Today’s Surf
4:15am ET– 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 2.0487 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 2.0424. Since I was 13 pips away from the nearest 00 or 50 level, I decided to put my target at 2.0500.
Entry: Long at 2.0487
Stop: 2.0424
Initial Target: 2.0500
9:45am ET– My target was not hit by this time. I knew that Existing Home Sales were coming out at 10am ET, and according to my rules, I do not hold my trades over important news events. I manually closed my trade and managed to get out at 2.0492
Trade Result: +5 pips; R-Multiple: 0.08
