Hi Venn,

I've been long since 1.0190 and target to 1.0420 which IMHO is the top of the current pennant. Of course I am ready to stay in if it break out to previous highs of 1.06XX. However, I had planned a retrace of 30% once it reaches the top of the pennant and then back up again. Sadly though, I think it was a miscalculation because it's just retraced 80+ pips (
Locking my balls .... (+270)

These two are always calm ... but likes to make surprises ...

probably due to 'quiet' intervention by BOJ and SNB ...
Venn are those limit orders or are you actually in at the bottom/top on each of those?

That's pretty awesome to have it locked in on the top and bottom of those big moves...hat's off to the precision of those entries across all majors. Very nice.

are your current open positions on the long side? Are you longing (pun intended) for a bounce upwards on that middle fib @1.022? or hoping for downwards action?

Lock some of yr profits would be a good plan ...

Re-enter at best possible price if it is taken out (with profits).

at this juncture Im looking for up moves ...

Should market doesn't agree to my dreams ... well ... the shorts can follow to the bottom of the ocean.

Any positions which are too near to PA will be put to B/E.

edit : Look at some of the earliest posted charts . Hd positions before in 0.9 - 1.06 in U/C ... why don't I know about U/C ? (post # 1888 is one of them ... what I did to those 3 pairs ... ).

1.020 is my magical ichimoku support level on the d1 chart (if it goes that low which i am not so sure of :S )

I am currently short. I have been trailing it down. I will look to trail it tighter as it hits 1.02, as I believe it is a strong support as well.

At this hour ... commodity currencies are moving up... (CAD/AUD/NZD being bought and USD being sold). CAD and AUD being dump by NZD.

but for U/C no decision yet until they 'kiss' each other ...

either they will retract or protract ... (Is that the correct words ? )

When they meet ... sometimes slaughtering in U/C might happen , whipsaw . Minimize yr risk by locking profits or BE ... whatever ..

Personally, I'm not touching U/C with a 10-foot pole until there is some clear direction in the market. Right now the obvious trend is downward, but that could very well change with Europe coming online in the next few hours. We also need to keep an eye on the situation in Iran. Typically, if oil goes up CAD strengthens and the downward trend will continue.

Long EUR/CHF seems like an obvious trade to take seeing as it is so close to the 1.21 peg, but my gut is telling me not to do it with the uncertainty in Europe.

Also keeping an eye on NZD/USD for signs of a reversal, but an ideal entry point may not show for a day or so..

Its not about Canadian dollar. USD gets hammered in most of the pairs.

Fundamental factors that affect the Canadian dollar do affect the pair. Yes, the USD is getting hammered right now, but I was pointing out other factors that could influence it. Its just my opinion anyway, to be taken with a grain of salt
