Main Trend
Current Trend= The trend remained down the entire day.
Today I only looked for short trades.
Today's Surf
2:15am EDT- There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down, and MACD went from positive to negative. This was a valid entry. The entry was at the close of the candle at 2.0141 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 2.0154. Since I was 41 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my target at 2.0100.
Entry: Short at 2.0141
Stop: 2.0154
Initial Target: 2.0100
2:00am EDT- My target was hit. Price did not make a clean break so I took my final profit.
4:30am EDT- This was a news candle so there was no entry.
10:45am EDT- There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down, and MACD was positive and losing value. This was a valid entry. The entry was at the close of the candle at 2.0032 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 2.0072. Since I was 32 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 2.0000
Entry: Short at 2.0032
Stop: 2.0072
Initial Target: 2.0000
11:00am EDT- My target was hit. Price did not make a clean break of my target so I went ahead and took my final profit.

Yep, look's good
Just something I have noticed in backtesting. Where a trade is not taken it is nearly always because MACD has already crossed. RSI and Stoch seem pretty well superfluous
Hy!
I'm new to forex. I tried your sistem, but I guess I don't understand it. I can get my macd as you gave it on the charts.
Yours is going from positive to negative.
Mine has only one side so I can't read the signal.
If you know what I'm doing wrong please teel me.
Thanks
If you could answer to my e-mail mitja.zitnik@hotmail.com
Hello thudercv, He's using the MACD histogram using spread without the MACD, Average lines. It all depends on how you plot using your charting software. If your software allows plot the spread with or without the lines to suite to your preferences.
Hello, I would like someone to tell me how is defined "clean break".
Thank you.

That's a good question VonSmeid. I would like to know that to.
I wanted to ask thing.
Why are we using a 5,10 moving average. It's a bit late in the trend. Could a 3,6 moving average make a quicker entry.
