Possibly good for my UC shorts

3 indecision candles for consecutive days. These releases might finally gives direction to UC downwards.

Good job data for both USD and CAD, CAD even better, but the latter is dragged down by oil price at $50 and pointing down.

Thanks. Also noticed the situation with oil. But take the decision to short UC due to position and PA (R61 and 4H bearish candle when took it). Will hold it, esp due to bounce from R100 which also happens to be a strong multi month resistance zone. Will watch PA on the area to decide later on (removed my stop as there might be a bullish trap which is what might be happening at the moment).

Me too short on UC.

On another note, with AUD total crash and AU dropped at its lowest level since 2009 all aussie pairs become interesting, EA, GA, AC are on my watch list.

Keep in mind when trading pay attention to ADR Example UJ last 20days 43 today dropped about 50 already over the ADR so holding for more is not advisable.You may just gave back your gains.
Given fundamentals can push pairs lot more but day like this safe to say UJ dropping lower is not great.Not saying it can't remember anything can happen but seating on gains hoping for more after stretched ADR is lower probability

On the same token if UJ goes to 980+I may reload shorts

Hi Davit, thanks for this heads up, I was just giving back my moderate gain on UJ, after all dollar index is above 98, all latest data on USD have been good and swap on UJ short is really expensive.

As you say there's always the chance to reload.

Unloaded on UJ earlier today for reasons you've just outlined. Seems to just be a pull in the direction of Friday profit taking, I find it more probable that UJ revisits those prices maybe slightly higher taking out stops along the way before one of them healthy drops we see week in week out across the pivots.

AC at WP cross roads given UC is moving slowly south this may get pushed lower.

Re-entered EA short near pivot, watching what it does today, may hold over weekend. No significant news next week on both. Lowe speaking on Thursday due to 7th Australia-Canada Economic Leadership Forum, audience questions expected but I don't expect much from it.

Also holding some UC short.

I think we hear some good news next week according to corona virus. People are getting better so commodity pairs should gain.

I'm happy with it.

My target is to gain 10% per month. Although this week was a little lower, I'm still on the right track.

Cheers!
May the Force be with you.

I wrote about this before but worth refresher.
Market makers dont care about your stops or positions what they care about getting their orders filled.In order to that they must find liquidity clusters so they push price 1st down triggering stops causing their orders filled in millions even billion dollar positions but not all at once.So MM can't place 10billion order at once so every time price drops 20-30 pips chunk of it get filled until all orders get filled then break out occurs as real life example below.Range situation is often position building situation therefore why I prefer to trade most likely direction of break out.Example EC break out likely north.Notice multiple spikes down that's MM filling their orders.
Retail traders in general are predictable that is 20-30pips stops hence on every major support they are below 20-30pips stops which is oxymoron why majority lose in this business not understanding how wide stops should be.Another factor positions too big hence small stops to protect account then get killed.
.
So when price spikes down on major support pivot level DON'T panic! wait calmly!
