Today’s Surf
1:30am 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 1.5743 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5764. Since I was 43 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level I decided to put my initial target at 1.5700.
Entry: Short at 1.5743; Stop: 1.5764; Target: 1.5700
4:00am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-21 pips)
6:00am 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 signal. I entered at the close of the candle at 1.5756 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5804. Since I was only 6 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level (1.5750), I decided to go for the same amount of pips I was risking on the trade, which in this case was 48. This put my initial target at 1.5708.
Entry: Short at 1.5756; Stop: 1.5804; Target: 1.5708
8:45am EST- My target was hit. Price did not make a clean break so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.5710. (+46 pips)
Trade Result: -21 +46= +25 pips R-Multiple: -1.00; 0.95
