20130115-2

ES
Open:
Long 2 @ 1458.50. 60m VC Doji and a Gap trade, soft 2.50 points stop loss at 2 ticks below the low, targets are 2.75 points at half gap fill and 5 points at full gap fill.

Close:
1st: Sell 1 @ 1458.50. It got to 1 tick from my half gap fill target and stalled, I was too slow to move the order one or two ticks down, and it turned back, I decided to move half stop loss to break-even.
2nd: Sell 1 @ 1461.50. Moved down the order to 1462.00 at 60m 18EMA, it came up close to that, I didn't want to wait and dropped down the order to the offer and got filled. Guess I didn't want to make the same mistake again and was pretty jumpy about this, so it was a little premature. 

2 contracts $150 gross, $139.36 net.
For the day $460 gross, $435.48 net.
