    There is a tipycal "holy graal" set up on USD/CAD daily.
    1) Large lateral from June to September with double max.
    2) Trend starts in Sept from 1,020 up to 1,07
    3) Retracement (pull back) to mm 20.
    4) ADX (14) > 30 going down after a max.

    higer probability now for a rebound up with possible target in the area of the precvious max 1.65-1.70
    Stop either the min of the today bar for early position or mm 20 if the position is taken tomorrow after green bar.
    A confirmation (a filter for entrance is needed on a shorter timeframe, for example 1 h)
    Regards

    walking to target, 10644 now. :)
     
  4. did you take your profit? I'm still long from 592

    man it's tempting to take that profit everytime it trades above 700, but that would make me too short usd
     
  5. well here we go again
    loonie pushing 700
    third time they've given me a chance to take my profit
     
  6. ah, I took my profit

    now I'm short again from 638

    man, that was a grueling trade

    so many chances to get out at 700 ob

    I stopped reading right there.
     
  8. Trading is still closed on most retail FX platforms, where did you execute that trade Kid.Fx.Cross?
     
  9. ib, opened at 1900

    at anyrate I'm flat at 653 (7:23:53)

    I'm waiting for 8:00 need to call ib

    man, I'm dreading that service call

    They made me upgrade to a new TWS

    now my hot key that I use to enter a new postion reverts back to my predefined presets

    no biggie, just another aggravation

    when I get that set back up the way it use to work, I will go long USD.CAD

    otherwise, nice quick profit last night

    I deserve one, because that last trade lasted for weeks
     
  10. oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the CAD was actually a loss
    but it was just one pair

    good night to be short aud and gbp

    bad night to be short usd.cad and usd.chf

    oh well, you win some and lose some

    size is everything
