Today’s Surf
3:30am 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 signal. I entered at the close of the candle at 1.6011 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.6030. Since I was 11 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level I decided to put my initial target at 1.6000.
Entry: Short at 1.6011; Stop: 1.6030; Target: 1.6000
4:30am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-19 pips)
Trade Result: -19 pips R-Multiple: -1.00
