Today's Surf
1:45am EST- There was a valid signal here but because it was close to news I did not enter.
3:30, 6:00am EST- There were moving average crossovers for short trades here but MACD was already negative which cancelled out the signals. No entry!
8:30am EST- There was a valid signal here but it was a news candle so I did not enter.
10:00am 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 1.8338 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.8393. Since I was 38 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level I decided to put my initial target at 1.8300.
Entry: Short at 1.8338
Stop: 1.8393
Initial Target: 1.8300
10:30am EST- My target was hit. Price made a clean break so I moved my stop to 1.8300 and set my next target for 1.8250.
11:00am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out at 1.8250.
Trade Result: +38 pips (NOT INCLUDING SPREAD) R-Multiple: 0.69

Forex Blog: Pip My System
Hi, Pip Surfer, I have read your posts for several weeks, made my charts but don't look like yours :) Can you post a link to 2 templates (15 min and 4hr chart). Thanks.
Let the Forex be with you!
hey, i was wondering, on xtick, do you use exponential macd or simple macd? also, i had two different charting softwares open with the same currency, time frame, and all other settings the same, but noticed the open,hi,lo,close for one charting software differed by a few pips from the other, i called one of the charting companies (GFT forex) and they said each charting program gets their feed from a different bank, so its normal for it to differ; so say you want to use xtick for charting since it has the paint feature, but u place your orders through gft's dealbook360 platform, is there anyway u can buy straight off of xtick? any suggestions about the matter would be great, thanks a lot
