6/2 Forex

Three new breakouts among the 124 currency pairs I follow.

sym	phase	adx	bday	blevel	stop	atr	atr%
CAD/NOK+*		24	jun2	Nkr5.4925	Nkr5.5569	0.0644	1.2%
CHF/PLN		33	jun2	zł3.2915	zł3.2475	0.0440	1.3%
EUR/TRY		27	jun2	TL2.3011	TL2.2817	0.0194	0.8%

Major currency pairs, which carry lower margin in the United States, are marked with a plus sign (+) after the symbol. My holdings are marked with an asterisk (*).

CAD/NOK is aligned with the carry rate, with a 180+ basis point advantage.

The other two breakouts are counter to the carry rate; CHF/PLN has a disadvantage of more than 400 basis points, and EUR/TRY, of more than 700 basis points.
