Afternoons are so slowwwww on this pair. But had a great day so far, cannot wait to cash out and reenter long. To bad I don't have lots of beer, would make the waiting more interesting. Take that back, I am going to fix the beer problem in 5,4,3,....

Sigh. I've had a big short open since two days at 1.28. I've had decent profits two times but never got my TP and now I'm back in red. Why can't this damn pair go straight down like it has done for months and years. I expected this to at least get to 1.2675-50 but for some reason it hit a wall right in where it previous didn't stop.

UCad tends to move both ways extensively, based on my recent interest in UCad (more here).

It's a pair that is very volatile....40 pips should be in your expectations...you must be over-leveraged...how many lots did you put through and what's your equity/account size?

This is what I have right now. Just look at that PA. In the past two months it has never moved like this and yet now it suddenly jumps up and down 100 pips.
It made lower lows, was moving along nicely with the help of Poroz and now look. All the way back up with me in red, again.

Doesn't this look like a triple top setup? The third top is weaker than the previous two and it's at the top of a corrective bullish move.

The second time the price went down it failed to actually break through. It's like a text book short setup from babypips:

Is there another way to look at it which would make it a more bullish setup?

The monthly had formed strong bullish setup long ago- strong Pin Bar, on September. The setup was too strong and gradually picking up.

Moves like this (no fundamental reason) is usually stop run, Or, a mover is putting on or taking off big position. Shorting now is low probability of success.

4H Trend has reached just under verified resistance, has to come down a bit to reload. Am not figuring to hold this short for much time, don't want to miss the fantastic upcoming long that I see in my indicators on the daily, weekly, and monthly. Just want to scalp a quick 100 pips more or less before the turn. Plus I am only throwing in 1 lot because of the probability.

Am I missing something with USDCAD? This still looks like a good short long term, no? I mean, the price has now tried 1.29 FIVE times and failed.

Can you define how you are using "long term"? I am not trying to be sarcastic, its just that some people scalp on 5M and see long term different than someone who may trade on the 4H, etc.

I'm trading 4H and up so long term as in, the next month(s).
From what I see is we have been in a range since mid October, and believe it or not, we are still in the uptrend. I see we are coming to the end of the 4H uptrend. There are indicators stating we will be going down a bit on the 1H, & 4H, but the higher time frames show we will be going higher before a large drop. However, I could be wrong, have been before. This is just what I see on my indicators. Guess we will see next week, I try not to overthink these things and just follow my indicators. I get a lot more success that way.
