No trading today as I kept all my positions. I am a bit under the weather with a minor cold as well so I don't really feel like trading too much either.

The markets are consolidating nicely here and I will be watching the Nasdaq market to break out or down of the ascending triangle that it has been forming the last 5-6 days.

Oil was down over $4 today which led the TSX lower so keep an eye on a rebound for Oil. A continued weakness in the US$ will help Oil and commodity prices back up and right now the US$ is consolidating after the nasty slide it has taken the last few weeks between 1.08-1.09. If US$ breaks $1.0777, watch out and I would be very bullish on commodities.

I will be looking to short the USD/CAD again if it breaks support at $1.0777.

Most of the stocks I am holding right now are on the Nasdaq, which has performed remarkably well in these markets. That is why I am monitoring this market more closely as well as the S&P500 for overall broad direction of the markets. Both are trading in a neutral range right now.
