I am always looking at AUDUSD. Partly because I need to manage my USD exposure in my trading account. Anyway, I see AUDUSD trading in a tight range and potentially moving to 0.68-ish level. I am watching. On the other hand, I do not ignore the possibility of breaking down, and back to 0.63…AGAIN.

Some statistics:
Here is the faceoff between Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer. Following his famous ‘CNBC gives financial advise’ episode. He was grilling Jim Cramer 😆 I’m loving it!
Full episode can be found here. Enjoy! Have a good laugh!
As mentioned in my Twitter, I was looking at Long Euro and short Cable. GBPUSD went without me. I managed to Long entry of EURUSD. Around +70 pips. It might go up further, but, who cares, profit target was taken.

This is an interesting and useful clip to explain credit crisis.

A couple of blog posts that I found it to be useful. Enjoy reading.
I am quoting this from Tremble Hand Trader.
you don’t need more stuff you just need to practice what you have. That the endless search for market knowledge is wasted time. You are better taking what you know and testing and practicing that to death. After you have the basics everything else is just another layer of wasted complexity. What’s required is working on your strengths – niche development.
Sometimes, we just forget. Again and again we spent time readings books, blogs, forums to search for new strategies, new systems or the worst, new indicators. Focusing on what we’ve already known, practise repeatedly, enhance it and develop it to become our unique edge. I like the term, niche development.
Here is another post from TraderFeed
It could be argued that the mechanical accuracy of the trading method would be less important to long-term success than the trader’s ability to adapt to market shifts with risk management that takes maximum advantage of periods of valid signals and minimizes risk during periods of invalid ones.
I fully agree with the importance of developing the ability to adapt to market shifts. Nothing is going to work forever, being able to see the change and develop a plan to work in the current environment is the way to go.
I was thinking of posting some analysis, some charts here. I gave up the idea. There are blogs out there writing much better analysis than I do. Anyway, looking at the weekly chart, I would not think it is a good idea to continue shorting EURUSD. Well…I am not talking about day trading. You got the point.
In term of Forex day trading, this was a pretty quiet week for me. I missed one trade, made one winner, and watched from sideline for the rest of the week. In addition, I have been doing some futures trading on ES lately, I see trading opportunities that I have not seen before. I see good progress. I’d see if it is possible to bring my futures trading back to routine.
Something shocking, and interesting happened this week. I experienced earthquake in Melbourne! Well, a tremor to be exact. 4.7 magnitude earthquake happened around 96km away from Melbourne. I was sitting on the couch with my wife, watching Ramsay’s Hell Kitchen (did I tell you , I am fan of this f*ker? 😆 ), and the apartment was shaking for 5 to 10 seconds. Seriously, I didn’t know what to do other than waiting for it to stop, and immediately rushing out from my apartment. Nothing really serious, but this is a special experience. Who would expect earthquake in Melbourne?
Back to trading. Ocasionally, I would discuss or share my trading ideas on Twitter. In case you are interested, you can find me here.
