Today’s Surf
2:15am 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 1.5181 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.5170. Since I was 19 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.5200.
Entry: Long at 1.5181 Stop: 1.5170 Target: 1.5200
3:15am EST– Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-11 pips)
