3 ticks from being stopped out. Moved 2 contracts up to break-even, 3 contracts at +10 ticks from add-in, 1 contract moved to break-even from first entry, may trail the last contract.
1st: Cover 2 @ 1.2302. First revised target hit.
2nd: Cover 4 @ 1.2317. Stopped out. It went through my stop loss for 5 ticks and came back to 20EMA. Entered wrong orders, shorted 4 more contracts instead of buying them back, closed out the trade by buying back 8 contracts at the same level. It became a 10 contracts trade instead of a 6 contracts trade.
