As expected, uneventful day, with some nice wins under the belt.
Some setups are so obvious, no annotation is needed on the chart. This one is total classic, as cookie-cutter as they get. I'll just put arrows, lines and numbers on the chart, and you assign direction, trigger and stop to it, to practice structuring the trade. Don't hesitate to ask if any questions arise.
