For sure a good fx trader should blend the fundamentals and the techs, I always start with the techs thn counter check if the fundamentals support the position I want to take, clearly they work hard in hand.

AUDUSD I'm watching to go short anytym from now, will update my move.
Discipline & sticking to your strategy even when you loosing defines great traders.

Bagged 20 pips on the euro (Minus the spread). Entered @1.3373 and TP hit at a 1.3393. I love trading the news. Next opportunity @ 12.30 on the cable, PPI Report.

In the same note I would like to invite a friendly debate on Technical Vs Funamental trading. My belief is that a good trading style should be biased on fundamentals.

One CANNOT be done while ignoring the other. I do about 80% technicals and 20% fundamentals. A good example is yeaterdays trade on the eur/usd. Quite a no. of traders got stopped out because they traded the news without their knowledge having been fully reliant on technicals.Shame on you Incorporate all and take your time. This market never sleeps so why rush it?

On the daily, the EUR/USD has reversed from the 100% fibo level. I didn't expect the bulls to push that far based on bond sales news only while the euro debt crisis still looms. If it closes today below 1.33, an inverted hammer will be a daily chart bearish signal which will invite the bears. Unless the EUR/USD regains the 1.37 handle, I remain bearish targeting the price gap made back in July 2010 - 1.25. This view is supported on the larger monthly time-frame. Weekly shorts from 1.34 - 1.35 failure levels can target 1.30 - 1.29 as the first TP level before a move lower towards 1.25.

aud/usd is in a corner and the bust that'll come out will be big....note that on the daily chart it has a ascending wedge and this are very very volatile when they break out.....i expect eur/aud to rise with the aud's fall....Inflation report coming up in a while ( 6.00 pm ) that shld give the pairs some direction....
