USD/CAD pair - long term input

I am new to forex trading. However, I am looking to enter long for USD/CAD pair. Any experience forex investor/trader have any good input for me.

I am thinking to hold on till the FOC speaks on Wed or Thursday this week. After at, I would take position.

Input is appreciated. I am going to be long for 6 months.

Thanks.

The last two Reversal Days and subsequent Trail Days (jan11-14 & Jan 25-28) both indicated that this Market would drop which is obviously coming to pass. It is advisable to wait for the next RD & TD confirmation before taking a position either long or short. Leithtec
