Today’s Surf
2:15am 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 entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.5104 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5138. Since I was only 4 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level (1.5100), I decided to go for the same amount of pips I was risking on the trade, which in this case was 34. This put my initial target at 1.5070.
Entry: Short at 1.5104 Stop: 1.5138 Target: 1.5070
4:00am EST– Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-34 pips)
