CL
Open:
Long 1 @ 94.05. 5m Squeeze in alignment with 60m Waves. Missed the initial entry, was hesitating because ATR was at 45 and couldn't do 2 contracts. It then moved down a little but the bigger picture was unchanged, so I decided to go in with 1 contract. Mental stop loss 45 ticks at 93.60 which was a little below 30m 20EMA. Target 25 ticks.
Close:
It went up 10 ticks and then turned down, after taking 26 ticks heat, I moved my target to +15 ticks.
Sell 1 @ 94.20. Lucky, top tick fill. Was about to move it higher. Kinda impulse trade with no clear plan.

6E
Open:
Long 1 @ 1.2364. 60m TC20, 30 ticks to 2h TC18. It's too big of a distance to add in, not quite sure what the plan is if the trade go against me, $500 is my mental max draw down, waiting to see if the back up can come up near enough to do an add in.
Close:
Sell 1 @ 1.2374. Target hit, 7 ticks heat.
1 contract $125 gross, $116.76 net.
ES
Open:
Short 1 @ 1355.00. 5m TC18, $TICK +400, gonna try to hold on to the position, watching the $TICK for a -1000 exit or a potential stop loss if $TICK reverses to the plus side.
Close:
Could've taken a $100 profit shortly after the entry, but was trying to hold on to it and see how it feels and turns out, may end up with a loss.
Was afraid of adding to the position when $TICK hit +400.
Cover 1 @ 1353.00. Finally ran out of patience and got out with 2 points profit. It immediately went lower and the missed trade would've made $100.
1 contract $100 gross, $93.68 net.
