Today’s Surf
6:30am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, stochastics were trending up and MACD was negative and gaining value. This was valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.6408 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.6376. Since I was 42 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level I decided to put my target at 1.6450.
