As of writing we missed being brought into the Aussie trade by one tick on the futures.

No fill on the forex yet either, close but not quite.

I got up this morning thinking I may have made a fortune on the USD/CAD mentioned last night; no such luck.   It didn’t even come close to triggering.   So I am now cancelling the order.

Now that the Fed stuff is out of the way, I’m back on the case.   Just popped in an order to BUY the USD/CAD pair at  1.01470   Target is 75 pips;  my stop has not reared its head just yet but I’ll start to sweat if it breaks down below 1.00780.   Remember when markets are this volatile and stop distances are this big, bring your size way way down.

Let us kick back and wait and see what the Fed is going to do before exposing ourselves to the markets.   Trade will likely be a choppy-go nowhere-thin-account killing affair to which I want no part of.  Keep your powder dry and we’ll see you tomorrow afternoon!

Skunked again!   Order now pulled.   I now will wait until after the FOMC announcement before I put on any new trades, it’s just not worth the risk.
