Open:
Long 2 @ 1.5956. 30m TC18, was going to sleep, didn't have a order out upfront, got in with market order. 13 ticks to 60m TC18 add-in point, ready to add in 4 to 6 contracts, max risk about $1000. May jump out the trade fairly quickly because I want to go to bed. I'm also holding a swing short position after a big light volume holiday up day.
Close:
1st: Sell 1 @ 1.2961. First target hit, 5 ticks profit, 3 ticks heat. Turning this into a hedge for my swing position, lifted stop loss to 1.2950 which is where the exit for the swing trade is and target set to 1.2990, a few ticks below the last day's high. Now I can go to sleep.
2nd: Sell 1 @ 1.2950. Stopped out while I was asleep. It happened to be the 60m 18EMA, but I wasn't there to take the trade. Still a good hedge, got out of my swing position the way I wanted to.
2 contracts -$12.50 gross, -$26.98 net.
