Price consolidated along the low of yesterday for most of the premarket morning and pulled back just before the equities open. I placed a stop market order right after the equities open and just below the low of yesterday. The short trade triggered about 15 minutes later and hit both targets.
Not much going on today so here is another trade Price moved up from the futures open and tried to break above the daily pivot about 645. After that failure, price pulled back to the low of yesterday and reversed up again. When price got close to the daily pivot, it pulled back a couple of times. I placed a stop market order just above the daily pivot. The long trade quickly triggered and moved up to the first target before consolidating at the high of yesterday. It took about an hour and half before the second target was hit.
UPDATE: LAUNCH!!! Waited and waited to pay off more in the last few days until finally took off today.
