Today’s Surf
12:15am 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 1.3809 with a stop at the most recent high at 1.3849. Since I was only 9 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level (1.3800), I decided to go for the same amount of pips I was risking on the trade, which in this case was 40. This put my initial target at 1.3769.
Entry: Short at 1.3809
Stop: 1.3849
Target: 1.3769
12:45am EDT– My target was hit. Price didn’t make a clean break so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.3775.
