A few charts and musings as we head into the new week of trading. My best wishes to all our friends here for a successful one.
EURGBP : I had a feeling that this one had overshot last week and placed my view on the live blog and in our room. I am out of my short ( late Friday trading ), yet still very much like the downside and aim to pick this one off ( short positions ) early this week. No idea how the market will open and how the new week will judge this pairing. I am confident in attempting to pick this one off on higher prices. The blue area will be my comfort zone for the short bias.

USDCAD ; I’m holding short into the new week alongside a very lucrative EURCAD short positioning from Thursday of last week. I’ve often posted about the guys on this site quantifying and dissecting the news in a special way. Maybe I’m biased.-Get a load of this post from Ryan if you haven’t already ‘clicked on to it’ Trading is a lonely business sometimes ( most of the time, to be honest with ourselves ) , yet I get a great boost when others are able to covey my own thoughts and my reasons for liking a particular trade / bias into words and action ……………..Must give a shout to Luke, Chef and Magic man who also had a pip fest last week on these in our trading room .
USDCAD H4 chart (pre open)
We could get a kick higher on this one ( judging by where we ended up on Friday ) – I’m only seeking to add to my short position from here. I included the Ichimoku cloud in the chart above. – This will be my cut off / stop loss / rethink area for my short from here If price were to breach the red horizontal line ( top of cloud ) on the above chart .

Great trades Dubs … I’m watching those too. Add EURJPY on the long side
Good stuff Dubbers. Failed to maximise usd/cad but profit is profit. Eur/chf was my trade of the week last week. Into his coming week if risk on continues then long equities, eur/chf and quite possibly long jpy crosses but March clouds Jpy for me.
I like the idea of shorting E/G, personally I prefer to trade cable using E/G as an indicator
By the way, I grabbed 50 pips at my TP on the NZDJPY trade you posted last week. Beers are in the mail
Superb post and even better trading H.
Hi Dub, something tells me we can be wrong, according to weekly chart can be next leg up to .9010
It’s always good to have a plan B mike 🙂
The best we can do when we have a preference or bias is to place stops. As we know they are not all going to be winners. The market giveths and likes to take away on occasions, that’s the only sure thing eh 🙂
