http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/ Welcome to my blog! I am HappyPip, lady trader of the Commodity Dollars or "ComDolls!" We will look at price action of the Australian Dollar, New Zealand Dollar, and the Canadian Dollar, as well as their respective economies, and how commodities prices may affect their long term movements. Put on a "happy face" and come join me, won't ya! :) en Copyright 2009 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:38:55 -0500 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Good afternoon! For those who have been keeping up with AUDUSD, you know the pair finally broke the neckline and triggered my short orders at .9230. A round of risk aversion has http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_-_head_and_shoulders.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_-_head_and_shoulders.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:38:55 -0500 Welps...it looks like USDCAD was ready to breakout, but to the downside! Positive ISM data from the US brought back the risk bulls out, taking traders away from greenback and moving back to the Loonie. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/breakout_time_for_usdcad.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/breakout_time_for_usdcad.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:42:53 -0500 Good morning! Looks like my trade worked out good, but not great as Australian inflation data briefly spiked AUDUSD higher and closed out my remaining position, preventing me from hitting both profit targets. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_31.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_31.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:50:59 -0500 Good evening! Things were looking good for my trade as the pair met resistance and consolidated around .8900. Unfortunately, Australian jobs surprised to the upside with an increase of http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/going_against_the_grain_on_aud.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/going_against_the_grain_on_aud.html Thu, 08 Oct 2009 01:25:13 -0500 Good afternoon everyone! No luck on the second half of my trade as the pair did trend higher at the start of this week, but USDCAD was a few pips shy of hitting 1.1000. I didn't get to http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/patterns_galore_in_usdcad.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/patterns_galore_in_usdcad.html Tue, 29 Sep 2009 16:13:06 -0500 Good afternoon! Looks like I caught a bit of luck as we saw a strong USD rally at the open of the European trading session. The pair hit my first profit target at 1.0755, where half of my position was closed. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/will_usdcad_support_area_hold.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/will_usdcad_support_area_hold.html Fri, 18 Sep 2009 14:16:02 -0500 My trade was triggered not too long after I posted my trade idea, but since then, USDCAD has pretty much gone no where this week! With the end of the European trading session closing down and the NFP reports coming tomorrow, I have decided to http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/doji_and_divergence_on_usdcad.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/doji_and_divergence_on_usdcad.html Thu, 03 Sep 2009 11:27:53 -0500 It's Friday, the weekend's here, so it's time to unwind...some positions! With the European session closing down I have decided to close my remaining short position in USDCAD to avoid any weekend risk. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_time_for_another_short.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_time_for_another_short.html Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:48:10 -0500 Good afternoon! As I had hoped for, USDCAD rallied higher during today's Asia trading session, and it was enough to trigger my short entry orders at 1.0930. The Loonie proceeded to http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_25.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_25.html Fri, 21 Aug 2009 16:00:57 -0500 Volatility took AUDUSD up just enough to hit my short entry orders at 0.8300. The pair fell from that level during the European trading session to a low of about .8260 before http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_30.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_30.html Fri, 31 Jul 2009 08:21:06 -0500 Grrr! All the bearish technical signals in the world couldn't stop the surprise positive US earnings that brought traders into a risk taking frenzy over the past couple of trading sessions. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_-_trendline_reversal.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_-_trendline_reversal.html Thu, 16 Jul 2009 12:05:06 -0500 Good afternoon! My trade finally triggered during today's European trading session at 1.1450. That area has held as support throughout the day, and buyers have pushed the pair higher ahead of the FOMC meeting. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_24.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_24.html Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:45:42 -0500 Good afternoon once again! It's another rangebound day in the currency markets, but there was just enough volatility to bring USDCAD back up to my original entry point at 1.1350. That's where I adjusted my stop on http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_23.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_23.html Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:20:18 -0500 Good afternoon! It looks like I missed out on a nice move in AUDUSD as the retracement to previous support never materialized. Traders held the downward move to a low of around .8000 before http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_29.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_29.html Thu, 11 Jun 2009 14:30:03 -0500 Good afternoon! The US Dollar rallied huge today as sentiment on economic recovery may be weaker than previously hoped for bringing in a new, and strong round of risk aversion! http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_28.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_28.html Wed, 03 Jun 2009 14:25:33 -0500
