Today’s Surf

2:30 am EST– 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 1.4519 with a stop at the most recent high at 1.4573. Since I was 19 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.4500.
