Lowered the stop in the morning and stopped at C. Triggered long at D, hit first target at E, still holding with a stop under the black line at 1.3000:
GBPUSD:
We talked last night in the Lab about taking a scalp on the GBPUSD over the Pivot, and you have to love how it triggered and went EXACTLY to the UBreak/VAH. Quite remarkable:
