Today’s Surf
1:15am 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 1.9617 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.9630. Since I was 17 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.9600.
Entry: Short at 1.9617
Stop: 1.9630
Initial Target: 1.9600
2:00am EST- My target was hit. Price made a clean break, so I moved my stop to 1.9600 and set my next target for 1.9550.
3:15am EST- My 2nd target was hit. This time price didn’t make a clean break so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.9555.
7:30am EST- There was a signal here, but I didn’t want to enter because it was close to news.
9:30am EST- There was a signal here, but I didn’t want to enter because it was close to news.
