I will look at the structure when this occurs and see if I should close the remainder of the position, or trail my stop.

It's quite possible I'll get stopped out some more on my dollar shorts, but that doesn't mean the dollar has bottomed necessarily. It just means when I get stopped out I need a re-evaluation, and then perhaps re-enter. The best opportunities I see right now are in pairs I rarely trade, AUD/USD and the USD/CAD. The very clear five wave rally yesterday in the AUD/USD spells significant upside potential ahead all over it, and it's pulled back significantly today and provided another great entry point to go long. The USD/CAD appears to be finishing up a correction on this final thrust upward and should fall hard soon.

The dollar bottom is near, or possibly has already occured (but nothing substantially supports that yet), so I'm keeping these positions very small, but a little bigger in the CAD and AUD.

Good luck.

Do you think it'll revisit last night low?

I held my position open when it hit last nights low hoping for lower.
Small mistake on my part.

But it looks like it will visit that area once again.

What do you think?
