Today’s Surf
1:30am EST– There was a valid signal here but because it was right before the 2am EST news I did not enter.
6:30am 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 1.5592 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5647. Since I was 42 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.5550.
Entry: Short at 1.5592 Stop: 1.5647 Target: 1.5550
9:45am EST- Unfortunately my target wasn’t hit by this time. Since news was coming out at 10:00am EST I decided to close out my trade. I exited at 1.5582.
Trade Result: +10 pips R-Multiple: 0.18
