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 was positive and losing value. This was a valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.5129 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.5134. Since I was 29 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.5100.
Entry: Short at 1.5129 Stop: 1.5134 Target: 1.5100
