Today's Surf

1:15am EST- 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 1.9756 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.9782. Since I was only 6 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level (1.9750), I decided to go for the same amount of pips I was risking on the trade, which in this case was 26. This put my initial target at 1.9730.

Entry: Short at 1.9756
Stop: 1.9782
Initial Target: 1.9730

1:30am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade.
