This USDCAD FOMC buy signal was planned before the major news event, when volatility was expected to expand and create a stronger directional move. PreferForex prepared the trade idea in advance instead of chasing the first fast candle after the announcement.
The setup delivered a strong result. Price moved from the 1.3180–1.3182 entry zone and reached the final target at 1.3390, giving our premium members up to +210 pips from this trade.

Original Trade Alert
Before the FOMC event, PreferForex shared the following USDCAD buy setup with premium members:
Buy USDCAD from 1.3180–1.3182
SL: 1.3020
TP1: 1.3300
TP2: 1.3390
This was not a random news trade. The idea was prepared before the event so traders could understand the entry zone, stop-loss level, and target plan before volatility increased.
How the USDCAD Trade Played Out
After entry from the 1.3180–1.3182 zone, USDCAD moved higher and reached the first target at 1.3300. The move then continued toward the final target at 1.3390.
From the lower part of the entry zone at 1.3180 to the final target at 1.3390, the total movement was approximately 210 pips. This made the setup one of the stronger news-based trade results shared with our premium members.
The key point was preparation. Strong news movement can create opportunity, but only when the trade has a planned entry, stop loss, and target structure before price starts moving fast.
Why FOMC Trades Need a Clear Plan
FOMC events can create sharp movement in USD pairs because traders react to interest-rate expectations, policy language, inflation outlook, and Federal Reserve guidance. During this type of event, spread can widen and price can move quickly in both directions.
That is why PreferForex does not treat every news candle as a trade. A trade idea needs a clear entry area, a defined invalidation level, and realistic targets. Without that structure, traders can easily enter late, place poor stops, or close too early from emotion.
In this USDCAD setup, the plan was simple: prepare before the news, wait for price to respect the buy area, and allow the trade to run toward the planned targets.
Trade Result: +210 Pips Profit
The USDCAD buy signal reached the final target at 1.3390. Members who followed the full setup from the entry zone had the opportunity to secure up to +210 pips.
PreferForex has shared many profitable trades during high-impact news conditions. This result was especially strong because the move respected the planned structure and delivered both targets.
- TP1 reached: 1.3300
- TP2 reached: 1.3390
- Total movement from entry: approximately +210 pips
- Setup type: News-event preparation trade
PreferForex View
This USDCAD trade shows why preparation matters more than reaction. News trading becomes dangerous when traders chase candles after the move has already started. A planned signal gives traders the structure they need before volatility expands.
At PreferForex, our focus is to share trade ideas with clear entry, stop loss, take profit, and market context. Not every news event creates a clean opportunity, but when the structure is valid, high-impact events can produce strong movement.
