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 2008 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:48:10 -0500 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss AUD/USD retraced a bit higher and fell, but not enough to reach the 50% Fibonacci level where I had my orders ready to go. Since we are at the end of the trading week, I have decided to http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_19.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_19.html Fri, 21 Nov 2008 14:48:10 -0500 Good morning! My remaining position was closed last week as we saw a burst of risk buyers pushing NZD/USD up to my adjusted stop at .5735. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/short_nzdusd_3.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/short_nzdusd_3.html Mon, 17 Nov 2008 08:45:24 -0500 A return to risk was the name of the game today as risk takers jumped back into higher yielding currencies, like AUD/USD on a continue drop in bank borrowing costs and rally in commodities. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_18.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_18.html Tue, 04 Nov 2008 11:00:39 -0500 Hello! My trade was triggered last night shortly after my post, and it looks like the trendline held as sellers jumped in and pushed the Aussie down over 100 pips http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_17.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_17.html Fri, 31 Oct 2008 12:52:48 -0500 No trade today as AUD/USD did not make another attempt to to go lower, instead finding buyers above .6000. Risk appetite grew across the board during today's trading session as http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_16.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_16.html Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:30:16 -0500 My short position closed yesterday as the Aussie rallied at the end of the US trading session and hit my adjusted stop at .6730. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_15.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_15.html Fri, 24 Oct 2008 08:14:05 -0500 Since my post, NZD/USD made a high around .6350, then dropped and remains in a range between .6050 - .6200. It does not look like we'll get much action from this pair right now as http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/short_nzdusd_2.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/short_nzdusd_2.html Mon, 20 Oct 2008 10:00:14 -0500 My trade was triggered long yesterday at 1.1100 as the pair broke above upward resistance, and everything was looking great until this pesky little "coordinated global rate cut" happened. I was http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_19.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_19.html Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:00:00 -0500 Yesterday was a wacky day in the markets with normal correlations thrown out the window as equities and commodities rallied, but the US Dollar rallied as well against most of the other majors, too. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_18.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_18.html Wed, 01 Oct 2008 08:11:55 -0500 The US just released economic data this morning with much weaker than expected results in jobless claims and durable goods orders. This poses to be US Dollar negative and now with reports that http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/nzdusd_1.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/nzdusd_1.html Thu, 25 Sep 2008 08:46:40 -0500 The US Dollar rallied against the Canadian Dollar yesterday, taking the pair all the way up to 1.0800, where it briefly broke above. Unfortunately, it the pair couldn't quite reach my short entry orders at http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_17.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_17.html Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:52:57 -0500 Hello! Oil continues to drop on various factors including a rise in supplies, OPEC trimming output, and a Hurricane steering away from gulf refineries. USD/CAD has had trouble moving lower as http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_16.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/usdcad_16.html Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:29:11 -0500 It looks like we couldn't catch the move lower today as sellers topped off the Aussie rally just below my entry level during the morning European trading session. It's been an interesting mix of data this morning with http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_14.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_14.html Thu, 04 Sep 2008 11:02:50 -0500 Hello! After a bit of rollercoaster action throughout the Asia and Euro trading session, the Greenback found a bid on positive manufacturing and consumer sentiment data out of the US. http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_13.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_13.html Fri, 29 Aug 2008 15:32:48 -0500 The Greenback could not maintain it's strength during the Asian and European trading sessions and pushed the AUD/USD back out to my entry price at .8600. My remaining position was http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_12.html http://www.babypips.com/blogs/playing-with-comdolls/audusd_12.html Wed, 27 Aug 2008 12:00:57 -0500
