Today’s Surf
12:45am EST– 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 1.5227 with a stop at the most recent low at 1.5213. Since I was 23 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.5250.
Entry: Long at 1.5227
Stop: 1.5213
Target: 1.5250
