Today’s Surf
1:45am 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 1.6050 with a stop at the most recent high at 1.6067. Since I was 50 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.6000.
Entry: Short at 1.6050 Stop: 1.6067 Target: 1.6000
2:00am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade.
4:00am EST– There was a valid signal here but because it was right before a news event I did not enter.
Trade Result: -17 pips (NOT INCLUDING SPREAD) R-Multiple: -1.00
