good cut

AUD/USD

shanghai copper futures have opened limit down. commodities are copping a proper pasting. aud is certainly resisilliant

AUD/USD

copper already down a further 1.6% on the comex. AUD is certainly bucking the usual relationships. i have sold AUD here as well, looks like today / tonight will be risk off

AUD/USD

if the aud drops on weaker than expected Chinese figures it does not represent a good buying opportunity to me. the aud does seems to be shrugging off Chinese numbers somewhat at present so i guess we will see if there is any reaction on mondays ...

AUD/USD

the logic is that the upside looks limited. Last night base metals and precious were eviscerated on the first Chinese bond default, coal prices remain extremely low and 62% iron ore is now down around $116/wmt, their manufacturing data has fallen ...

AUD/USD

payroll was decent 175k. sold at 9125 prior to the print figuring upside was limited. doesn't show any signs of breaking down against the other crosses though so bought it back 9110. cannot remember seeing metals so flogged and the AUD rallying. ...

AUD/USD

the Chinese Chaori default has just sparked a massive collapse in base metals. copper is currently down 2.9%. am really surprised the AUD hasn't blinked on this news.

does look like a good trade, bid offer spread on IG is really wide though

this was from DB this morning url and have seem similar concerns from other banks / brokers like Credit Suisse about attributing everything to the weather. i think your point about part time work is pretty valid alongside looking at the ...

lets not descend into a pissing contest about who has more money. rather hear about your trades and the logic behind them - be they successful or not

a lot of analysts have been supporting this view recently. with all the news outlets attributing the soft data to the weather quite a few people are now questioning the reliability of this correlation. only point worth raising is that the broad ...

human forex traders are dwindling breed. recent reports show that over 60% of all foreign exchange transactions are automated computer generated trades.

AUD/USD

the macro data lottery, always great when you are on the right side of it. question now is whether the AUD has actually broken up and is set to rally or it is just more of the same - ie short spikes in our time zone that dribbles away in Europe and ...

AUD/USD

it depends on the trader, what data is coming out and if you have a conviction view or not. sometimes people square up prior to big releases as they dont like the volatility for others this is what they trade for. for me its more to know what is ...

AUD/USD

in terms of macro release times there is no delay but i think given many banks have automated algo trading programs they look for milliseconds of advantage that a terminal system would provide. for the average retail punter its pretty slick but ...

AUD/USD

i have access for work but not a terminal, as you can just get it on installed on a local computer or have an access anywhere account. still not cheap though abt 900$ a month. from memory. would want to be trading full time and making pretty decent ...

AUD/USD
