Today's Surf


4:30am EST- There was a valid signal here but because it was before news, 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 1.7527 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.7588. Since I was 27 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.7500.


Entry: Short at 1.7527

Stop: 1.7588

Initial Target: 1.7500


10:45am EST- My target was hit. Price did not make a clean break, so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.7503.

I used the cowabunga system to go short on eur/use today. I used 1 min chart to find a nice swing high entry so when I opened the position I was immediately in profit. I ended up with 25 pips from that single trade! Thanks so much for the system and an excellent website

Hey hope you're well. Which platform/charting software are you using? thanks :)

Just wanted to say I really enjoy your review videos of trading, keep it up!

Hey PipSurfer:

Thank you for the video explanations of your trading. It has really helped me a lot. My question is: Using the Cowabunga System, does the system require 2 or more candles on the 4 hour chart to signal a reversal or is 1 good candle good enough. I have been using your system on USD/JPY to good success (got 44pips today). Thank you again.

Hey PipSurfer: Why can't we use the system when there is a retracement? I realize you only use the system in the direction of the trend. Why?

Shame that you missed out on another 40+ pips but like you always say, you have to follow your trade rules. Thanks again for the update. :)

Hi Pip Surfer,

How many years have you sucessfully used this system? In your experience, what was the max number of consecutive losing months for this system?

Thanks, and you've got a new fan for your dedication to this blog!

Hi Pip Surfer, nice blog and nice easy-to-understand trading system. What if the MA 5 do not cross the 10 MA but only stays with the same value do you wait for the next candle to enter a position? I also have a blog but I think it`s not a convetional forex blog, whatever, if you`d like to check it, http://forexgambler.blogspot.com/ see you dude!
