CADJPY trade ideas
#002 NEW DCA CADJPY SHORT RangeThis is a setup I revisited now, now that price has come back to the resistance level of the range.
I spotted this setup yesterday and have placed a sell limit order for it but price didn't take it before moving downwards. I have since then removed the sell limit.
Even though I have another position that buys JPY, but the price movement seems different.
I do not want to think much about it. I am talking more just for the sake of filling up the word count. I think that the more one talks the more they think and the complexity of shet increases, and when the boiling point of drawdown reaches the moon, we blow the account.
So, I will try to talk less.
More pictures. Less talk.

PA #3 : cadjpy sell 10/12/24Post Analysis
Objective: +10% profit
Current Profit: -3.82%
Number of Trades: 0
1. What Did I Do Right?
- I focused on the central question: Is there activity, and if yes, where is the job/activity?
- I correctly identified that the demand/job was related to CAD, which was bearish.
- I selected a bullish asset to pair with CAD, demonstrating strong logic in asset pairing.
- I classified assets into bullish/bearish categories and ranked them by importance. For instance, while both JPY and CHF were strong, I accurately determined that JPY was stronger than CHF, which is crucial for pair selection.
2. What Did I Do Wrong?
- I did not choose the best pair (USDCAD), despite it being a clear candidate based on the job created after the NFP and the overall bullish nature of USDCAD.
- I overlooked the USDCAD setup during my analysis, even though I reviewed the pair.
- I missed the opportunity because I did not consider the possibility of market reactions to CAD, as there was no significant news event for CAD on the day.
3. What Am I Going to Improve?
- Incorporate a quick scan of pairs to check for jobs/demand created in previous sessions or overnight, even if no news event is scheduled for the pair.
- Enhance my focus on spotting high-potential setups like USDCAD by revisiting pairs I’ve analyzed earlier in the session.
Notes :
The fact that I did not take any trades bothers me significantly. I feel like I should be taking more trades.
I can barely bring myself to take a trade, which is an issue. I need to increase the number of trades I take, within reason, ensuring they are based on good setups.
To address this, I will consider reducing the rigidity of my confirmation criteria. This change aims to help me take more trades while maintaining the fundamental questions of identifying activity and selecting the right pair.
I believe this part is critical to improving my trading. I need to find a way to take trades with less confirmation when I encounter a valid setup.

CADJPY Smart Money Concepts (SMC)In modern trading, especially within the Smart Money Concepts (SMC) methodology, terms such as Order Blocks, Imbalances, Breaker Blocks, and Inverted FVG (Fair Value Gaps) are widely used. Below is a detailed explanation of each:
---
1. Order Blocks
An Order Block is a zone on the chart where large institutional investors have left "traces" of their operations, meaning a place where there was a concentration of buying or selling activity. It is typically the last candle before a significant price movement.
Bullish Order Block: The last bearish candle before a strong upward movement.
Bearish Order Block: The last bullish candle before a strong downward movement.
How to use:
Price often returns to order blocks before continuing the trend.
Order blocks are used as potential entry or exit zones.
Example:
If the market is falling and a sharp reversal upwards begins, the last red candle before this rise is the bullish order block.
---
2. Imbalances
An Imbalance is a zone on the chart where demand and supply were sharply uneven, creating "gaps" in the market structure.
These zones are often referred to as FVG (Fair Value Gaps)—an area between the wicks of the first and last candles of three consecutive candles, where the middle candle does not overlap with the first or third.
It is believed that the market tends to fill these gaps, meaning the price often returns to these zones before continuing its movement.
How to use:
Imbalances can serve as a reference for identifying potential retracement zones.
Enter a position when the gap is filled.
Example:
In an uptrend, if the price rises sharply, creating a gap between the wicks of candles, traders can expect the price to return to this area.
---
3. Breaker Blocks
A Breaker Block is a zone that forms when the market breaks a key support or resistance level and begins moving in the opposite direction. They appear where an order block was "broken."
Breaker Blocks indicate that the previously dominant trend has been broken, and the market is preparing for a new movement.
They can also be used to filter valid order blocks.
How to use:
After an order block is broken, the former support/resistance zone can serve as an entry point after a retest.
Used to identify trend reversals.
Example:
In an uptrend, if the price breaks below the previous bullish order block, it becomes a bearish breaker block.
---
4. Inverted FVG (Inverted Fair Value Gap)
An Inverted FVG is a zone where the market provides excessive liquidity in the opposite direction, creating an opportunity for "smart money" to trap traders in the wrong movement.
An Inverted FVG occurs when the market "absorbs" liquidity, making traders believe the trend is continuing, but it is actually a manipulation before a reversal.
It is used to analyze price manipulation and find entry points against the "trap."
How to use:
Enter after the price has covered the FVG zone and confirmed a reversal.
Inverted FVGs often appear in zones that collect stop losses.
Example:
In an uptrend, the price sharply breaks a resistance zone (creating an FVG) but then reverses back and moves downward.
---
Conclusion
Order Blocks and Breaker Blocks help identify zones where large players may enter the market.
Imbalances highlight areas where the price might return to balance demand and supply.
Inverted FVGs help traders avoid traps set by large players and enter the market more strategically.
These elements are especially useful for traders following SMC principles, as they provide a deeper understanding of the actions of major market participants.
CADJPY daily trend continuation (bearish movement)Judging on daily candle (Friday closed candle), obviously we could see that closed price was engulfing the previous day low. Which means seller is in control in my opinion. So today i'm expecting the trend continuation to the downside. Now I'm waiting at the lower timeframe for the bearish price action.
Happy trading & good luck
CADJPY is BullishPrice was in a strong downtrend, however the bulls seem to be assuming control of the price action after the emergence of matured bullish divergence on four hourly timeframe. First higher high is created successfully and if the bullish momentum continues then we can expect a bullish retracement. Targets are mentioned on the chart.
CADJPY: Fundamental Analysis - Bearish BiasCADJPY: LEI, ENDO and EXO SUMMARY (BEARISH Monthly)
LEI INCREASING: CAD is slightly stronger than JPY from LEI Perspective.

EXOs DECREASING: Score is gradually decreasing. GDP of JPY is imporving and Interest hike is anticipated. JPY is slightly more strong from CAD in terms of EXO, but because Global GDP is in RISK-ON stage and CAD has more power as well, hence EXOs are somewhat MIXED.
EXO+LEI MIX INCREASING:
FINAL SCORE DECREASING: Because of JPY ENDO strength.
TRADE BIAS CONCLUSION ON ENDO/EXO:
On Daily, overall CADJPY is giving mixed signals. But on a monthly level it go BEARISH because of ENDO and Final Score is DECREASING. EXO of JPY are improving but EXO of CAD are not too weak due to RISK-ON sutuation. Till CAD interest rate news, CADJPY will be Bearish.

CAD/JPY BULLS ARE GAINING STRENGTH|LONG
Hello, Friends!
Previous week’s red candle means that for us the CAD/JPY pair is in the downtrend. And the current movement leg was also down but the support line will be hit soon and lower BB band proximity will signal an oversold condition so we will go for a counter-trend long trade with the target being at 108.947.
✅LIKE AND COMMENT MY IDEAS✅
Lingrid | CADJPY Trend CONTINUATION Shorting OpportunityFX:CADJPY is currently making lower lows and lower closes, which indicates a bearish trend. The price is retracing toward the resistance zone and the upper boundary of the channel. Given that the major trend remains bearish, this pullback presents an opportunity to short the market. The price action is demonstrating a strong bearish movement, followed by weaker pullbacks, indicating that the bulls are not in control. I anticipate that the market will provide further opportunities for trend continuation in the bearish direction. My goal is support zone around 106.300
