Today’s Surf
3:00am 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 1.4492 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.4526. Since I was 42 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.4450.
Entry: Short at 1.4492 Stop: 1.4526 Target: 1.4450
3:45am EST– My target was hit. Price did not make a clean break so I took my final profit. I got out at 1.4452. (+40 pips)
