Usd-cad
Sell CAD/JPY | Dec 4, 2019Note: I said in the video that there is no significant data from Canada during NFP release, although employment data from Canada is gonna be released at same time but it will be ignored by the market. I have always seen that other economic data are ignored during release of NFP as traders predominantly focus on NFP.
USD/CAD Weekly Forecast for Next Week - Price AnalysisHello Traders, let's take a look at the USD/CAD and take a look at our plan for the week ahead.
This is interesting because we've seen the dollar strengthening against most pairs this week except the Canadian dollar which has been stronger than the US dollar.
USD/CAD is breaking down into this downtrend and is closing near the lows. That's interesting. I really don't know what to make of it. You know, it's it's such a wild card, the Bank of Canada is not expected to make any type of rate change next week, but it is more about what they're going to signal, as far as their upcoming policy.
So, this is definitely a currency pair that is in play. There is currently trading with strong momentum in this downtrend.

For most new traders, the biggest challenge is getting a profitable strategy that works
for the long term. Usually, trend-following systems are favored because they tend to have
a very good risk-to-reward ratio. Trading the currency market is essentially a numbers
game, basically traders look for strategies or systems that have a positive overall
yield. The profit factor of any strategy is also very essential, because a profitable
strategy should make more money or pips, than it loses. After some extensive research,
I have discovered one of such systems. This strategy is built on one of the oldest
trading adages around; “cut your losses early and let your profits run”
and “the trend is your friend”.
Basket trading involves opening a series of correlated or uncorrelated trades, and after
an adequate amount of time, closing the trades when the overall sum of the trades
is positive i.e. when the net value of all open trades is positive or close to our
targeted profit-value.
It is not 100% guarantee.
The Trading setup
The truth behind the Forex market is that currencies trend. This means that currencies have a tendency to keep gaining or diminishing over a long period of time. There are a lot of concepts about trading cycles and swings, but in reality if we were to zoom out of our charts we would notice a very obvious and unmistakable trend direction. Basket trading involves gauging the potential strength or weakness of a pair, and placing several trades that align with that analysis.
