    8:30 NY time which I think is 12:30am AEST

    Normally I would trade the EUR/USD but the EUR is sitting just under a resistance level so I was thinking of going a commodity currency like the AUD or the CAD. I may not sell but buy the USD if there's a decent beat. Just depends on the market reaction. I place a pending order on the buy and sell side of the trade, wait for the number to drop and the market's reaction. It'll take out one of the orders, I cancel the other and let the pips roll in.

    I made $100 on aud/usd then had the stupid bright idea to sell a us denominated commodity like sliver but obviously hit in too late and lost $160.

    smaller and more thoughtful next time. Does that count as a CGT loss?

    I ended up with a little under $2500 trading the AUD/USD pair. Not bad for literally a couple of minutes work

    The smack down was a reaction to the U.S. dollar big move upwards on the potential for interest rate hikes. This indicates that the negative correlation between the dollar and gold is still current. It will eventually turn around but in the mean time, the big moves up in the dollar just keep on coming.

    German GDP figures came in better than expected so unless something dramatic develops from Greece between now and closing time or there's a major shift in the COT then I reckon it'll remain flat or sell off mildly.

    Strong resistance at $18 USD. Breakout when it goes above that.
