  [ok] 3.69 $/oz (continuation)
  [ok] NOFTFC takes the same trade; no 3-1-2 and no 2-2 reversal here
B. 2-1-2 reversal (2D, inside, up): the long at 3998.01 is below the opens (FTFC refuses it); the short at 3993.99 then fills, target 3990
  [ok] FTFC: the refused long leaves the short working: 3.69 $/oz

C. 3-1-2: 10:00 an outside bar (3990-4010), 11:00 inside (3996-4007), 12:00 up: 4007.01, target 4010

  [ok] the 11:20 minute opens at 4007, above the buy stop 4006.01: filled at its open
  [ok] the 12:00 bar does not reach 4006.01; the break in the 13:00 bar is too late (the order worked only during the next bar)
  [ok] one minute reaching 4006.01 and 4001.99: no trade from that bar
