ZN
Open:
Short 2 @ 132'10.5. Swing Analysis, it's sitting at a minor 61.8% retracement and against trendline and daily 35EMA. 8 ticks/'4.0 soft stop loss, today's low or open target.
Close:
Cover 2 @ 132'14.5. Stopped out, still like the trade, but the entry was not so great, if it goes up, I'll try to re-short it.
2 contracts -$250 gross, -$260.32 net.
Re-entry:
Open:
Short 2 @ 132'14.0. Re-entry, 4 ticks/'2.0 soft stop loss. I'm willing to try it again, it's right up against the trendline.
Close:
It's moving in my direction, decided to turn it into a swing trade.
Cover 2 @ 132'14.0. It came back up to the entry price, decided to take a break-even stop loss. It went to as high as 2 ticks from 132'16 original hard stop loss and turned down to reach my target. Unfortunate.
2 contracts $0 gross, -$10.32 net.
For the trade -$250 gross, -$270.64 net.
6A
Open:
Long 2 @ 1.0515. It made a daily bullish doji, I was looking for a break of the high to get in, put out an order to pre-position, but didn't get a fill. It then broke out of both the daily high and a trend line, I left my order to take advantage of a retest of the trend line. Got filled, it bounced up and came back, got filled again. 40 ticks stop loss at 1 ticks below the low, targets are 30 and 60 ticks, may change the targets around if it goes my way and hold overnight, because that would be a bullish break-out of a longer term formation.
Close:
1st: Sell 1 @ 1.0505. The retest failed and it formed what looked like to be a H&S pattern, it then came up to the neckline, I'd already take 31 ticks heat, decided to take half off to reduce risk. The trade doesn't seem to be working at the moment, but it's still in a channel.
2nd: Sell 1 @ 1.0522. It's 21.30 CET, I had to get out of this position, didn't want to wait for it to go above break-even. It's up against trendline and a reversal candlestick is forming.
2 contracts -$30 gross, -$44.48 net.
