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 went from positive to negative. This was a valid entry.
The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.4295 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.4306. Since I was 45 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.4250.
Entry: Short at 1.4295 Stop: 1.4306 Target: 1.4250
