ES
Open:
1st: Short  1 @ 1354.75. DD, ready to add in 1 at 60m TC18 8 ticks above.
2nd: Short 1 @ 1356.75. 60m TC18, 8 ticks bracket.

Close:
Cover 2 @ 1358.75. Stopped out. The price hit the target, but no fill, it went back up above the addin price, moved back down to the green. I moved target to +1, but was too late.

If the price hit the target, but no fill and went back up, moved the target to +1 immediately, don't wait, especially if the risks are high.
