  1. no, I'm comfortable with 608, and even more comfortable if it never gets hit

    I have other things going on, so AUD is just a problem child

    ha, yea man, AUD/USD has been your problem as of late. props for sticking to your guns.

    I'm sure you have something worked out or hedges going on for it but... Aussie is AAA rated with the yield. For a long term play, short AUD/USD... I just can't do it until I see some strong risk-off hit markets.

    China data later in the week.

    *RBA SAYS EXCHANGE RATE HIGH EVEN AMID WEAKER GLOBAL GROWTH

    sir yes sir! lol I don't know bro... I got a few good hours during asia and woke up so energized.

    I will try and get a few more before US session. Europe has been so slow lately anyway. Of course, that's the night it will move like a bastard!

    Dear Journal,

    I highly dislike, borderline hate when I read this new-age volume bar analysis vsa crap, especially when they use words like "upthrust".

    They use no real context at all. That is the last time I will ever say this word. this is just a note to self during boredom. I need to get this off my chest, this is like my scream from a top of a mountain. lol


    ps - taco bell is delicious...
