We hosted a market collaboration session centered on forex analysis, trading strategies, and market insights, with particular focus on USD/CAD price action, key support and resistance zones, and Fibonacci retracement levels as potential areas for trade setups. The discussion combined both technical and fundamental outlooks, giving traders actionable trading opportunities while reinforcing the importance of patience and confirmation before entries.
The session began with an in-depth look at USD/CAD, where participants reviewed critical technical levels. VFT explained how to map out price action using support, resistance, and Fibonacci retracement zones to time entries and exits effectively. A potential temporary sell setup was highlighted, with traders advised to manage positions carefully and take profit around marked zones.
We then shifted to the US market indices—particularly US30, S&P 500, and Nasdaq (US100). Price movements aligned closely with previously marked technical levels, validating the earlier market outlook. Traders were encouraged to secure profits by closing out 80% of their positions while letting 20% run with stop-losses moved to breakeven, ensuring trades remained risk-free while capturing extended moves.
A key highlight of the session was the breakdown of a fair value gap trading strategy, where a sell position was executed successfully. This trade had been shared in detail during a YouTube replay session, and many traders capitalized on the setup. By splitting risk (0.5% on each entry) and executing disciplined management, participants saw profits of over 1.6%, with the position now running risk-free. This emphasized the power of blending precision technical setups with risk management discipline.
The conversation also revisited previous trades, balancing both wins and losses. VFT reminded the community that the objective is not to avoid losses entirely but to ensure that winning trades outweigh losing ones. One notable trade from Tuesday delivered up to 6.5R profit, reinforcing the benefits of disciplined execution and holding positions according to plan.
As the session wrapped up, traders were reminded to stay cautious ahead of the upcoming NFP data release, which historically causes increased volatility and liquidity shifts across markets. Participants were advised to join the New York session at 2 PM for updated market insights and to realign strategies as conditions evolve.
