Today’s Surf
12:30am EDT– There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, stochastics were trending up, but MACD was already positive. This cancelled out the signal and I did not enter.
7:30am EDT– There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, stochastics were trending up, and MACD went from negative to positive. This was a valid entry. The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.4826 with a stop at the most recent low at 1.4766. Since I was 24 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.4850.
Entry: Long at 1.4826
Stop: 1.4766
Target: 1.4850
8:45am EDT- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade.
Trade Result: -60 pips (NOT INCLUDING SPREAD) R-Multiple: -1.00
