Trading EUR / AUD - Flat
By Eliseo Agas | November 8, 2007
Following up on yesterday’s EUR/AUD long idea, I decided to get flat early this morning at the 1.5815 area.
For the same reasons I should have gotten out of my NZD/JPY trade the other night instead of holding, I didn’t feel comfortable with the weakness showing on the 4-hour chart early this morning. Overnight price action basically flat-lined…not what I would ideally expect to see real buying momentum had carried over from the previous session. Again, my entire approach hinges on momentum and follow through in the near-term…not where will it be days or weeks from now. In that vein, of course it’s possible to see this pair higher based on the current technicals. But I’m not in the business of sticking around in a trade that long to find out…too much event risk exposure that I’m unwilling to deal with.
I’m happy to take the money off the table this time around.

Trading EUR / AUD - Sellers Stopped Cold?
By Eliseo Agas | November 7, 2007
Check out the EUR/AUD Daily. We have a rough double bottom indicating that sellers may have finished their onslaught…for now.
The 4-hour chart shows buyers powering up. This is as good as any a point to test the waters with a small probing trade. If we see a break above 1.5740 bid I’ll fee a lot more confident that sellers have probably stepped away.
If on the other hand price action breaks below 1.5495 bid then I’m out.
