12:30 am EDT- There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, stochastics were trending up, and MACD was negative and gaining value. This was a valid entry. The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.4916 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.4881. Since I was 34 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I put my initial target at 1.4950.

2:45 am EDT- My target was hit. Price did not make a clean break so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.4940.
