Discover How to Judge Trading Risk Using the CAD/JPY as an Example
Judging trading risk is crucial for consistent success. Many traders focus only on reward. But risk assessment comes first. The CAD/JPY pair offers a perfect example. CAD is commodity-linked. JPY is a safe-haven. This cross reveals risk sentiment clearly.
One of the key planks of trading success is in understanding and assessing risk on each trade, and in this example, from the London forex session we focus on the CAD/JPY which has several forces which influence it daily, as with so many of the cross-currency pairs in the yen complex.

Gaps Are Traps
Gaps in price charts often look exciting. They promise quick profits. But gaps are traps for many traders. Price jumps leave empty space. This attracts chasing buyers or sellers. Volume price analysis (VPA) reveals the truth.
Gaps can indeed be traps as this chart from the YM shows. The price action is from our London forex webinar and forex traders may be wondering why they should be looking at related markets as the futures. And the answer is for a view on broader market sentiment which will then be reflected in the buying or selling of currencies that reflect risk appetite such as the Japanese yen.
Why Gaps Become Traps
Gaps form on news or low liquidity. Retail traders rush in. Professionals fade the move. High volume filling the gap shows conviction. Low volume gaps persist longer. Quantum indicators on NinjaTrader or MT5 highlight gap behavior clearly.
