Today’s Surf
1:15am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down but MACD was already negative from the previous candle. This cancelled out my signal and I did not enter.
2:00am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down and MACD went from positive to negative. This was a valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.4714 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.4724. Since I was 14 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.4700.
Entry: Short at 1.4714 Stop: 1.4724 Target: 1.4700
