Today I only looked for long trades.
Today’s Surf
1:15 am 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 which was at 9754 with a stop at the most recent swing low which was at 9738. Since I was 46 pips away from the nearest 00 level I decided to set my target at 9800.
3:15 am ET– My target at 9800 was hit and because it didn’t make a clean break of the 9800 level I decided to take my final profit there.
