20-contract lot ES, two round turns. Only traded the afternoon past 1pm est, away for the morning.
Long 1562 was stopped for -2pts, long 1560 later on went for +4pts. Fractional gains from premarket trade scratched near par this morning.
Morning signal was short +/- 1565 which worked down to 1561 before lifting a tad. If I'd been present for that one, probably would have stopped at +3pts ~ +4pts and skipped the afternoon.

Objective is to average +2pts ES daily over the course of time. That includes +4pts to +40pt sessions as market action permits, along with some pars and small loss sessions mixed in. A -6pt max loss intraday circuit breaker keeps from digging too big a hole any given session.
Main trading hours are 10am est thru 11:30am and again past 1pm est thru 3:30pm. If it's a good morning, nothing wrong with shutting down early and enjoying life away from the screens, too. After all, we do trade for the money and lifestyle, not the gambling & adrenaline rush. Right?
