    It's one of the cleaner trading currencies (less bullshit) and 6M futures are liquid enough - which is how I prefer to trade it.

    Because we are viewing this as a reversal we have to see the selling come in, which means a decent spread down bar closing near or at the lows with not high volume but decent volume, if I'm not seeing that then I don'y mind closing this trade for a small loss. if we get the engulfing selling i'll add, I usually have a few targets as I'll have a few positions open but 7670 first then some lower targets as a reversal hang on because it will go lower

    Not really. Give me an example. I just look at price action and trend mostly. When I see a market like aud this morning (US time) that should have a normal pullback and shoots beyond, especially after a long run, it gets my attention.

    Was just going to put on a short aud position. Then I saw Nzd. Think I'll wait.

    good, take notice how price approaches levels where a turn could be expected (previous level of selling is one example)
