Today's Surf

12:00am 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 1.7535 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.7583. Since I was 35 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level I decided to put my initial target at 1.7500.

Entry: Short at 1.7535

Stop: 1.7583

Initial Target: 1.7500

2:30am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade.

4:15am EST- There was a signal here, but because it was right before news, I did not enter.

7:45am 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 1.7606 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.7666. Since I was only 6 pips away from the nearest 00 or 50 level (1.7600), I decided to go for the same amount of pips I was risking on the trade, which in this case was 60. This put my target at 1.7546.

Entry: Short at 1.7606

Stop: 1.7666

Initial Target: 1.7546

8:45am EST- Unfortunately my target wasn't hit by this point. I knew Bernanke was speaking at 9am EST, so I closed my trade out to avoid any spikes. I exited out at 1.7597.

Trade Result: -48 +9 = -39pips(NOT INCLUDING SPREAD) R-Multiple: -1.00; 0.15
