EUR/CAD has once again made it's way back down and currently trading under the 1.44 mark. If the pair can stay below 1.44 we may see a move to 1.43 where it may find support.
For now, we will lock in more pips by adjusting stop from 1.4515 to 1.4480 to lock in a total of +60 pips on our remain position. Stay tuned for further adjustments as we continue to target 1.4250!
Good luck!
Trade Update: 2007-09-11 07:45
EUR/CAD fell throughout the Asia trading session and through the European trading session, all the way down to 1.44 hitting our first profit target along the way....
Half of our trade was closed to lock in 90 pips at 1.4450, and now we will adjust our stop on the remaining position.
Instead of moving stop to breakeven, we will move to 1.4525. This will lock in an additional +15 pips and create a risk free trade.
Stay tuned for more updates!
Trade Idea: 2007-09-10 11:25
In our last trade idea, we tried catching the bottom of the EUR/CAD range, but unfortunately missed out as it rallied. Today, we are going to short EUR/CAD all the way down as it is now trading at the top of its range.
As we can see from the chart, EUR/CAD has found resistance and could be bouncing off of the Bollinger Bands. Also, stochastics are showing the the pair may be overbought and ready to turn lower.
We will enter in the position at market at 1.4540, with our stop just outside of the bollinger bands and our profit targets at the center and bottom of the range.
Short at market (1.4540), stop at 1.4610, pt1 at 1.4450, pt2 at 1.4250
Stay tuned for trade adjustmenst and remember to never risk more than 1% of your account on any single trade. Adjust position sizes accordingly.
Good luck!
