About Art of the Chart

Art of the Chart Author I'll be scouring the charts for "actionable masterpieces". These will be signficant chart patterns or set-ups that I feel are not only tradeable, but also have a high probability of making big profits with little risk. Whenever I spot an "actionable masterpiece", I will post an annotated chart (my chart art) along with an explanation. My goal is to help you learn how to spot these low ocurring but highly profitable "actionable masterpieces" yourself.

Sell USD/CAD

This pair has rallied for a couple of weeks now from its low around 9950s. There is hidden bearish divergence on the weekly chart where price has made a lower high while the oscillator makes a higher high. I see the recent rally as a correction and now look for the downtrend to resume.

USD/CAD, Weekly

There is also regular bearish divergence on the daily chart where price has a higher high while the oscillator has not.

USD/CAD, Daily

I'm going to short now at 1.0075. My stop loss (SL) will be 1.0225, above its recent swing high. My initial profit target (PT) will be 0.9950. I will post any trade adjustments in my comments section below.

is PT 0.9950 or 0.9650 then?
I like the idea, the uptrend is definitely showing signs of slowing, but I think I'd wait for a bearish candle on the weekly chart before I entered. I think USD interest rate could give you a nice boost in the right direction..
shebeisen, PT is 0.9650. akeakamai, there was a bearish candle on the weekly chart. do you see last week's shooting star?
Oh sorry, I should have said a bearish "confirmation" candle, as in a red candle that pierces into the candle before the shooting star. The entry would be undoubtedly worse, but I like to play it safe!
Hi Ninja, Is your trade still open after the FOMC 25 points cut? If yes, why do you think it will go down now? Thank you. ./Siva
malikkal, yes, the trade is still open, still for the same technical reasons. FOMC was more of a distraction.
Hi I understand all the talking in this blog. I don`t understand why does this pair grow. Is there any "major" reason for it? How long do you predict growth happening, should I open a long trade an catch fev pips.
This trade stoped out..... huge loss...
h9402486 Not yet I guess : ) because his stop was at 1.0225 it havent reach it yet. I am reentering it at 1.0200 at least if it doesnt make out only loss by 25 pips and if it does drop as the ForexNinja suggested can get more pips I guess : ) Good luck
224107, UCAD reached 1.0233 around GMT 16...
h9402486. I see : ) But I am still shorting it... Just want to see it to go down again Good luck to you my friend
Halo, The core retail sales, and PPI that came in much better than expected, ditched this trade. Better luck next time. ./Siva
It looks very obvious to me the loonie is headed to supports at .9921, .9823, and possibly .9652. Of course, this will take a few weeks to develop.
Is there a way to PM people here?
