@PippedOff: Funnily enough, I incorrectly remembered the AUD call, and went long, went back to check, realised my mistake....but I was up 30 pips :-) took this off the table, and re-entered (long) later anyway...c'est la vie. Scientific trader I am not. Not very, anyway).
But as I said before, I've been wanting to go long AUD. Seems the right thing to do...
@PippedOff: But actually, in all seriousness, I don't see NFP as the game-changer. I mean, it was not good, but things move on.
@Chloe: True: but, but ... selling the dollar is so...last year! :-) Seriously though again, I thought we had got past that phase. Longer term (very longer term), I too, am very dollar bearish, but It's not going down without a fight.,
"hOW ABOUT THE PLAIN AND SIMPLE "euro" for eur/usd. "
I'll buy that Sir. After all (EUR)/GBP isn't worth thinking about (well, the GBP isn't, even for those of us with it in our pockets...), and EUR/JPY is in a different class...
You said "between eur and gbp, I usually pick the one based contra off the last big move in eur/gbp. That would mean shorting gbp as if there is a rebound in eur/gbp".
Sounds interesting. Would you mind expanding on this just a little, so I am clear what you mean?
Do you mean that if EUR/GBP goes DOWN you short EUR/USD and if EUR/GBP goes UP you short GBP/USD?
Or the other way around?
I can never fully work out this little "menage a trois" accurately! :-)

Are you talking about USD/CAD? Yes, that's looking a little bit bearish .... but what do I know about USD/CAD....?

Hope so; I'm short now :-)
