I clozsed short for profit, but in the meantime I took a short on EURAUD that almost put me in the poor house in 15 minutes . A stroke of luck I doubled down after being down over 100pips and it retraced into range and i got out unscathed. Man, ...

EURUSD

thanks for the tips on this pair... I normally watch it when I am long AUDUSD and it always ruins my party by going up and capping AUDUSD. Clearly I need to take a closer look...geez. that was almost a disaster.

Link — For news purposes. url moving in my favor atm... looking to take profit at 1.6680 ish EDIT had to close with $14 profit. Have to re evaluate. wow...heartattack

Pulling up news to explain this move. All i can find is news on bloomberg indicating that the AUD will reach parity against this dollar this year. this has got to be a stop loss run. I see EUR weakness, AUD strength...hence my position.

What a mistake. — hmm. Unreal. Now I am in damage control mode. it's only 2 minis, but geez...talk about being on teh wrong side. I got hasty thinking I was leveraging against my EUR USD short...which worked but EURAUD completely outpaced it. ...

Wierd EURAUD is locked on my plat form...just my luck. Should have let stop get hit I guess. or maybe there was an erroneous order entered. reopened sinking after hitting a 1.6770 spike...never have seen that before

Short EURUSD and EURAUD — 1.4884 and 1.6707 SL respectively. Just feeling like people might want to take profit on EURO for a couple weeks. Lot of longs out there looking to lock in profits after the 1.50 dream never materialized. Lifted stop ...

Just took a short on EURAUD... Stimulus package good news for AUD and their asian conterparts? SL 1.6707

Commodity Currencies

Alert — I just sold short. Stimulus package passed in Senate. Dollar coming back, NFP payrolls better than expected?? The fact it's giving up the gains from the rate cut, just smells funny. Edit: This might be a short trade 30 pip stop.

EURUSD

What's the clear picture? Looks range bound to me. Triple top, kiss of death Afraid to short it though, for the record....maybe do it with a tight stop. Naa I am just doing easy trades these days. i just looked and notice Dow close in negative ...

No trades today — I think I might head to Atlantic City and play Craps tonight instead.

Cable is a broadly recognized nickname for GBP/USD pair, or the British pound. It's going down because ... well there's no real explanation.

Cable Update (GBPUSD)

Why am I having such a hard time shorting? — The employment news came out, and the price started falling, but I could just not pull the trigger. Something inside me has me terrified to long the dollar, no matter how rosey.

EURUSD

Closed AUDCAD +20 pips 1.2% — not too sure about the long term strength on this position. I'll take my pips for the day.
