Today’s Surf
12:30am 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 1.3244 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.3258. Since I was 44 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.3200.
Entry: Short at 1.3244 Stop: 1.3258 Target: 1.3200
2:45am EST– My target was hit. Price made a clean break so I moved my stop to 1.3200 and set my next target for 1.3150.
3:15am EST– Unfortunately I was stopped out at my original target at 1.3200. (+44 pips)
