I'm really enjoying you're journal and especially the cleanness of your charts. As a new trader it is easy to follow and has helped me to understand price action a little bit more, thank you.
Its been about 30 to 45 minutes and price cannot break thru the .04 level. Normally, I would close the position by now but since I am risking so little I am going to let it play out. I will check back in about 1 hour to see what happens - lol
Note: I also moved the stop back 2 ticks below the swing at .95 until the .05 level is broken

wow - I have been watching all the nice setups on 6E, 6J and 6B wishing I would have chosen 1 of those markets near the open. Anyhow, stop moved to break even. Price will either break thru .04 on this attempt or go lower. We just had another 2L with a continuation setup. So we will see!

Final update. Price finally broke thru 53.04 and just stopped at .09 with a weak bull candle close. Elected to close both trades for small gains but it is a positive start to a new day and I am going to go and get some dinner.

Price action went 1 tick above the current trading high (which is also the current HOD and then triggered a 2S. So I am short with only 1K. If price action fills my target and reaches my criteria I may have the opportunity for a second short trade with 4Ks for +12 ticks. If price action takes out my stop, I have an extra stop limit order in to take advantage of the anticipated up move and will look for 20 to 30 ticks.

Aggressive entry anticipating HL. Stop 8 ticks - Target 10 ticks with 2 contracts in my live account. I wasn't able to get to my TST account in time. Trade so far has gone 9 ticks and I am not moving my stop and price has come back to +1. We will see what happens.

Price went back up to +8 with weak bullish close. Stop moved to +1 because I expected that 2nd bullish bar to break thru and give a new high. Trade still going on at this point but most likely get stopped out.
