2:00am EST- There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. However, MACD was already negative which cancelled out the signal. No entry!
5:45am 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 1.9532 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.9549. Since I was 32 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level, I decided to put my initial target at 1.9500.
Entry: Short at 1.9532
Stop: 1.9549
Initial Target: 1.9500
