1:15am 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 1.7489 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.7595. Since I was 39 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.7450.

Entry: Short at 1.7489

Stop: 1.7595

Initial Target: 1.7450

1:30am EST- My target was hit. Price did not make a clean break of my target so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.7450.

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 1.7509 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.7564. Since I was only 9 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level (1.7500), I decided to go for the same amount of pips I was risking on the trade, which in this case was 55. This put my initial target at 1.7454.

Entry: Short at 1.7509

Stop: 1.7564

Initial Target: 1.7454

Since I was only 7 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level (1.7450), I decided to go for the same amount of pips I was risking on the trade, which in this case was 130. This put my initial target at 1.7327.
