Liquidity levels are below par on this unit today partly due to the Canadian Bank Holiday.
With recent downside momentum (bullish CAD) driving this pair, maybe the line of least resistance would be to �go with the dominant flow� at least until Canadian desks get back to normal again?

Positive S&P Futures & commodities weren�t helping your cause today either.

S&P and OIL are at overbought level, Usd/Cad has strong support level @1.0640. It should see some good reversal coming VERY SOON.

They sure as hell aint today!

I recall the talking heads spouting all that crap last Monday too.
Instead, we get Euro putting another 4 handles in the tank, Sterling 6 handles & CAD popping up through solid resistance barriers @ .084 & .079

Good to see you back, [B]Andre Mayer[/B]. :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Sometimes I think you and Tess are gone for good!!
Tonymand disappears too!!

The girls (& Sean) went on summer vacation back in June Tymen. They�re back middle & back-end of this month.
The activity/visibility on the TT2 thread is very much time dependent.
Whoever is least busy at the time usually takes up the slack, which explains the occasional prolonged absences

Ah…I see.

I trust they have had a good holiday - summer finishes at about end August in the northern hemisphere if I have it correct.

Looking forward to their return!! :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

[B]Stop out @ 1.0690, Gain 40 pips in this trade.[/B]

I assume the bold text highlighting the fact you eventually managed to limit your losses on this move was for my benefit? :slight_smile:

Congratulations!
But it doesn�t alter the fact you got your timing out of whack & were running the wrong way into the early week flows.
Instead of standing aside after your first crash & gauging the appetite of the price action, you attempted to step in front of the clear & obvious downside momentum & try pick another bottom!

You stated earlier in the week, after your initial losses, that .0640 was [I]“a strong support base”[/I] � so why didn�t you wait for signs of a slow down in the bearish momentum & some kind of (temp?) basing around that level before attempting to initiate longs?

After all, your bio suggests that [I]‘calm & patience are the key to the trading’[/I]
You might want to follow your own advice once in a while.

When you�re attempting to attract punters to your $200 per month signal service, it doesn�t look very professional when it appears you�re struggling to determine the difference between an upside & a downside momentum play.

Had you practiced what you preach, on this particular pair anyway, you wouldn�t have had to shell out unnecessary costs to prove that .0640 was indeed a robust fair value zone.

If you’re sniffing around for fresh custom why not contact Babypips management team & discuss paying an advertisement fee for your services like any other professional business? You wouldn�t have to adopt “back-door” practices then. :wink:

If you know what you doing, then it is good…In forex market, you have to lock the profits just in case it didn’t go to the direction that you want.

So we move our stop once target1 hits and able to manage with average gain on 40 pips…

Remove this trade since it didn’t fall back to our entry point before it rally up to target1.

It is real time quick trade.
