Oil/Cad: Gigantic spread spotted 

WTI CRUDE OILTVC

Description

I think it might be a good time to trade this pair, short oil, long cad. You can size each leg based on volatility, to risk 1% per side, if price moves against you by 3 times the average true range value of each instrument. Once the spread closes or is close to closing you can get out of both trades.

Good luck,

Ivan Labrie.

Acting well, CAD outperforming oil.

Exit CAD longs, hold oil short.

Trade closed manually

Oil didn't top yet, and it's unclear how it'll evolve from here, better be flat.

Trade active

I reshorted oil after it turned down today.

Comment

The spread will probably close, but I think it means oil will drop faster than CAD for a while.
