copper had a terrible london open, gapped down aggressively. i was shorting the aud / usd. little jobbing trades 35 pips and then another for 15. anyway you stuck with your plan and you cut. that is really the key.

AUD/JPY

euro yen better for the risk aversion trade. usually usd / jpy is a bit static as US treasuries are also a classic safe haven. euro barely moving either though.

AUD/USD

and bought back again at 8930. look to sell out again at 8950. jobbing and throbbing.................

AUD/USD

i just sold at 8960, figured my 90 order would never happen. big falls on commodities again

AUD/USD

quiet london open, so far looks like more drifting sideways for AUD. precious the biggest mover so far, no meaningful bounce for base metals, asian equities all pretty smashed . looking like the AUD will struggle to catch any solid bids with this ...

AUD/USD

seems to be holding this level 92.25 level

AUD/JPY

come at me bro certainly makes this forum a lot more exciting. money firmly where ever his mouth is. long short whatever

AUD/USD

have to respect a man who isn't afraid to tell the world what is in his account and that he has topped it up. you are rolling with some rude leverage though dude. watch out the markets doesn't come all over you.

AUD/USD

in times past if iron ore dropped 10% in a single session and copper around 10% in 3 days i would have expected to see daily falls on the AUD of between 1 to 2%. so maybe 5% from the high, back down to 87 maybe, possibly even mirror the panic ...

AUD/USD

my account is pretty skint. i was short since monday at 9055 and left a TP order at 9015 last night when going to bed. looked like bottom of range and market was dead. trading with no money in the account sucks but at least it makes you disciplined. ...

AUD/USD

i am a base metals trader by profession but i also trade fx and commodities for myself. issue being that i have a young family and money is tight so my trading activity depends on what is sitting in the account - lately not much........ the aud / ...

AUD/JPY

yes without a doubt i agree with you here. domestic defaults in China are terrible terrible news for us. the question you ask about the potential for 2008 being repeated is why the market has been so spooked and cu and iron have collapsed. my point ...

AUD/USD

afraid that is not correct - not trying to sound all high and mighty just explaining the reality of metals trading. Customers do indeed open a letter of credit for 100% of the cargo value. i receive a customer LC, we arrange pricing, i hedge on the ...

AUD/USD

hope it pans out ok, pls update on your trade. i used to actively trade the aud/jpy. its a good pair if you live in australia as the time zone for each one is active when i am awake. fundamentals certainly have a mass crowd mentality as do markets ...

AUD/JPY

where is the 50 fib level? given the sour macro out of china at present i am favouring shorting the AUD. always like to hear others thoughts and strategies however esp as i am not much of technical trader

AUD/JPY

i can understand your logic. i think the AUD should go lower however it isn't. overseas investors still seem keen on the only AAA rated economy with a yield. given the weakness in metals, iron ore and Chinese domestic data, apart from the US ...

AUD/USD

while corporate bond defaults are a big issue for Australia your argument here is a bit too simplistic, you are blending a corporate trust default with government treasuries and our standard export trade. I am a base metals trader by profession and ...

AUD/USD

USD is struggling in general. pretty limp against all the major crosses despite decent payroll data. assuming there are no major international jitters it should hold pretty strong against the yen on a longer term basis mainly becasuse the US will ...

USD/JPY Discussion

metals & equities staging some sort of mild relief rally. AUD really doesn't want to break down. tempted to close my shorts and try selling again higher

AUD/USD

last night 62% Fe dropped 8.32% to 104.7$/dmt. The 58% grade dropped 9.94% to $95.1 possibly the biggest single day fall in the indexs history
