Trade Idea
Good morning. Today is the first day of the month.
Yesterday the re-balancing at the end of the month was relatively easy to understand. EURUSD, GBPUSD, and AUDUSD rose until London Fixing (15:00 GMT).
I usually trade in semi-swings, but only during the re-balancing at the end of the month, I trade in scalping. Yesterday I traded EURUSD and AUDUSD for around 20 times (all positions were Long) until London Fixing.
Now I have no positions.
Today, RBA policy interest rate and statement will be held. It’s just after yesterday’s re-balance movement, so I think we should be careful.
EURUSD M5
I usually upload H1 chart, but yesterday I traded as scalping, so I upload 5 minute chart. The blue vertical line means London Fixing (15:00 GMT).
AUDUSD M5
Also, I upload M5 chart of AUDUSD. The blue line means London Fixing as well.
