About Pick of the Day

Each day, I will try to find what I believe is the best looking short term trade setup for the upcoming trading day or week. If you're a forex newbie, it can be tricky in the beginning trying to figure out how to look at charts and draw lines. My goal is help you understand the psychology of price movements so you can learn to analyze your own charts and trade on your very own. I will post my ideas and/or reviews through out each session right here, on Twitter and on Facebook.

Pick of the Day: USD/CAD

Posted 23:44 30 October 2006 | Comments

Good evening! Well, it’s last “Pick” of the month, so let’s make it a good one! We’ve got quite a few economic reports in the upcoming US trading session being released – most notably Canadian GDP and US Consumer Confidence at 8:30 am EST. The Loonie took a beating from the Greenback yesterday, but I see it as an opportunity to jump in the pair short and continue to ride the trend. The pair failed to break above the 1.1260 which was a previous high. I see the pair going down, especially after the Canadian GDP, in which the market is expecting better numbers as the Canadian economy’s growth accelerates. Also, the market is expecting a pretty good US Consumer Confidence number, but many may ignore that as US economic data has been weak as of late. So, I’m looking to go short on USD/CAD.

Short USD/CAD @ 1.1230, stop @ 1.1250, pt1 @ 1.1210, pt2 @ 1.1180
