3:15am 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 1.4265 with a stop at the most recent low at 1.4208. Since I was 35 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my target at 1.4300.
Entry: Long at 1.4265
Stop: 1.4208
Target: 1.4300
3:30am EDT- My target was hit. Price did not make a clean break so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.4292.
