S&P 500 Short Postion Opened
I shorted the S&P 500 moments ago at 1633, placed a stop loss order to trigger at 1636.52, and targeting 1625.65. I don't expect price to come down to this level today, so I will be monitoring price action to decide whether I want to hold it over the long weekend. Cheers.

S&P Long Position Stopped Out
It stopped out within a few pips of it taking off. If your SL order was slightly different than mine you may be hanging on to a winning trade.
The good news is that the trade was sound. SL was good too, but price squeezed me out by a hair. Those SL orders have to be placed somewhere, and the potential of being squeezed out is always going to be a possibility. It doesn't happen very often, and really, it corroborates the trading strategy.
There is another trade around the corner.

S&P Short Set Up Still In Play
The short S&P position I was holding was stopped out, but I am looking to open a new position. Will keep posted if I make a trade.

Update: Exiting Oil Position
I just exited my short oil position for a nominal 10 pip profit on oil. The trade was a risky but valid one, but I have no interest in holding over the weekend. I will reassess if there is a valid trade on oil next week.
The S&P Short position I will hold onto. This one will take longer to play out.
Cheers.
