{quote} Hi Hal. Nice roundup. One small thing - when you say CA, you mean UC (USDCAD), right?
But for some reason because I use CF for CHF, I want to used CA for CAD.

And since you brought up the CA here is a little something to go to the dissertation I posted previously.
Here is a leveraged trade I took just today on that pair. I shorted the CA off the arrow down bar around 11:00 my time, London about wrapping for the day. You can see the previous long trade I was in actually I made two long trades there. I got profit and got stopped out probably on a trailer, but it would have been nice to have stayed in, it ran about +68.
I needed 7.8 pips on the short at 5x to clear a whopping 29 pip loss I had taken on the EU earlier in the day. It looked very grim early on and took hours hours before I was very fortunate to get to +7.8 and knocked out that loss and got a nice profit to boot.
Why I had mentioned leveraged trades can be very dangerous but sweet when they work

Oops I meant short, it's Friday. My initial stop was 9 pips, so far haven't moved it. Also note it moved 2 pips up toward the hi before coming back down. Is it better to wait for a significant move toward the hi? Often times I have seen slight or no movement and resulted in some big moves so I opt not to screen that way.
