I think it will be due for some retrace soon...with stocks down again today, it doesn't look like it will be coming yet. But I have my limit...
I was taken out of the second 1/2 at -31pips, essentially putting me at breakeven. Even with the NFPs as bad as they were, the dollar rallied...
I took 1/2 off the table at +29 points...will look to get the rest off soon. I was hoping for a larger move down and I won't be risking the NFP...
Short USD/CAD, looking for a decent drop back to 106.5ish levels, will move stops to b/e asap. The risk/reward on this trade is excellent,...
I hate to be a cheerleader, giving congrats to trades that weren't according to plan and just came out lucky...but good work on the gains...
Limit sell placed @ 108.01 on the USD/CAD...not sure if it will hit or not, trying to catch another spike at the "top" forming for a 100-150 pips...

I was liking this short idea as well...nice little downward channel on the hourly.
106.1 hit overnight for the last 1/4 of that USD/CAD short.

bumped the t/p up to 106.10, in an attempt to avoid any support bounce @ 106. S/L remains at breakeven. We just closed up the hourly...
Stops moved to B/E, +15 pips. Rethinking this one...and seeing an ascending triangle on the 3hour...global USD strength and a bit too much risk...
**sorry, I went ahead and edited the post. I just wanted to make a quick mention here, then go post charts to my blog, then come back and edit :)
Short USD/CAD @ 106.79, S/L above the 7 day high (107.75 or so), targeting 105.7. This is a larger "full size" trade for me so will look to...
Ha, well it was risk free. USD/CAD short stopped out at breakeven. This was a pretty small position so I wasn't looking to take 1/2 profits...
Stops moved to breakeven, also pulled my t/p up a bit to 104.7 Risk free & +115pips at the moment.
Impressive. Enjoy your time off :)
