Today’s Surf
2:00am 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 1.3530 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 1.3512. Since I was 20 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.3550.
Entry: Long at 1.3530 Stop: 1.3512 Target: 1.3550
3:30am EST– My target was hit. Price made a clean break so I moved my stop to 1.3550 and set my next target for 1.3600.
3:45am EST– Unfortunately I was stopped out at my original target at 1.3550. (+20 pips)
6:45am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, MACD was negative and gaining value, but stochastics were still trending down. This cancelled out the signal and I did not enter.

Entry: Long at 1.3560 Stop: 1.3541 Target: 1.3600
