I was watching the screen and at about lunch time, I noticed the pound starting to slide.  I quickly looked at my charts and I noticed that the stochastics were turning down, the ichimoku; tenkan had just the kinjun from the top down, and the price trend broke through the cloud.

I confirmed it at both the 15 minute and 5 minute time frame……………looked really good, so I short the GBPUSD at 1.6230 with a SL at 1.6250.  The pound started a slow grind downwards and at about 330pm, an hour before the MPC and BOE minutes at 430pm, I decided to square the position and bought back the pound at 1.6155 for a 75bps pop!
