Trade active at 1.31 (short USD/CAD )
Looking to add more shorts above 1.31 this week.
Hoping for USD/CAD to go up tomorrow (FOMC/rate decision), and I will add more shorts between 1.31-1.32. Can possibly go higher, but I doubt it, low probability.
And then hoping for trend to start reversal on Friday (Canadian CPI) and into the next week, and week after.
Trade time: 1-2 weeks.
Personally, I will put stops at 1.33 or 1.33500, depends what my average short is.
1st target: 1.29500
2nd target 1.27500
If things look like they won't go below 1.29500, I will close all positions there. Have to manage risk and be flexible. Markets are brutal as always.
Don't put more than you can risk...if you want to get in the trade now, you can, but use small positions until you can get good shorts above 1.31
I'm bullish on OIL long-term, which will definitely help Canadian dollar. And bearish on USD in short-term.
And technical indicators are all overbought, so very good probability of a reversal, whether it's shallow or a deeper.
Overall, low risk trade.
Note: I am also short on GBP/CAD at 1.83700, feel free to short that pair as well. Although it's down to 1.83000 currently and personally I wouldn't add a new short position unless it goes back up to 1.83700/1.84, but if it does, it's a good pair to short now as well.
Note 2: If you want to short GBP/CAD , split your margin between USD/CAD & GBP/CAD . Pick 1 pair to short.If you want to short both pairs, half your position in each.
