USD/CAD Short. Looking for Large R:R in trending markets

I am usually getting chopped up on the minute charts in the Nasdaq and Russell... Those markets are absolutely brutal... Now I see this market... it looks like someone bought it in a magazine. It's been in a downtrend for 80% of the last year. Since I'm noticing it now is obviously the proper time for it to sharply reverse, but seeing this makes me think that it's possible to take 3 or 4 trades on the entire year and hit your mark. Might be time to start noticing forex, Eric.
