I'm finna ride the tide with energy (oil)
Hey y'all. Because I do not know what is going to be talked about in the OPEC meeting today, and don't care to follow it (because I'm lazy as hell), I will only trade the market's reaction to the risk-event and use historical price analysis to make a trade decision today. To get a clearer sense of market sentiment, please follow the OPEC meeting (it'll bolster your trade basis). What I do know is that both the Russians and the Saudis have agreed to extend the oil production cuts to 9 months instead of 6. If the Russians and the Saudis agreeing on something doesn't shock you, it should. In the past, the Saudis have known the Russians to not deliver their end of whatever bargain they strike and so we'll see. While commodity traders will be all about oil prices and production e.t.c, I will be buying the US dollar against the Canadian dollar and double-downing (by double-downing I mean sell of the units I buy today and then short some more) on it tomorrow until market closes.
Another key data set to be released today is the US trade balance. Per Bloomberg, it is expected to reduce the size of revisions to GDP growth in the second estimates.
The blue-ish diagonal rectangle is my buy zone, although current market price is pretty close to it. I could play it safe and wait till price returns back to the zone, or I could be a lil aggressive and buy at market.
Also note that the pair has been trending down for the past 9 days and so each retracement to the diagonal support is short-lived and is only about 90 pips.
Trade smart and best of luck, y'all!

Trade closed: target reached:
Hey y'all. Everything looks good! My first trade setup worked out and the target was hit within 24 hours of placing the trade netting me at least 90 pips. My second trade is active and it's a good-till-canceled trade. I set it up to close at the market's close by 5pm today and so I can focus on mitigating possible risks I'm exposed to and not worry about profits (or being greedy).
Hope it worked out for everyone too.
Trade Safe!
