I remain long USDCAD in the Premium Insights as well as in my own trading. Sitting on a loss. I may have to take a partial loss and hedge the rest via short NZDCAD.

One guy said 1000-1

50-1 is a decent middle ground between leverage and being able to sleep at night.
Obviously, your account's survival rate can be boosted by how much of your account is tied to open trades. If no more than 20% is used in positions then leverage may not be as crucial as if you were using 70% of your account.

Draghi's ECB has found a new toy called "jawboning".
It will try experimenting with it and drive traders a bit crazy.
Once traders get realize there are no more tricks, they'll send it shooting upwards to test any new tricks.
1.4080-1.4120 is increasing possibility.

Interesting targets. Care to give a timeframe?
In the long term, yen crosses and yields are seen going down not up. But i still have a few longs in USDJPY for my personal account.
Higher confidence trades remain Aussie crosses and GBPUSD

None of the "big" bank currency strategists know why ECB has not acted.
None of the "big" bank currency strategists know why they got their USD forecast wrong in Q1.
As I said many times before, Draghi wants to keep "hands off" mode as long as there is no crisis and no rising bond yields. So why resort to unusual policies such as QE or negative rates when Germans are opposed to these unless there is an emergency.
SO far, there is no emergency, and 0.5% CPI is not emergency.
