TRADE: SELL@1.30148 Gartley CD Leg + wave count

Short
FX:USDCAD   U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar
I'm taking this SHORT sell on this pair right now for a "quick" ride down about +70 pips should it work out. This is based on my wave count expectancy and a Perfect Gartley that the recent price movements are tracing out. But what I am really interested to see is what happens after it has finished this move down. I'll be waiting to take a buy on this pair then.

This should be just a relatively short move down as a retracemrent of the recent leg up before prices make a larger move up to complete what is probably a wave iv corrective move before we see a MUCH larger wave v move down. This wave iv is starting to look as if it will unfold in an ABC (5-3-5) zigzag pattern. Still too soon to be sure though.

Here's the overview of what I am expecting to see happen:

A word on that POTENTIAL cypher pattern you see on my chart and one that I had posted about a few days ago. It was never filled as prices fell short of filling it by a few pips before dropping. However, as you should know, patterns are on the chart only because we put them there. Not because the market cares that there's cypher present! Therefore, prices do not move because of a pattern being present. It moves because it has reached a certain area that traders felt was worth selling at. It was very close to the cypher but that price where it reversed and dropped from was indicated by the cypher. So in that respect, that cypher has done its job and I do not consider it to be valid anymore should prices follow the route I think it will and move back up later.

MY TRADE PLAN
My TP will be on the completion of this perfect gartley pattern. Stops are going above the (b) point of my wave count since if prices move above that point, then the abc count I am expecting for wave (B) is not correct.
