Today’s Surf
3:00am EST– 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 2.0050 with a stop at the most recent swing low at 2.0014. Since I was 50 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 2.0100.
Entry: Long at 2.0050
Stop: 2.0014
Initial Target: 2.0100
5:15am EST– My target was hit. Since I knew news was coming out, I went ahead and took my final profit at 2.0100.
10:30am EST– There was a moving average crossover for a long trade. RSI was greater than 50, stochastics were trending up, but MACD was already positive. This cancelled out the signal and I did not enter.
Trade Result: +50 pips; R-Multiple: 1.38
