6A
Open:
Short 1 @ 1.0305. Market order, came up to the old 15m SSC order which I had pulled, but good energy and 5m SS intrabar made me enter the trade. Ready to addin 1 at 5m TC18 7 ticks above, stop loss 10 ticks behind that, and 10 ticks target.
Close:
Cover 1 @ 1.0295. Target hit, didn't trail, wanted to take the profit on the board, if I did, it would've ended up with 9-10 ticks. 1 tick or no heat.
1 contract $100 ex fees, $91.76 net.

Open:
Short 1 @ 1.0290. 5m SSC, 4am CET, big move in the direction of the bigger picture, no established intraday trend yet. 10 ticks stop loss, 10 ticks target, but ready to move the target and trail.
Close:
Cover 1 @ 1.0281. Moved stop to -5 when I was 5 ticks in profit, and started to trail my stop 10 ticks behind. Moved target to 15 ticks when I was 8 ticks in profit, and stop loss to +5 and started to trail 3-4 ticks behind, locking in profits. No heat, at best 13 ticks. Came in late, didn't really think it would work.
