The Trade Plan
I’ll be looking to BUY USD/CAD if we get a -0.1% or lower release, and SELL USD/CAD if we get a 0.5% or higher… With recent strength risk aversion sentiment driven market and stock market tumbling, a stronger GDP should provide some support for the CAD and I’ll be looking for a Retracement Trade Method for this release.
