USDCAD, nicknamed the “Loonie” after the common loon featured on the Canadian one-dollar coin, is a major currency pair with a close relationship to crude oil prices. Canada is one of the world’s largest oil producers and exporters, so the Canadian dollar is strongly correlated with WTI prices.
This oil/CAD correlation creates unique opportunities for thematic trading: when oil prices rise, the CAD tends to appreciate, pushing USDCAD lower. Traders who follow energy markets often find USDCAD a highly readable instrument to trade.
For prop firm challenges, USDCAD is especially active during the US session, when the two North American economies generate most of their activity. Weekly US oil inventory reports (EIA), Canadian employment figures, and Bank of Canada decisions are the main catalysts for volatility.
With volatility of 50 to 80 pips per day, USDCAD suits a wide range of trading styles, from scalping to swing trading. Its technical clarity makes it a go-to instrument for many professional traders.
Trade USDCAD on TopTraderPrime with a spread of 0.20 pips and leverage of up to 1:100.
