Open:
Long 2 @ 1737.3. Gold Rush, order was at 1737.0, 3 ticks slippage. First target 20 ticks, second target 200 ticks or trail, 30 ticks stop loss.

Close:
1st: Sell 1 @ 1739.3. First target hit, 8 ticks heat, exit on volume spike would've been 18 ticks.
Moved stop loss to 1737.0 which would've been the original entry, was lucky because I moved the stop right after it traded that price, could've been stopped out there if I moved the stop earlier.
2nd: Sell 1 @ 1737.0. Stopped out, it went as high as 1740.5 with a volume spike, but didn't get out there, was trying to let it run.

2 contracts $170 gross, $156.12 net.
