Open:
Long 2 @ 1.3551. 60m TC35, 5m Hammer, stop losses are 6 ticks at 2 ticks below the low of the Hammer, and 10 ticks. 10 ticks and 20 ticks or open target.
Close:
1st: Sell 1 @ 1.3545. Half stop loss.
2nd: Sell 1 @ 1.3561. Target hit, 6 ticks heat. Got bottom tick stopped out on the first contract, unfortunate, the entry was a little off and the stop loss was probably too tight.
