Today’s Surf
1:45am 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 1.5217 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5234. Since I was 17 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.5200.
Entry: Short at 1.5217; Stop: 1.5234; Target: 1.5200
2:00am EST- My target was hit. Price didn’t make a clean break so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.5202. (+15 pips)
