Today’s Surf
3:00am 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 1.5775 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5828. Since I was 25 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my intial target at 1.5750.
Entry: Short at 1.5775 Stop: 1.5828 Target: 1.5750
