Today I only looked for short trades

Today's Surf


4:30am 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 1.9159 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.9206. Since I was only 9 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level (1.9150), I decided to go for the same amount of pips I was risking on the trade, which in this case was 47. This put my initial target at 1.9112.


Entry: Short at 1.9159

Stop: 1.9206

Initial Target: 1.9112


3:45am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade.


6:30am, 7:15 EST- There was a crossover for a short trade, but MACD was already negative so it cancelled out the signal. No entry!

At the time of your entry, it seemed like the 4 hr stochastics is trending up. This means the main trend is not clear. I would be careful to make an entry if this is the case. Also, can I ask why does a MACD that is already negative cancel out the short signal? Doesn't a negative MACD mean that the trend is down? I am not questioning your judgement. I'm just trying to learn and follow along.
