Today’s Surf
12:45am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down but MACD was already negative from the previous candle. This cancelled out the signal and I did not enter.
2:30am 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 entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.5628 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5656. Since I was 28 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.5600.
Entry: Short at 1.5628 Stop: 1.5656 Target: 1.5600
4:15am EST– Unfortunately I my target wasn’t hit by this time. Since news was coming out I decided to cut my losses and manually exit my trade. I got out at 1.5640. (-12 pips)
Trade Result: -12 pips R-Multiple: -0.42
