Today’s Surf
3:30am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down, and MACD was positive and losing value. This was a valid entry. The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.9817 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.9838. Since I was 17 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.9800.
Entry: Short at 1.9817
Stop: 1.9838
Initial Target: 1.9800
3:45am EST– My target was hit. Price did not make a clean break of my target so I took my final profit. I exited at 1.9802.
10:15am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down, and MACD was positive and losing value. This was a valid entry. The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.9807 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.9838. Since I was only 7 pips away from the nearest 00 or 50 level (1.9800), I decided to go for the same amount of pips I was risking on the trade, which in this case was 31. This put my initial target at 1.9776.
Entry: Short at 1.9807
Stop: 1.9838
Initial Target: 1.9776
12:15pm EST– Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade.
Trade Result: +15 -31= -16 pips; R-Multiple: 0.71; -1.00
