Oil Trade didn't work out

You remember the trade that I put on the other day.

I'm currently around 70 points up at this stage but am looking for a 200 point gain with this trade with my target at 9852. Another target could be also just below 10000.. I've got to see how price action goes for now... The highest for the day was 9769 which would have been a 117 point gain if one managed to take profit at this level....
