12:00am 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 1.3944 with a stop at the most recent high at 1.4020. Since I was 44 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.3900.
