Today’s Surf
10:00am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down and MACD was positive and losing value. This was a valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.6264 with a stop at the most recent high at 1.6313. Since I was 14 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.6250.
Entry: Short at 1.6264 Stop: 1.6313 Target: 1.6250
10:15am EST– My target was hit. Price didn’t make a clean break so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.6253.
Trade Result: +11 pips (NOT INCLUDING SPREAD) R-Multiple: 0.22
