Post Analysis:

- Scratch trade on 3/12/24 around 12:04pm because I am feeling this price will hovering around this level and might hit my stop.

- Price didn't advance as what I hope and it is best to avoid lost.

- Will see if price still has potential to rise on next trading day (3/12/24).

- Should I consider to take profit at 1R as the overall strength meter didn't show significant strength between USD and CAD. That was a better decisions than this very tiny win.

- Strength meter USD and CAD for entire trading day.

- All currencies strength meter
