Today’s Surf
1:30am EST– There was a signal here but because it was right before the 2:00am EST news, I did not enter.
2:45am 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 valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.6286 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.6252. Since I was 14 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.6300.
Entry: Long at 1.6286 Stop: 1.6252 Target: 1.6300
3:00am EST– My target was hit. Price made a clean break so I moved my stop to 1.6300 and set my next target for 1.6350.
4:00am EST- Unfortunately I got stopped out at my original target. (+14 pips)
