  2. Do you think the EUR/AUD will not drop further?

  3. I suspect it will but I wanted to sleep easy last night and I'd already taken a couple hundred pips out of it, in addition to a 50pip gain on a 1 hour GBPJPY trade, so I thought it best to close all my positions and take a break. The way EURAUD moves I could have lost my entire gain in 1-2 hours.



    GREAT CALL DavidMaria.... I'm still happy I got some easy sleep haha.

  7. The weekend's EURAUD chart - these are the ones I pay special attention to. This week has closed out and we're now seeing a clear picture of what's what.

    I'm using 25x5 and 7x5 DMAs. The white line is 25x5. EURAUD is retesting this and if it holds on a daily I'm going to continue/add to my short position. If it breaks and closes above on more than a fakeout I'll close out.

    The gap down has been successfully filled. Let's see if it breaks.

  8. We should know if we're good if the 4hr price closes below its own 25x5.
