Today’s Surf
12:00am ET– 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 2.0388 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 2.0372. Since I was 12 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my target at 2.0400.
Entry: Long at 2.0388
Stop: 2.0372
Initial Target: 2.0400
2:45am ET– My target is hit. Price makes a clean break of my target so I move my stop loss to 2.0400 and set my next target for 2.0450.
