Today I would like to share my thoughts on the USD/CAD currency pair.
I base my trades on technical analysis using major reaction highs and lows, ABCD retracements and fibonacci levels.
This is actually my first post so I won't get deep into anything, I just believe that right now is the time to go long the Canadian dollar. In the forex markets the most direct way to accomplish this is by selling the usd/cad currency pair. So we are in fact shorting something to go long, and if that is a strange concept then read up on trading basics, should be lots of websites available for that.

The green line in this image is the entry point for the trade at 1.3460 or better, the red line is the stop loss at 1.3670 . The black dotted lines with a T are the targets, short and long term. Risk management for this trade consists of moving stops to breakeven when the first T at 1.3000 is reached and taking profits at this level on half of your position to eliminate risk. Close out the rest of the position at the lower T at 1.1950
Good trading!
