USD/CAD
Christopher Lewis states in his analysis of the USD/CAD; “The pair has been trending down for the longer-term, so this move would be the one with the least resistance going forward as well.” This creates a possible investment opportunity on the instruments: “Low”, “Touch Down” and “No Touch”.
I logged into the optionFair trading platform and traded $1500 using the "Low" instrument. This kind of option has a possible return of 81% if the option closes below the target price, meaning that if the signal is correct I could get a return of $1215 on my investment.

EUR/USD
Christopher Lewis states in his analysis of the EUR/USD; “…expect plenty of extreme volatility over the next few months". This infers a possible investment opportunity in the following positions: “Boundary-out” on the EUR/USD.
