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 and MACD was positive and losing value. This was a valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.4375 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.4383. Since I was 25 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.4350.
Entry: Short at 1.4375 Stop: 1.4383 Target: 1.4350
