The tribe has spoken! We had four brilliant trade ideas going neck and neck, but one was able to inch ahead of the rest.
The winner of the Trade of the Week Contest for June 13 to 17, 2011 is none other than monstapips!
Here’s his little trade idea:
USD/CAD, Daily
Long or Short: Short
Entry Point: Short at .9690
Stop Loss: .9910 – above recent highs
Profit Target: .9450
Risk percentage: 1.0%
Reward-to-risk Ratio: 2:1
Indicators used: RSI
Trade Rationale: The pair has consolidated into a really tight range lately and is still trading within a rising wedge. I feel that a break out is coming and I am favoring a break down lower.
