Today’s Surf
3:00am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, stochastics were trending up and MACD went from negative to positive. This was a valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.4852 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.4811. Since I was 48 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.4900.
Entry: Long at 1.4852 Stop: 1.4811 Target: 1.4900
4:00am EST– Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-41 pips)
