Today’s Surf
12:45am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, MACD went from positive to negative, but Stochastics were still trending up. This cancelled out the signal and I did not enter.
1:30am 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 1.4238 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.4251. Since I was 38 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.4200.
Entry: Short at 1.4238 Stop: 1.4251 Target: 1.4200
2:00am EST– Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. (-13 pips)
