Today’s Surf
12:30am EDT– There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down, but MACD was already negative. This cancelled out the signal and I did not enter.
10:45am EDT- 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 1.4937 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5067. Since I was 37 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.4900.
Entry: Short at 1.4937
Stop: 1.5067
Initial Target: 1.4900
