Switched to all NZD longs

I have switched my positions to all Nzd crosses, all long

I was long Aud and Nzd crosses yesterday
My Aud positions were not doing that well and I decided to close them
Nzd seems pretty strong though, so I kept my Nzd longs
In have a few Nzd crosses in the green now,
and have added a GbpNzd short which is doing alright too
I also have a sell limit EurNzd waiting

Buying retracement AUD and NZD

I am buying Aud crosses today after some good retracement

AudUsd and other Aud crosses have had quite a heavy retracement today
If I look at a longer term prediction and support levels
I have found a couple of good points to buy some crosses
Also found a good point to buy NzdChf
I will be carefull to carry a couple trades through the weekend
without getting stopped out due to margin requirements

Chinese data release tonight

Tonight sees the release of Chinese GDP and production over Q4
The Chinese data release tonight is something that could influence the markets

I will be looking for some surprise in Eur - a…

Bad Data + USD Strength = Strong Positioning

The US saw negative numbers released today, yet we saw the USD rally. The numbers were not just marginally bad, they were really bad. significant deviations from expectations across the board.
Often it's during news releases that we get a strong indication of where exactly the major players are positioning. Often, by careful analysis we can see that a currency should have sold off slightly more, or that a rally should have lasted a bit longer, but small signs of what the big players views on the…

Looking to sell against the Yen - crazy, or not?

When the markets open tonight I will be looking for an opportunity to sell one or more currencies
against the Yen - meaning I will be looking to go short Gbp/Jpy, or short Eur/Jpy, Aud/Jpy, Nzd/Jpy etc.
Am I crazy doing this - with all this Usd strength around, and Usd/Jpy sky-rocketing,
the Japan economic easing - weakening their currency ...
you would certainly think that I have lost it, but look at it this way:
Remember a couple of years ago when US QE was the big news,
everyone was looking t…
