## Short the Aussie dollar
bradrhoan posted a sell limit on AUDUSD for the coming week, positioned for the pair to turn lower against the U.S. dollar.
## Up first, then down
The plan is not to sell at current price. It wants one more push higher into a marked area, and only then a move back down.

> i want to see a continuation to the upside to hit that area of interest before selling towards the downside.
## The level is the trigger
An area of interest sits above the market. Price reaching it is what turns this from a chart opinion into an actual position.
## A limit order, not market
A sell limit rests above price and fills only if price trades up into it. The order waits, so the trader does not have to sit at the screen.
## No touch, no trade
If AUDUSD never climbs into the zone, the order never fills and the idea just expires. Setting it in advance makes that outcome painless.
## One read, not advice
TradingView attaches a disclaimer for a reason. This is a single trader's trend analysis, not a recommendation, and the sizing is on you.
## Key takeaway

The waiting is the trade. If price never reaches the level, there is nothing to do.
