Ryan's Review 9/1/2010 (AUDUSD, GBPUSD, and EURUSD)

Published on Wednesday September 1st, 2010 at 02:54PM by buruguduy

Not a good trade of trading. I gave away my winnings from yesterday. Here's the skinny:

1.) AUDUSD



Price broke out of yesterday's low on better-than-expected Australian GDP data, so I decided to go long. I didn't ride the move all the way up and caught like 10% of the move because price consolidated for a bit before shooting up again. I thought the upmove was going to fade out. Still go $9 off this trade.

2.) GBPUSD



The first GBPUSD trade was similar to AUDUSD. I just put a straddle prior the manufacturing PMI (came out worse-than-expected) to ride where price will go. My sell stop got triggered and I was able to scalp 3 pips off this thing for $3.

The second trade isn't exactly a day trade because I plan to hold it overnight. I decided to go short because the 61.8% Fib seems to be holding and I don't see any reason for price to rally further. I see this move up as a relief rally, especially since the overall move is still downwards.

3.) EURUSD



Two failed trades on this pair today. I might've forced it but I thought at that time they were good trades. Check the chart for my rationale for taking both trades.

    Update: I decided to close my Cable short at 1.5421 (from 1.5469). Yay! It completely erased my losses for the day and even gained $20 after!
