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

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

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
