This was a scale-in short, 2 contracts at a time to 6 and then traded around it a bit. Using wide stops in this environment is necessary IMO so stop was 20 ticks from entries or $1500 on entire position. To trade this properly, account size should be $75K. Mine is a 1/3 of that so this trading style needs to be very controlled with hard stop.
