new all-time highs over 90% of the time. The only times it failed? COVID and the 2022 bear market.   That's it.” – Chris Campbell   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/     
    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to. But you'll be different. You'll know it was your hard work, your inner strength and your commitment to living a great life that made you successful and brilliant - not luck or good genes.” – Tom Corson-Knowles, Quora Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
