Waiting Game - Week Nov 16-21 2008 USD/CAD


  • A short lesson in how waiting can save & make money.  The USD has been looking for direction with confirmation the past 2 days including late Sunday evening. 
  • The flat MA's, Macd, and the volitile whips were sure fire ways to lose, even with good size stops, the risk was totally unacceptable even for quick profits. 
  • The USDCAD took off like a rocket after this period of consolidation.
  • On the Daily, my bias was bullish, even with the severe correction 2 weeks ago.
  • With oil and commodities, bad economic data, uncertainty with financials and bailouts, the CAD was due for some serious pain.  In this case and on Thurs in particular, a 300+ point move
  • Happy to report we took 3/4 of this move and exited while the divergence formed.
  • This is a good chart to reference, when doing nothing was something, doing nothing meant being rewarded for patience.

Disclaimer

Foreign exchange transactions carry a high degree of risk and any transaction involving currencies is exposed to, among other things, changes in a country's political condition, economic climate, acts of nature - all of which may substantially affect the price or availability of a given currency.

Speculative trading in the foreign exchange market is a challenging prospect with above average risk. You must therefore carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and appetite for such risk prior to entering this market. Most importantly, do not invest money that you are not in a position to lose.
