Open:
Short 2 @ 1708.7. Gold Rush, missed the first chance, got in on the subsequent one.
Close:
1st: Cover 1 @ 1708.5. Volatility was low, it pushed down a little bit and then came back against me, changed the first target to +2 ticks, didn't want a full stop loss, can just let the second contract run. 6 ticks heat.
2nd: Cover 1 @ 1706.5. Took 20 ticks heat, almost closed out the trade with a small loss, the 30m chart had 2 bars with long tails suggesting a bounce. I waited the last 5 minutes for the second bar to close. It moved in my direction, I adjusted the target to 5 ticks above the 50% retracement which was also yesterday's low. It turned out to be a good decision. Was thinking about doing a compounded trade, but was too scared to do it, could've gotten some money out of it.
2 contracts $240 gross, $226.12 net.
