Today’s Surf
1:15am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, stochastics were trending up and MACD went from negative to positive. This was a valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.5465 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.5440. Since I was 35 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my target at 1.5500.
Entry: Long at 1.5465 Stop: 1.5440 Target: 1.5500
2:00am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-25 pips)
6:45am EST- There was almost a signal here but MACD didn’t meet our criteria. Also because it was before a news candle I would not have entered even if it was a valid signal.
Trade Result: -25 Pips (NOT INCLUDING SPREAD) R-Multiple: -1.00
