Cowabunga System Daily Update: Friday, 05/09/08

If this is your first time visiting this blog, read this first! 

Main Trend

Current Trend= The trend remained down the entire day.

Today I only looked for short trades.

News events to watch for today :

Today's Surf

2:00am EST- There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. However, MACD was already negative which cancelled out the signal. No entry!

5:45am EST- 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 1.9532 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.9549. Since I was 32 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.9500.

Entry: Short at 1.9532
Stop: 1.9549
Initial Target: 1.9500

6:30am EST- My target was hit. Price made a clean break so I moved my stop to 1.9500 and set my next target for 1.9450.

6:45am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out at 1.9500.

Trade Result: +32 pips : R-Multiple: 1.88

Hey pipsurfer...I thought I was the only one in which the price moved at the open of the bar and I got in late. I got in at 1.9531 7 pips below the open..slow fingers because I had just been awakened by loud alarm in my computer...I was groggy! :)

MissPips: Thanx for your advice yesterday. I realized that you may have a valid point since I went back to alot of the ambigous entries that were losers and saw that on other charts didn't show them...So now I will have further connfirmation. I just hope that I don't end up needing so much confirmation that I never get in a trade...lol
Have a great weekend everyone.

My commiserations on being stopped out for a 'mere' 32 pips
:-)

Good deals but Why don't you use volatility pairs usdjpy eurjpy gbpjpy?
