Today’s Surf
7:15am 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 negativeThis was a valid signal. I entered at the close of the candle at 1.5118 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5152. Since I was 18 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I put my initial target at 1.5100.
