Easy GBP/AUD, you super freak.

 

That stupid 1.8133 support line just won't let go.

 

That's more like it.
Can I have my usual 50 pips now please, shaken not stirred?

 

+30 pips, stop is now at breakeven on that short GBP/AUD position.

That means the GBP/AUD could drop 50 or 100 pips instantly.
Or it could hit my break-even stop pronto.

Good luck to all the AUD traders out there.

 

Stopped out at break-even. Boy, that was fast.

Don't worry GBP/AUD, I will get you next time.

 

This position was prematurely closed at break-even (to avoid nasty surprises from the AUD retail sales report last night).

Too bad, I could have collected an extra 100 pip.
