Today’s Surf
2:45am 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 1.5427 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.5411. Since I was 23 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.5450.
Entry: Long at 1.5427 Stop: 1.5411 Target: 1.5450
4:15am EST– Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-16 pips)
4:30am EST- Didn’t even consider this possible signal because it was on a news candle. No entry.
Trade Result: -16 pips R-Multiple: -1.00
