i got screwed too... wow and i was so confident i was going to make a killing lol wow
It still possible to drop, but NFP is very high risk and volatile, with CAD data not in favor, I rather move out than gamble with NFP result again..

You just start short it today? Its very late to short today, you should just wait for opportunity to long instead if you don't have any position earlier.. Later on NFP will be even more volatile, be careful with your trade..

I was shorting it it because i was pretty sure it was going to to hit the bottom support level, then i was going to go long from there... and just leave it until it retraces back to highs. I should have known better. But there's no such thing as a free lesson I guess. What are your plans?

just relax, those news just have a short term effect. I went short earlier ago and i will keep them till mid next week depending on the development. I dont think we have reached the low yet. Just look at your d1 chart.

My original plan of the day: Close my short by end of the day today and long usdcad on monday if:
1. CAD data good or as forecasted
2. NFP result is good or as forecasted

With the condition 1 already not in favor, I rather clear of my position and watch and wait for new opportunity.. Let's see how it goes..

0.4% of the work force have stopped looking for work.

Good thing I DIDN'T pull out of my losing USD/CAD long prematurely.
Risk-off back on. Finally.

yup.. with NFP passed, it looks safe to long usdcad now, but I will only enter on monday to enjoy better weekend
It might create double bottom later on around 4am..

Yes i saw that...but i waited for confirmation.....nice post by the way sneaky russian. that was a sneaky post. Also...Look at Eur/CAD it is just bouncing off its trend line...its usually a lag to the usdcad. Good trade on that puppy right now.

Do you trade EUR/USD ? If you do ... besides considering EZ problems ... also do remember ... US problems . Those in chart are possibilities only ... might also re-visit 1.37 / 1.38 IF it decides to continue the uptrend.

Does my chart looks sloopy ... with many lines ? Yes it does ... but mind you ... my trendlines represent where the big monies are ... How about yours ?
