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 signal. The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.7265 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.7354. Since I was 15 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.7250.
Entry: 1.7265
Stop: 1.7354
Target: 1.7250
12:15am EST– My target was hit. Price didn’t make a clean break of my target so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.7245
