Today’s Surf
1:45am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, stochastics were trending up and MACD went from negative to positive. This was a valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.2675 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.2663. Since I was 25 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.2700.
Entry: Long at 1.2675 Stop: 1.2663 Target: 1.2700
