Long 2 @ 1669.8. Gold Rush, 15 and 30 ticks target, 23 ticks stop loss at 1 tick below a plateau low and what looked like a diamond continuation pattern.

Close:
1st: Sell 1 @ 1665.8. First target hit, 11 ticks heat. Moved up the stop loss by 10 ticks to break-even for the trade.
Moved the stop loss to the entry price once it made a new high and went to sleep.

Long 2 @ 132'0.5. It looked like it wants to go up, a bit of a impulse trade but also a hedge for my long positions. Target is 12 ticks/'6.0 at a Mogul Line and Daily 18EMA.
Close:
Sell 2 @ 132'6.5. Target hit, 10 ticks/'5.0 heat, didn't have a hard stop loss.
