Today’s Surf
2:45am 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 1.5662 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5673. Since I was 12 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I put my initial target at 1.5650.
Entry: Short at 1.5662; Stop: 1.5673; Target: 1.5650
3:00m EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-11 pips).
4:15am EST- There was a valid signal here but because it was right before the 4:30am EST news event I did not enter.
Trade Result: -11 pips R-Multiple: -1.00
