Opening long NZD and AUD positions again from lows

I am starting to open long positions Aud and Nzd again

Buying Nzd and Aud positions from lows has been the tactic this month
I am stuck with a few Usd shorts for now,
but I don't trust them anymore now that they are not moving down fast enough
I have opened a NzdUsd long from support/deep retracement last week
and will be looking to go long more Aud and Nzd crosses

Decided to hold longs AUD and NZD for a littlewhilelonger

I have opened a few longs Aud and Nzd crosses

I am not seeing any pullback in the market for Aud and Nzd pairs
which leads me to believe that there might be more room up for these pairs
I am long AudJpy and NzdJpy as the Yen is weaker now against the USD
I will be looking to buy Aud and Nzd pairs on retracement levels

Closing long positions today NZD and AUD

I have closed my long positions Aud and Nzd today

I was up to 230K today and decided to close my positions for now
I am not sure if Nzd and Aud crosses are still moving up
I had a GbpNzd short that lost me some pips,
and I am looking to switch to another opportunity now

Looking to add to USD longs at market open

I will be looking to add to my Usd long position this week

At market open my UsdNok long is still alright
I will be looking to add another Usd long position now that the weekend leverage
is out of the way for the week, until Friday close
Usd long crosses have my preference

USD longs paying off (with patience)

My Usd longs are starting to pay off at last
I have been long Usd since the start of the week
UsdJpy hit a stop loss, but my Usd crosses remain open
It has been up and down all week - mostly down
Today my Usd long crosses are in the green and starting to pay off
The problem now is the weekend leverage
I will have to find a spot to close them for the week

USDJpy down today, but USD crosses in doubt

UsdJpy is down quite a bit today
Some soft data, and bearish talk today on the US markets sent UsdJpy down
I have a bundle of Usd crosses - long positions open
Initially I seemed to suffer quite a big drawdown, but I seem alright now
Although I am not making any money at the moment,
I will be keeping my long Usd crosses open, as weakness in UsdJpy does not seem to affect them much

USD positions feeling the pain

My Usd longs are in some trouble now
I am long UsdJpy, UsdNok, UsdSek, and UsdMxn
My UsdJpy has a significant drawdown at the moment,
it seems that the predicted Usd strength above 1.10 is in question at the moment
UsdNok and UsdSek are doing alright, but UsdMxn is doing badly too
If UsdJpy fails to recover above 1.10 again I might be in trouble here

Nice profit on FOMC

I made a nice profit just now after FOMC release
I went long UsdJpy just before the FOMC and slightly above 1.10
I added Usd crosses long, too
My UsdNok and UsdSek positions have done well
and I am now up to around 240K
I will retire for the weekend now

NZDJPY - the pair that should be taken into consideration by any trader

1. What drives the pair?
One of the important fundamental factors driving the pair is safe haven versus yield search. We must remember though, that New Zealand is not a high risk country! This is why we can see NZDJPY going up sometimes in spite of JPY currency index going up too. Both countries are 'far' from the rest of the world and both are 'isolated' as they are 100% insular. Although initial reactions to events like Brexit make JPY or CHF appreciate against everything, after the fi…

Selling the Yen this final week

I have decided to go long UsdJpy before the FOMC
I am also long GbpJpy, EurJpy, NzdJpy, and CadJpy
This will be my last attempt to gain a substantial amount
And hopefully take a top 10 position
UsdJpy should attract buyers before the FOMC
And the crosses will follow up
Gl all
