Check out the daily chart for this pair.
Have we seen a 5 wave move down in this cross, to circa 1.0550, coinciding with the same support level seen mid-December? Looks like a turn-around trade here for perhaps a 3 wave correction back up.
I have had a 'lazy' offer in the NZD/AUD at .9485, but hasn't made it there, and looks like it won't.
Any fine tuning comments or contrarian views?

Currently the rebalancing of the NZD:AUD exchange rate is one of the few bets that will most probably pay-off with a 10% + gain yet their seems to be so little media discussion or talk even on this forum. Even since the NZD climbed to its height I have been reweighting my shares and cash into Aussie.

He's probably already sold this rally early, but for us FX Prima <s>Ma</s>donna's (not to be confused with the fallen Madonna with the big boobies) there might just be another final leg up before we quietly, and without fanfare, sell the hell out of this cross (the invisible hand)

Hi fellas, new to this trading game and must confess I take a dim view of charting. However the pictures are nice.
Have shorted the NZ/AUD at the mo and am waiting to short NZ/USD if it gets close to .70.
Does anyone out there use any forex tipping services and if so can they recommend any or is it the old adage that the good ones are kept secret with a lot of rubbish in the market place?
Xerof
13-10-2005, 12:15 AM
Arco,
yes can see the gartley on the daily, and probably the NZD/AUD daily has more potential to go higher (AUD/NZD lower) than my 120 min chart indicates, however was only showing initial 1.272% target
conversion of all cash to AUD? - I was over-dramatising but does seem to be nearing the top end of a well worn range. Nothing funnymental to suggest it won't continue to trade the wider 85/95 range for less than eternity[xx(][xx(]
Blackcap - greetings
you'll find almost all tipsheets are technically based - sorry about that mate, but if you're serious about successfully margin trading FX, then best to do your research on demo account for at least 12 months before fronting up with your capital - its not the easiest craft to ply
You'll find plenty of referrals on the Forex threads right here, and genuine, mostly profitable trading strategies - and best of all - no ramping

Thanks for the suggestions Xerof. I have been playing the demo for a while before going for real but find that you dont have the same discipline when doing it on demo and this tends to distort and skew your returns.
Have been following the discussions on here too and find it very interesting. Keep up the good work. Im sure its appreciated by a lot more people than just me.

Hate to bring in fundamentals, but should see a flurry of nervous selling of AUD/NZD prior to RBNZ

There was a 85 pip dive into and back out of the red box with the EOD forming a Doji on Rooters charts.

You beat me to it - this was my next topic to update.
Yeah, another one that got away I think - wave 5 looks completed, doji candle as you mention, and clearly made it into the zone.
May get another spike before next week, but seems this shorter term opportunity may have been missed.
But again, I'm encouraged by the potentially high strike rates these patterns produce - I think I'll become a collector

normally use candles too.... but just wanted to make the shape clearer
when does the bullish gartley get broken ?
Xerof
24-10-2005, 02:50 PM
See the chart for details, but the larger Gartley (Blue) has probably already gone a little further than "ideal" (AB=CD).
The smaller bullish butterfly (Red) though, is still probing the reversal zone - this is what I am relying on for a turnaround trade.
But if the larger Gartley were to evolve into a full scale butterfly, there is quite some way to go lower, targeting 1.0400 to 1.0200
Under 10600 and it'll be all over Rover, I would think
Not entirely sure if my larger gartley is valid, and of course it is dangerous to 'front-run' an anticipated completion anyway. Even the smaller butterfly has not displayed any turnaround ....
Arco has a third formation (shown on his last graph), where the formation completed and is still running down. He has some targets shown on that graph.
And he is right to suggest waiting for completion and definite signs of a turnaround before entering.

Good Morning Xerof
With respect, the red Butterfly cannot be classed as valid because the C leg is higher than the A leg.
I will post an updated chart ASAP.
arco - back in the Hot Seat
Xerof
25-10-2005, 10:16 AM
quite right, I missed putting the first AB leg in from the A point of the blue formation, meaning it completed a Gartley and is still going down the yellow brick road.

Nup - thats no gartley at all - AB does not equal CD
Ah well back to the drawing board
Hi Xerof
Amazingly those bastar*d sharpes can sometimes work.
Heres the updated chart.
The action has now reached the lower red/blue target boxes (as shown in the previous charts). Oscillator is showing some signs of flattening out and I have calculated some minor Gann support in the 1.0620 region.
Reversal may be just around the corner.

Well, I think the dust has settled, and it's more of the same IMV. It only managed the weakest of bounces (retracement) to 10760 (9290)or so, before turning turtle again.
This cross needs to hold around current levels, otherwise we may see a continuation lower for a L/T retest of the 1.0500/1.0600, (9450/9430) which has been the multi-year reversal zone as far back as I can recall. Below that lies the infamous but elusive parity (which is 1.00 whichever way you quote it[^][^]

This Gann DGL stuff is interesting Arco, have been distracted a little whilst doing all the reading and coming to grips with what the lines all mean.
This is not a recommendation to do anything, but I have multiple Gann [u]SUPPORT</u> for NZD at 6900, and AUD at 7400. Perhaps you might like to confirm if your methods come up with the same? Daily charts.
Also, had Gann support yesterday on GBP.USD at 17600 (so squared up another short I had taken - just as well....)
TIA
Xerof
Hi Xerof
Yes, the DGL's are quite good once you get the knack, and good value for money I would say, as you get free updates form Don on a regular basis.
Obviously there are many points where A,B,C can go and I use longer term dates as well. My figures seem to sit roughly in the same area as you mention.
One important point that you may have picked up is that 'A' date is always the highest(lowest) close, and B/C dates are always the highest (lowest) point of the bar.
I have had the course for some years and really need to read it again.[:I]

PS. Closed all my AUD.NZD at lunchtime and have placed orders lower down.
Xerof
03-11-2005, 05:20 PM
Yes got that. The piece of software that a user wrote for use on Esignal does it automatically. It's a bit like 'Gann for Dummies'
Choosing appropriate V and inverted V formations seems to be where the art lies, then of course deciding which S/R line will be produce the magic, but as an extra tool I think I like it:):)
Unless we have started the 'cascading decline' we've all been waiting for, may see better levels to re-enter shorts on various pairs, but the NZD crosses certainly took a pummelling last night.
An interesting observation regarding Esignal - I have a chart for NZDGBP, which must only have one price feed - last night they might have got buried by the market, as there's been no price update since 3930!! - on second look, just updated now, but has left a gaping gap on my chart[V][V]
So, Esignal is not perfect... but who watches NZDGBP anyway[?]
I'll post the chart in the Gartley test thread as it is picture perfect Red Admiral, followed by a sym triangle breakout
Wish all trades were as easy as that....

goin well slam!! i had a goodie myself going long on the Eur just before the NFP kicked it up 70 points.
from my platform news today...
[AUD/NZD] cross headed northbound in early AM session after last week's consolidation, demand by onshore and corporates drive it briefly 1.0900+ high but capped by profit takers placed above 1.0910, thus retreats down to the current 1.0870 zone. Meanwhile 1.0850 to 1.0835 likely to attract decent buying orders on the back of solid growth in Aust while participants expect RBNZ to end its monetary tightening cycle. A sustained 1.0930 break unveils 1.0970-1.1000 objective. On the charts, bullish trend remains intact for a minimum 1.1000 to 1.1040 target. Support now lies at 1.0835

I'm looking forward to the Kiwi getting sold down to 0.75AUD, by the end of the year.
Bring on more bad economic news!!
Hoping the AUD drops further against the USD too. Great for aussie commodity stocks.
this upward trend now had to happen really given our appalling trade figures compared to theirs.... + 80 and holding.
I bought in this at 1.1883 last night and its been a struggle with the signals unclear. My fortitude almost wavered, but the announcement this morning hasnt done the cross any harm and its seems to be building a base at around the 1.1900 level. Resistance will arrive at 1.20 but buying on dips could work for a few more pips yet. It is quite volatile which does mean you get the chance to buy cheap if you have the stomach for it.
Hi Peat
I spotted a Sm Gartley on the daily, and a Harami candle pattern (after a Bearish Engulfing 12 days ago). So not sure where this one is going in the short term. I'm basically waiting to see if the recent high is taken out before making any decisions.

Not sure if you are looking at 'X' from 11/5/06, or from 6/7/06.

Not sure if any of these 3 ideas may help.
ASB Securites (share trading) NZ. They will open an Aussie dollar account which also pays interest.
ANZ in Aus have a V2 account that pays 5% on balances over $5k
I think you can open an account with Oanda in Aud dollars and I beleive they pay 4% on any amount. You could also trade the cross with this account, if you so wish.

New Zealand business confidence improves
From correspondents in Wellington
10oct06
NEW Zealand business confidence improved sharply in the September quarter, a survey showed today, raising expectations the central bank may decide to raise interest rates.
The independent New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) survey for the September quarter showed a net 19 per cent of firms expected a deterioration in the general business situation in the next six months.
However, despite being negative, the figure was the least pessimistic for the last 18 months and down from a net 44 per cent in June and 61 per cent in December.
Economists were surprised with figures that showed capacity utilisation increased for the first time since December 2004. Utilisation reached 92.3 per cent in the September quarter, up from 91.4 per cent in the June quarter.
The NZIER acknowledged the figure would be of concern to the central bank.
Reserve Bank of New Zealand governor Alan Bollard last month said he had become less sure that the official interest rate of 7.25 per cent would not need to rise again during the current business cycle.
Despite a slowing of economic growth to 1.9 per cent annually in the June quarter, inflationary pressures remain strong. Inflation is running at 4 per cent, above the 1-3 per cent band within which the central bank is mandated to maintain price rises.
The ANZ Bank said the business confidence data showed the threshold for a rates increase had been crossed.
"Given recent developments, we believe the risk of a hike (in interest rates) is now greater than 50 per cent, and the Reserve Bank will need a strong reason or calamity at this point to pause,'' the bank said.
The BNZ Bank said a combination of intentions by businesses to hire more workers and to raise prices and the leap in capacity utilisation were worrying.
The bank said it had shifted its probability of an interest rate rise this month from 25 per cent to a 40-45 per cent risk.
"However, we can't but think that governor Bollard really doesn't want to do this if he can avoid doing so,'' the BNZ said.
From The Australian
even RB governors get squeezed..... !
some one posted this Barclays comment on global-view
Barclays: Long AUD/NZD
We see the NZIER survey data as an opportunity to get into AUD/NZD longs ahead of RBA Governor Stevens Wed. We are longing the cross at the reference rata of 1.1276, with a stop loss around the key technical support of 1.1200. We see a hawkish RBA Governor Stevens Wednesday forcing the market to increase the probability of a rate hike in Australia by year end, which will boost the Aussie dollar.Longer term, we expect the RBNZ to stay on hold and not to further hike rates during this tightening cycle. We expect the RBA to hike rates in November, reducing the Kiwi dollar's yield advantage over the Aussie, leading to some shift in carry trades from the Kiwi to the Aussie. We also see a significant chance of a rapid slowing in New Zealand’s economic growth in Q4 and Q1, the precursors of which we see emerging in the data to be released in late Q4. In our opinion, these data will likely see the market begin to price in earlier and steeper rate cuts in New Zealand than it is currently pricing in, which would see a further reductions in carry trades into the Kiwi dollar and bring the weight of New Zealand's record high current account deficit to bear on the Kiwi dollar.

using this icon to represent a yawn as I'm definitely tiring of this play....
what do you think arco....how much longer should we give it to deliver...
Hi Peat
Yes, sometimes these potential moves can
be very frustrating when they sit around.
My position is small so I can afford to hang on
for the time being.
At a current -21 that only equates to -2.1 pips
on a full position.
regards - arco
something has happend now [:0] (this time the icon represents genuine surprise)
yeh I have 30K AUD now which is a bit for me and doesnt allow me to open other positions... oh well its looking good now... finally.
Hi Peat
Yes, just as I posted the required green candle
appeared as if in response. Big jump of circa 60
for some reason.
So currently + 40, and looking better.
regards - arco
Australian Sep Employment +31,400; Consensus +2,500
Australian Sep Unemployment Rate 4.8%; Consensus 4.9%
The further tightening in the labour market suggests an increase in wage pressures that can only add to the
case for a rate hike in November. While new RBA Governor Stevens said Wednesday that September quarter inflation data out later in October will be key, the central bank cannot ignore the inflationary implications from the labour data. (ifr)
The next key event for the cross is the NZ retail sales
tomorrow and there are rumours in the market that this will be a weak number after the 0.5% rise in July.
Ah yes, thanks Peat
Just looked at
http://www.news.com.au/business/
and spotted that.
regards - arco
a bit off topic here but Arco, as a technical analyst , how much do you concern yourself with fundamental issues such as this information. Some would argue the charts say it all.
Hi Peat
I don't concern myself with the fundies, but
if we get a sharp move I sometimes search for
the possible reason.
Its quite incredible, but usually the charts
warn me well prior to the news.
regards - arco
Still looking OK
+ 110 pips
May be a bit of hesitation circa 1475
........trailing stop to lock in profits
as the plot proceeds
regards - arco
50 or 60 pip corrections without trend break tho... so guess the trailing stop should be rather large , i've only raised it to 1360.
NZD triple topped at 6620 which makes me think there has to be some downside test in that one at some stage.
Hi Peat
Yes, stops need to be kept at sensible levels, otherwise they can be easily triggered........amazingly by 1 pip [V]..... How DO they do that
Also the stops margin required seems to have increased dramatically over the last year or so.
I added more to my position......so see how we go

Hi All
From my news ticker, for what it's worth
San Francisco, October 16. AUD/NZD has
been firm most of the NY session, pressing against the overnight highs of
1.1455/60 but is now giving up gains, dropping back to 1.1420. Traders here see
the cross overvalued with the recent basis for long AUD/NZD recommendations
based on expected revisions of the CPI weightings that should see inflation drop
in NZ. However, the analysts are blatantly ignoring the fact that even with the
expected decline, inflation is running well above the RBNZ comfort zone and the
housing and labor markets are still seen underpinning price pressures in the
economy. Some pundits are now calling for an RBNZ rate hike this month, and this
is being ignored in the price of the cross which still has NZD with a yield
premium over AUD. Even more conservative analysts see a 50/50 chance of a NZ
rate hike before the year end. This risk is seen pressuring the recent longs,
risking a pullback to 1.1200 in coming sessions.
NZD/USD is at 0.6594/99 currently, still meeting offers ahead of 0.6600 with
more sellers tipped at 0.6620. Rhonda.Staskow@thomson.com
Hi Slam/All
There are some Gann resistances in the 1475 area, so these may cause a little hesistation before the action tries to close that higher gap.

Hi ALL
As per usual Arco good call on this one
Nz cpi in at .7% not .8% decreasing outlook of a hike tomorrow.
Over the wire
The softer CPI data might swing the balance of expectations towards a "no-
change" result after most of the market was pricing in a 25 bp rise in the cash
rates to 7.5%. A "no-change" result would damage the NZD and solidify calls from
a few US investment banks that the AUD/NZD is he4aded towards 1.1800/1.2000 in
the days/weeks ahead. The NZD/USD trades 0.6600/05

Selling the AUD.NZD was the correct decision, and it looks like there may be another possible trade if the resistance will now hold as support.
Waiting in the wings fro a reversal signal.

Twas a nasty lil surge by the kiwi disrupting what was beginning to look like a breakout for AUD/NZD. Continues to confuse but my position remains as stated. I suspect NZD gets thrown around by either the big players or a possible lack of liquidity
Peat
Its probably the [V] nasty tricks brigade .......they make it look like a powerful breakout and people jump in with fairly tight stops.......the NTB then run it down and collect all those juicy stops, only to reverse it again once they have their bounty.

There seems to have been a number good opportunities to have re-entered long on this cross without overpaying. Alas I have not done so. Lingering resentment at being taken out Fri night I suspect ...haha
I still think theres many hundreds of pips awaiting the brave tho.

Morning Peat
Yes, I was wondering where your stop was.
Sorry to hear that it got hit again.
IMO stops have to be much further away now
than they did going back a few years.
Not sure if all the small players are affecting
this, or what the cause is. However I often
start with 70-100 now.
How was CMC????
regards - arco
I'm just on my lunchbreak from it (one of the benefits of living in the city is I can pop home) I wrote about in it the investment strategy forum so see that for my comments. They really are pushing this $4000 piece of software called Profit Source, which does seem pretty slick indeed, I'm strongly resistant to that sort of expense tho... I hate sales pitch. Hes really a really good salesman tho so the more time I spend there the more I waver.
Todays recommendations (with disclaimer of course) were to short FPA (NZX) and OSH on the ASX and some others I can post later...
added: tho as I typed that FPA broke the stop which was at 3.92, so thats over now.

kiwi just did a 100 pip u turn
im +60 at the moment, wondering when to take profits..
Ichimoku is saying sell on the daily now.
Tenkan has crossed over (or at least will do very soon I think)
Todays price is lower than the price 22 days ago (Chikou)
Current price is now below the Kumo cloud.
Sell on any bounces over the next two days I reckon.
It seems to me that following the trigger of an Ichi indicators on the daily price often experience a pullback during the next 2-3 days where a much better entry point can be achieved. So sell if price retraces up, back to the cloud itself.
Target 1100??
Peat
As I understand it -
If Tenkan-sen is crossing Kijun-sen from down to up = buy signal (Gold Cross), and the reverse = sell signal is called Dead Cross.
However, if Tenkan-sen line is on horizontal level - we have an undecided market signal.
(Also check out possible triple tweezer bottom on 3 hours?)

Hi Peat
i havent been able to get ichimoko up and going yet,though my metastock is legit i never registered
it so cant access downloads from Equis that i am aware of, so i am interested in your comments on tenkan etc,looking at daily chart it appears to have fallen through support 11456
cheers roddy
my post of 04/12/2006 : 5:20:06 PM wasnt a bad call... not that I traded it with real money but if you had of sold in the two days following that when it hit up to 1530 you could've been up 200 pips
another tick for the daily ichi tho?
note that it got to 1150 but has now turned back with the daily tenkan sen crossing through the kijun sen (tho below the cloud). Cloud might offer some resistance but if this low was the ABC correction of the 12345 upphase to 1.2450 ending in August then Big Things could be in store on this leg up.
this from Jyske Bank (Denmark) today
"If investors sell NZD against AUD – and not against the low-interest CHF and JPY – they save interest
expenses since the interest-rate level for AUD is only marginally lower than for NZD. With a long
AUD/NZD certificate in the portfolio, investors can in the event of renewed risk aversion look
forward to a more safe future knowing that action has been taken"
folks
Theres been much talk over the 6 months or so that there will be a correction in this rate, yet there seems to be constant trading in the same narrow range. Whats it going to take other than NZ dropping interest rates, which ain't going to happen anytime soon.

dont know what it will take Moe, but, the longer the period of compression usually the more violent the outbreak.
breakout started (down) !
100 pips already but a few hundred more i reckon.
and I always thought it would break the other way.
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/2705/audnzddaily18042007medidy5.jpg
at first my top line 31 was too tight and it was giving false indications but line 87 now matches better with 63 and the breakout is clear. I am thinking a good strategy would be to sell into 1.1250 stop loss 100. supposedly the target 1.09 but 1.1 might leave some for the next guy
well I've actually put the money where the mouth is on this just now. Shorted it in demo last night - watched that bounce around today... but have shorted 15k Aud/NZD at 1.1242 fo' real now.
Not sure that my stop loss will be as large as posted above (1.1350), now I'm thinking that I wouldnt want it to go over 1.1270 at this stage as the major trend should start to show itself quickly if this is a true breakout.
sold another 15k at 1.1196
Aussie 1Q CPI Below Expectations; AUD/USD Falls
Australian 1Q CPI surprisingly weak, up 0.1% on quarter vs +0.6% expected, up 2.4% on year vs +3.0% expected. Data diminish rate hike expectations ahead of May 1 RBA meeting. Australian dollar tumbles...
Cross now at 1.1146
Well this trade all closed now, unfortunately only slightly better than break even. Yesterdays behaviour of correction was fairly expected tho at 1.1200 stretching things a bit, and even this mornings OCR increase didnt put things right soon enough with the spikes up hitting my stop.
A little disappointed that I didnt capture the profits while they were available (greed?) but I had my original target (1.10) and I stuck to them. Maybe they will still be hit eventually.
later ..... now at 1.1150 :( well I need to move on , but this is burnin my A.S.S.
seems to be a feature of my trading that even when I get it right I dont bank the pips. hmmmmmmmmmm

26-04-2007, 08:20 PM
Hi Peat at least you got the move right,way I tend to look at it is that there are always trades,so once you are in the money run fairly tightly behind it,ie as it moves move your stop up behind it,sometimes will be too tight other times you end up banking more if it turns the other way.
The exception would be playing a long move,say a week or more,also I try to stay flexible,as in pick a move but don't get stubborn about it,so if you are sitting there thinking it's turning take the money and run.
Cheers
Miner
cheers for the words miner
yeh I was kinda in this for the long run - workin for a big target and , hence my tentativenss in moving the stops closer - especially with this cross the s/t volatility is fairly high.
Shame to miss banking it tho coz I'd been eyeing the compression on this for months and with a 12 pip stop its not somethin to scalp at too much.
Always another day tho!!

Morning Peat I have been to busy to play for a while but just looking at usd/jpy and eur/jpy on the daily and they have both given nice "U" trades,doing the what I call back to test theory.
Thinking of your trade,if you had put a stop just above where you went short so when it came back to test it you stay in,as in it tests it then heads back down the way you picked?.
looking for back to test patterns on all my time frames works well for me.
Cheers
Miner
you are aboslutely right about the back to test movement - thats where a bit of intestinal fortitude (guts) is required

AUD/NZD on the 5 min candle since 0600 today NZ Time theres a bullish gartly just completed.
And a bullish one on the NZD/USD
twas a hard road but think it will pay off.... the momentum gradually waned and now the NZD falls and the AUD/NZd rises.
Bit of resistance overhead to the long from a

Heres aud/nzd technically a crab but commonly a butterfly!
yeh its been an amazing run and I'm not at all sure its over... tho i have no more open positions.
I closed some at over +500 and I missed most of it! it was certainly a lesson in letting your profits run, i dont think I would've held that long except for the fact I was hedging known costs in AUD, so goes to show if you're not keen to bank profits too quickly how things can add up.

AUD/NZD on the weekly chart is starting to look a little high risk for buyers.... The value index is going lower and diverging from the price trend.. that only happens for so long before a corrective phase and the seasonals are suggesting a few weeks of bearishness.

Head and shoulders pattern with a trendline break. What do you lot think.
I'm gonna try entering with those trailing sell stops tonight if things look good. Need a decent break below the 1.2125 before I enter.
Supports at 1.2042, 1.1755, and if we're lucky 1.11 somewhere.

Sounds good to me but the RBNZ rate decision isn't until Thursday 11th and the banks have a growing penchant to make it pretty hard to hold a position prior to the event. Could be a rocky ride.

hi guys , momentum plays a big part in the ability to collect the pips.
you are probably focusing on the one cross which over the last few weeks has not moved at all.
i think the way the markets are moving in blocks at the moment , its unlikely for the aud and nzd dollar to take separate paths.
its a usd v commodity story
but a set up is a set up .
Seems you were right about the RBNZ rate decision. Got stopped out of my position for a loss, but no where near what it would have been had I held.
hi all im no currecy trader but nz/aud at 88c its been a while since its been this high could this be seen as a good time to buy aud or is it likley that the aud will keep on weakening

This is nothing more than a 'soft' vs 'hard' commodity trade.
Probably hedge funds unwinding old positions to lock in their profits, or building positions the other way with a view to it going further

NZD AUD is at 90 cents!!!!
Surely the NZD is over valued against the AUD on fundamentals.
Im am realy interested to hear what you currency guys predict on the NZD V AUD over the coming months.
Just that im cashed up have an employment offer in Ausi.
Unsure wether i should jump at low to mid .90 cent range or can this situation continue to strengthen the kiwi out to high .90's and beyond ?

hi ynot, cashed up sounds a great place to be.
im sorry but all my charts are audnzd so you got look upside down.
audnzd has been pretty volatile at the moment which is a little unusual for this cross.
possibilty has broken a triangle and may run to what has been a major resistance level in the past around 1.05.
if it broke 1.05 then may well move lower.
big resistance at 115 to watch to the upside.
so i think i would hang on at the moment and see which way it breaks and expect big daily swings as volatilty is pretty high.

...exchanged some NZ$ into A$ and started to dip into equities (yes, commodities included) hoping at least, to make a start taking advantage of companies showing good fundamental values (some miners sitting on piles of cash 50% and more compared to their market value right now), paying dividend yields based on earning cycle 07/08 higher than bank rates...and who wants to have money in the bloody banks anyway???
...as I have said long ago, if the whole show goes down the drain, your cash is trash (always has been more or less) and so will be anything else, apart from precious metals; so what am I waiting for I thought to myself and made a start;
...as far as NZD/AUD gap is concerned, it's not sustainable longer term
Kind Regards

Be careful with announcements, they are used by the big players to dump or break a level, so if you dont know what your doing stay well clear....
Bumped for ollie
I actually have a very small short position in this cross but its quite negative - if it goes much higher I will be stopped.
This morning I was seeing a bit of a head and shoulders forming though so was ever hopeful the position might come right. ie Aud go down against Kiwi
I also have some cash left over from the last trip over there which I havent changed so a bit of a bob each way hahah
Ollie often in these situations its best to do the transfer in tranches eg 1/3rd now 1/3rd in a while etc....
At 1.27 Historically you wouldnt be doing too badly to bring money here to NZ right now remember it was 1.06 not that long ago. (I know these numbers are the wrong way round for you - but reciprocals are pretty easy maths)

Thanks peat, good idea to split the total into 3 or 4 lots,sort of dollar cost averaging . I remember sending this money to OZ with the rate at .9500 , Nov 05. so its all uphill. cheers
this is the head and shoulders I see on the hourly
which if correct would suggest theres 2-300 pips down if it can convincingly break 1.2750. But it hasnt yet.
well it tempted me in but didnt perform - taken a hit here....
I actually have a very small short position in this cross but its quite negative - if it goes much higher I will be stopped.
well the h+s might not have worked out but the original small position never quite did get stopped - coming into a reasonable profit now at 1.2350 +340 , target 1.15 tho.
kiwi strength a bit :eek: but good for this short position. still a long way to 1.15 tho.

i've got a failing butterfly (in yellow) on my chart. Havent traded it.
Looks weak to me but just below 1.23 it will have done a bullish gartley (green)
What do you think arco?

Stop to break even
at the end of the butterfly formation the yello line formed from just above the B point proved instrumental and once it broke on the 7th provided good support the next day. I got in a bit late and is probably a bit overcooked on the hourly at +190 so I've closed out here.
Looks like Kumo resistance
