Today’s Surf
3:00am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, stochastics were trending up and MACD was negative and gaining value. 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 1.2658. 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: 1.2658 Target: 1.2700
3:45am EST– My target was hit. Price didn’t make a clean break so I took my final profit. I got out at 1.2697. (+22 pips)
Trade Result: +22 pips R-Multiple: 1.29
