Open:
Long 2 @ 1766.8. Volume Spike, the price went up a few ticks after the close of the signal bar, put an order at the close price, got filled.

Close:
1st: Sell 1 @ 1768.8. First target hit, it turned out to be a swing high, the price went through the order by 1 tick, 4 ticks heat. Stop loss moved to the entry price.
2nd: Sell 1 @ 1766.3. Stopped out, 5 ticks slippage. Good decision to move the stop loss to the entry price, reinforces the strategy.

There was another Volume Spike signal, and the price was between the daily 18 and 20 EMA, didn't take the trade on the futures, was not quite willing to take more risks, did buy the CFD to build up a position inside the daily squeeze. 

2 contracts $150 gross, $136.12 net.
