Fallen enough Long

Australian Dollar/U.S. DollarFXCM

Description

Never catch a falling knife - unless it reached the bottom. It looks like if we see the latter case here now.

we need a higher low to confirm

I still maintain a bearish bias, but I agree this correction may continue almost up to 0.825.
jangseohee
which is decent enough profit :-)

I agree with you. I don't exclude the continuation of the downward trend as well. That's why I keep this position tiny and of course not without a stop. But I want to be in the number if the trend begins to change. Thus I risk a bit loss which won't hurt me.

You were right this time. I've been stopped out.
jangseohee
One big advantage of jumping the gun is you get big profit if you are right and minimize your losses
since i do not day trade, once price at at the edge of channel, i will average my long/short and hold them until i am wrong

It is a good strategy as well, I think. Thus you combine a trend following srtrategy with a contrarian one.
jangseohee
sort of my contrarian only comes into play after prolong uptrend or downtrend
or my emotional indicator sets in

Thanks. :-) Anyway, right or wrong, it's all about following a strategy that proves to be profitable at the end of each month...
