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 1.2522 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.2490. Since I was 28 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to place my initial target at 1.2550.
