Hi Ashraf,

Thanks again for the calls this morning - made out well! Would you agree, these again are good levels to get back in and go short GBP/USD and long USD/CAD - 1.6460 and 1.1600. They seem to have stabilized well, and going in to the Asian session...? Is there a specific (technical) momentum indicator you suggest in times like this? The above question assumes that stocks will stay rational and not rebound by the end of NY trade. Thanks a lot.

Yes, Thanks so much Ashraf! I was thinking GBP/USD was oversold until I read your comment, as I began the NY session. Shorted it late, but in the black! Thanks again. And please don't laugh at me for not doubling my position on USD/CAD - still waiting to catch up. Fine, you can laugh.

Hey Ashraf,

Do we have a weekly bearish "hanging man" reversal in USD/CAD? Doing my best to learn basic chart patterns. Thanks

Hey Speculator -
I linked to those because Ashraf had commented to me on his site that I should look into the Rothschilds and wars in relation to a question I had asked him.

Simply news. Glad you (and hopefully others) found it interesting.

Hey Ashraf,

I really appreciate your advice with everything. I wasn't sure what you meant by not "waiting to regain" and didn't want to close my position down the way it was. I got in rather late. Also, I have thought about doubling down, but I think you say to never do that. I was curious how that is any different from closing a position down and then opening another one right away, if that's what you were alluding to.
I'm still down, but not overly concerned because of the recent bounce. How do you feel about adding to an open position in this case? That is, with expectations of hitting higher targets. Thanks for your patience and time on this site and personally.

Hey forextrader - I definitely noticed that - but also in other Yen pairs as well, part. EUR/JPY - Keeping my fingers crossed for your 1.18-1.19 target -

JT,

Seems this bill would most likely hurt (non-green) energy and oil companies, and the price of oil.

Therefore, CAD would probably suffer the most. My guess is that it will have little impact though. Seems like most news in the FX markets comes and goes in a day or two even if it even does have an impact.

Any other thoughts from anyone?
