BAH! This is the best way to describe how I feel. BAH! Today there were a couple of crossovers and while I caught the first one which lost me 30 pips, I missed the next one due to the fact that my computer shut off while I was sleeping (some automatic update) and the platform was closed. BAH! The only positive thing is I got to sleep without interruptions for about 6 hours.
Today's trades:
3:00am EST- There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down, and MACD went from positive to negative. This was a valid entry. The entry was at the close of the candle at 1.9458 with a stop at the most recent swing high at 1.9488. Since I was only 8 pips away from the nearest 50 or 00 level (1.9450), I decided to go for the same amount of pips I was risking on the trade, which in this case was 30. This put my initial target at 1.9428
.
Entry: Short at 1.9458
Entry: Short at 1.9458
Stop: 1.9488
Initial Target: 1.9428
3:30am EST- Unfortunately I was stopped out of my trade. Loss of 30 pips.
4:15am EST- There was a moving average crossover for a short trade. RSI was less than 50, stochastics were trending down, and MACD went from positive to negative. This was a valid entry but I was sound asleep and my computer was sleeping also so no alarm= no trade. This one would have gained 37 pips....BAH!
Trade results: 1 trade...-30 pips...3 lots....-90 pips
BAH! Here are the charts.
Talk to you soon.
