AUD / USD UPDATE: 31.01.2013 04.45HRS

AUD / USD:

Price has retraced to the averages as expected.

However my orders were to conservative and the high of the pull back was at 1.0435. (10 pips from my first order)

As you will see from the chart below, the stochastic didn't get to the overbought region, so the pull back was weak. As you would imagine this is good as I am selling. It is not good when it happens at 2AM and I am unable to adjust my orders to get into the trade.

My orders has not been hit and I have removed them.

See chart below

 
I will update again when the next strategy trade has been identified.

GBP / AUD:

I have been stopped at break even.

My stop loss was at 1.5069.

The spread has widened over night (the quiet period) and it has taken me out.

The high from last night on the chart is 1.5063

Price is now down at 1.5035 in profit by 0.5%, not going to change the world just yet, however it was a good position.

GBP / AUD UPDATE: 29/01/2013 17:21HRS

GBP / AUD:

Price has pulled back and my first order at 1.5070 has been hit.

I had adjusted the levels slightly before the trade was triggered, therefore the initial stop loss was at 1.5110.

I am now short with 0.5% exposure and a 40 point stop loss.

Price has made its move away from the entry and I have been able to move the stop loss to break even eliminating the risk on the position.

Chart below:

 
I will hold the position until either my limit or stop loss order is hit.
 
I will update again tomorrow morning.
 
Have a good evening
 
Regards
