USDCAD - Retrace to the top
Hi friends,
First of all I would like to say that I am BEARISH USDCAD pair LONG term.
This idea is to try to execute a LONG SCALP catching safe portion of retrace move of initial drop from resistance. Or resistance re-test if you will.
I have identified a POTENTIAL bearish Bat pattern and today we broke its B point which allows us to trade BAMM move to measured D point.
Entry - is on B point break and ideally re-test.
Target is Bat's D point at 0.886 fib exit automatically when target hit.

Set trailing SL to ensure this trade to be profitable. Never let profitable trade go into loss.

This idea demonstrates how important it is to secure and ensure profits after trader entered the trade and price moved into your favor. Especially when trading BAMM moves B->D portion of C->D leg. Because it is being traded on not completed and anticipated pattern.
Since this POTENTIAL Bat pattern is not invalidated yet. We can do another second attempt to catch that B->D move when/if B point is broken up.
Bat's invalidation happens when price goes below C point.
Going below X point will give us a nice short trade BUT that would be another idea.

Price approaching B point line again. Let’s get ready to do a second attempt of this trade if it breaks it.

This trade is NOT going well. I have placed SL at March 19 low which considering profit taken from first attempt is a break even. If SL gets hit I will gladly let this trade go with no loss and close this idea.

Who would have thought that this trade survives... lol. I will keep that SL though.

Move Stop Loss to a little higher than Break Even. NEVER let winning trade to become a loss!

Setup trailing SL to secure more profit. This trade take more than anticipated time and might not work out as expected.

Trailing SL got hit with PROFIT today. No position at the moment. Potential Bat Structure is being invalidated over time so I am closing this idea.
