closed at 14630... that will do for me!
Target of 1.4590 hit.
89 pips profit.
The cad is setting itself up nicely if anyone cares to look over to a chart
You win some and you lose some.
But if you take the setups (pins at s/r) and let your profits run...you're going to make money consistently.
These two trades would have paid for handfuls of losers.
I now have a bullish bias on Cable after the daily pin and IB at support. I might try the classic "6 - 8am breakout strategy" to get long on this one or consider the hourly PA for entry precision.
Cad/Jpy has set up beautifully so I will almost certainly be looking to get long on that.
Usd/Cad looks too good to be true. I'm tempted to take it but can imagine seeing a pin (to go long) on the Monday close (e.g. price collapses to the nearest level and TL and then is bought back up aggressively).
I am already long Oil which is at a BIG, BIG. BIG level. No setup here but I still feel we'll move higher. I mainly bought it because I saw an advert on IG INDEX's home page saying something along the lines of "if you are thinking of selling oil, get trading"...you know the deal...when you see things like this...the bottom is in or very near. I'm long from $42.85 - if we move down through $40, I'll average some more for the coming rally. Don't trade like this. I can do it because I have a lot of reputation points but on the whole, it is not clever.
Also check out the Bunds. Huge monthly double top was faked out. Hourly has formed a head and shoulders and the path is now set for downwards movement. I have a very bearish bias on these. Although I usually make money on them I am mostly wrong on the trend though - keep that in mind. We might be just pausing for breath before we blow through that top. At any rate, I am short until price says otherwise.
P.S Jesus just told me that there is going to be a rally in the S&P500 tomorrow.
Thank you.
Hi TD, could you just clarify what the 6-8 am breakout strategy is?
I also share your reservation on USDCAD and going against the trend, a long entry signal come Monday close would be nice though
Many thanks
