it's going to be a good buy, oil is plummeting.

besides, Canada is talking about -ve interest rate now.

Last December, Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz gave a talk at the Empire Club of Canada in which he discussed four so-called unconventional monetary policies to desperately help stimulate the Canadian economy.

I would have had hemorrhoids hanging on to those few first trades.....too much risk, but hey it worked out

Seems impossible to say where this thing is going to bottom out but I'm looking at the area around 1.3836 as a possibility. I have this as the weekly S1, and we also saw a bit of sideways PA in this zone back in December. Just waiting for a clear signal to go long.

I'm expecting this pair to just continue the slow drift down until at least Wednesday with the US data release in the morning. Then of course we have all the USD/CAD data on Friday. Looks to me that the anticipation of these releases are overriding the oil/CAD relationship to start the week as oil got crushed with little reaction from this pair. Still watching oil, however, as I'm thinking this pair could begin to turn if the oil rout resumes. In any case, this correction looks to be running out of steam.

Hi C
I plan my trades and trade small.Everyone has different style but I prefer building positions on multiple entries rather 1 large order.The idea is that Price being a moving target one can never hit just right so takes 4-10 trades to harvest the position.Think of it as fish net.

Oil should find S at 30 and next leg should reach 38 pushing UC possible below 136
Oil still has lots of room for correction.
US economy is in precarious stage that which does not sit well considering paradigm of raising rates is countered by lowering by other major economies like Japan and EU.This needs to come in balance or we will have continued Wall street crushes.

Oil dropped more than 6% today while CAD strengthened against USD, are market pricing in bad NFP number this Friday thus diminishing March hike by Fed?

Hi D
Yes you are correct.If you noticed we had Red numbers throughout Jan other then superficial consumer confidence which means little....
We had floods and snow storms and serious Wall Street crushes.Very jittery month and market is projecting a Red NFP and USD is poised for corrections cross the board and Feds even if they wanted they can't raise rates while JPY and Euro are going on opposite trajectory.
Feds timing of hike was totally wrong and US economy will pay the price having to compete with strong dollar is weaker position to be in.

GDP came in weak and the Fed may be pulling back from the assumed four rate hikes.

Did a little write up over the weekend as I've been watching/trading this.

I'm hoping NFP comes in stronger than expected and maybe muddies the fundamental waters a little. I want to short this again just not from these levels.
When you hit 50, coffee becomes part of a proper modeling pipeline.

Hi Davit,
when you say "having to compete with a strong dollar is weaker position to be in" Are you saying the dollar will be the strong currency pair as in a long or the other pair will be stronger I.E USD/CAD going short. Fundamentally i see it same as you do (floods,snow Wall street,bad fourth quarter earnings.etc) i also expect lower NFP numbers but, as i have learned in the past that does not automatically move price as expected. I still have .38100 as strong support even thought it has not got there yet.
Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Hello there,
just started trading few months back.
as for current market USD/CAD
Here's my take.

Go Short on USDCAD M15 (Compression sell) as the price enter supply zone at 1.40977.
SL 1.40989.
TP 1: 1.40778 (easy 10-15pips)
TP 2: 1.40475 (if you have the guts to swing)

Layer the short entry in the supply zone.

managed to get few hundreds pips.

Cheers!
