If USDCAD drops this afternoon it'l be a big move IMO, this will be the 8th or so go at breakthing through this area over the past couple of months and each time its failed and dropped big, along with a double top formation on the 4hr and the high impact news releases aswell today, lets see...

Ok, If I was to go long, I'd wait for a pullback to around 1.2929/1.2925 and wait for confirmation of a breakout north, but thats me
Got there in the end, now lets see...

Entered long @ 2933, TP hit @ 2945/daily pivot. I prefer to take little bits of the whole, instead of going for those 100+ pip moves. They all add up.

Indeed, sell order was hit at 1.0033, TP was at the whole number of 1.0000, from the trade opening to being closed was about half a second, never made money as quick in my life, lol.

USDCAD is the only pair that I've found when it spikes, the spikes stay down/up, so its wise to have buy/sell orders placed around news like today, win win.

Welcome, PA is the only way to trade IMO, I find the price moves between points (S/R levels, pivots, whole/half and quarter numbers) and is attracted to these points like flies round shit, it'l reach a level, smash through or stall then carry on, or stall and reverse.

whole/half and quarter numbers (example 1.0000, 25, 50, 75) are one of the most overlooked and often ignored forms of trading I've found, however these levels on any pair are well respected.

Good pippin'

Thanks for the welcome.

I am calling it a night, I'm based in New Zealand so is 2am.
+4.5 (R) for today so happy with that, should have been +8 if not for the experimental trades I took, trying to get a 5 pip stop on some 5 min EUR trades.

Have fun

Broke my rules looking at you guys making all the money entering at Supply and Demand zones No trend setups today. Entered with nice 15M pin bar formation. Unfortunately stopped out -7. Not a big deal. Still working on trade exits. Most important thing is that I understand the idea of trading at Supply and Demand zones.
