[11:00:45] <signal>

[11:08:57] <guy> trading platforms like Ninja allow you to do this and net off the contracts for you
[12:26:30] <guy> a touch on 652.0 gives the current single print a +2 profit
[12:32:23] <guy> Single Print short takes a +2 profit on 1 contract and stop now at b/e at 654.1

[13:16:01] <guy> Shorts ER2 @ 653.8

[13:17:37] <guy> exit stop set ER2 @ 654.8

[13:20:12] <guy> Single Print second contract stopped at b/e

[13:33:10] <guy> stop hit ER2 @ 654.8 --> - 1

[Addendum: That was a particularly unlucky stop-out. It was the high tick of the move and the trade then went on to hit all the profit targets. My mistake on that particular trade was rushing the entry. An entry 1 tick higher would have allowed me to use a 1 point stop and the trade would have worked.]
