Out of trade. Wait and see and between i'll analyze reason of these 44 pips lost and come back again.
Hey ALKI: great post. Good to read that you are gonna analyze yer trade. That is where you begin to make $$$. Bestest thing that I learned was notice where the Dly ema's & PA was going. These were yer best indicators. But I could be wrong.

USDCAD will go either way. But in the immediate term, I see it could go lower - how low I have no idea - thus I will average my position as it goes down.

My long positions are mid/long term. So I am playing with bigger stoploss andlarger target.

CAD is supported mainly by canada's exports: Oil, Gold. Oil is lifted by bad weather and with the impending reactivation of the Alaskan pipeline, Oil could go down; watch for the Oil Inventories report later to see how good/bad it is affecting the supply.

Gold is currently consolidating.

If Oil and Gold swings to the downside, we'd see CAD depreciating. Canada dont like a strong CAD (and so is Japan with their Yen, China with their Yuan.. etc), but that does not stop their money from appreciating vs USD...

I am building a mid/long term position long as well. It is too cheap to ignore! Let's hope for some green pips soon!

i had long term short vs AUD, JPY, CHF, CAD. however due to excessive swap on AUDUSD, i had to cut loss on that pair (should have hold on longer... coulda shoulda woulda = not a good mentality). my USDJPY, USDCHF went on to make profit. and now, USDCAD.

FinMin JIM issued typical Canadian response wrt strong Loonie (IMHO dovish but wise). C$ will get stronger & they'll deal with it. Former assumptions are out the window.

Maybe they know that oil is going to go up ( more than we think )

Unable to entertain all these variables, so shall remain a tekkie.

4H:9902 prev supp ( now resistance) 9935 is 50 ema heading down.

Good places to watch for sells (if yer a bear) or buys (if you like most posters here)

Dtf: STO o/s teks say retrace (9923 prev R/S) so, I shall watch for break up
for short buy.

However; juxtaposing fundies: US$ longs being closed. NZ,CAD & OZ being bought.

is that a 4-hour U-Cad you are posting there? looking at the daily .. hard to tell if it's time to buy .. they are cheap is the only thing.

Dtf: RSI down TL break to up (still<50)
STO o/s
+ve MacD Histo divergence.

Last candle suggests bull/bear uncertainty. So two possibles

1) Thinking retrace to 9940 (prev supp) & if break- mayhap to parity.

2) Eyeballing sell if Thurs low (9853 break).

Long term 9600 target.

Keep yer stick on the ice.

Friday Candle is really bad news for Long USDCAD indeed. It reeks of "uncertainty" and suggestive of a possible down slide at least.

wait for europe session to show direction of this pair
  • #3,737
  • Jan 16, 2011 6:38pm Jan 16, 2011 6:38pm
Evening: Yuan;

bullish; but on Histogram ( not macd line which is heading down).

histo divergence is an early warning that MAYBE $ will change direction.

  • Jan 18, 2011 7:45pm Jan 18, 2011 7:45pm
Finally; some direction for pips. At least for a retrace .

Was BoC statement dovish; hence, today's bulls?
The Oz went up ( in spite of the floods). CAD went down.

I be watching for retrace to 1.0000.

Dec 20 to Jan 18 fib ( hi-lo) 9980 ( 38% level) & Dec 3, 15, 29 prev supports.

STO is up & MacD has X'd up on signal ( Dtf).

9868 break lower for me suggests U/CAD short.

Beaver been dropping; so mayhap U/CAD long probable.
