Today’s Surf
12:15am 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 1.5878 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5898. Since I was 28 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level I decided to put my initial target at 1.5850.
Entry: Short at 1.5878 Stop: 1.5898 Target: 1.5850
3:30am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-20 pips)
