Today's Surf


11:00am 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 1.7747 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.7819. Since I was 47 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level I decided to put my initial target at 1.7700.


Entry: Short at 1.7747

Stop: 1.7819

Initial Target: 1.7700


1:45am EST- My target wasn't hit by this time. Since news was coming out at 2:00pm EST, I decided to close out my trade. I exited at 1.7726.

Great system, my question is how do you get a chance to sleep. If you are using your alerts to wake you up, an active day/night you probably don't sleep as your phone will keep waking you up. Second question why does action begin at midnight when its 5am there and most American and British brokers are sleeping.

Nice system - simple and effective. I see that your trading off a 15min chart, what timeframe do you have your EMA set to? Thanks, s

This is a great system. How long have you been trading it? I would like to refer folks to this blog from my http://www.forexboost.com site. I think they would like this a lot. Thanks, Andrew
