New trade

AUD spiked on employment news that was worse than it looked on the surface (strong part-time job gains, large full-time job losses; lower unemployment rate, but a lower participation rate), so shorting seemed an interesting prospect once the much worse than expected Chinese trade data came out.  I expect this to be a very short-term trade with minimal gain or loss; I still think the uptrend is intact (or at least not ready for a reversal just yet).

Short 6A (AUD/USD futures) June '14 contract @ 93.79
Stopped out at 93.79.  I don't have time to keep playing with it, so I'm moving on for now.
