Today’s Surf
12:15; 1:15 am 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 the signal and I did not enter.
5:30am 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 1.4429 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.4474. Since I was 29 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.4400.
Entry: Short at 1.4429 Stop: 1.4474 Target: 1.4400
