Open:
Long 2 @ 151.05. 1st Hour Bond trade, got filled 50m after the first hour, the overall trend of the indices are up, and this trade got filled when there was a 60m TC18 on the ES, missed that trade. My feeling is that chances are this trade will get stopped out if the indices continue the uptrend from that 60m TC18.
Close:
Sell 2 @ 151.01. Stopped out.
2 contracts -$250 gross, -$260.32 net.
For the day -$230 gross, -$254.20 net.

Open:
Long 2 @ 1726.1. Gold Rush, it's up 7 after a big down day, planning to take 1 contract off quickly and let the other one run to the 61.8% retracement 40 ticks above. This last leg up is pretty extended too.
Close:
1st: Sell 1 @ 1726.3. Got out of the first contract after adjusting the order on the offer side a couple of times, no heat.
2nd: Sell 1 @ 1726.1. There were several failed push-ups and left tails, I felt like I'd waited long enough and exited the trade. It eventually got up to my target.
2 contracts $20 gross, $6.12 net.
