6E
Open:
1st: Short 1 @ 1.3088. 15m TC18, ready to addin 4 contract at 30m TC18 17 ticks above. Hourly no senior trend, kinda slowly bleeding up. 10 ticks target.
2nd: Short 1 @ 1.3100. 30m SS, 6 ticks below 18EMA where I was ready to addin 4 contracts, max risk $1125. Moved targets to 2 @ 1.3090, 10 ticks below addin, 4 ticks below average.
3rd: Short 2 @ 1.3106. 30m TC18.
4th: Short 2 @ 1.3107. 30m TC19. 10 ticks bracket in place. 
  
Close:
Cover 6 @ 1.3117. Stopped out. At best break-even after 2nd addin. Should've taken it considering I was risking $1000 to make $100. Still good to have stop loss in place, saved $500. 

6 contracts -$1100 ex fees, -$1149,44 net.
For the day -$775 ex fees, -$851.64 net.
