Today’s Surf
5:15am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, stochastics were trending up and MACD was negative and gaining value. This was a valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.5619 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.5594. Since I was 31 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.5650.
Entry: Long at 1.5619 Stop: 1.5594 Target: 1.5650
6:45am EST– Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-25 pips)
Trade Result: -25 pips R-Multiple: -1.00
