OK :>)
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?

Another slow but steady day scalping on the long side. Got out a bit early on my longs but I can't complain with another profitable day. Flat overnight.
Need to take care of some stuff this afternoon so calling it quits a bit earlier today.
(what are the chances of the numbers matching up exactly from yesterday?)

Decent day. Couldn't really make anything happen the way I wanted it to, but it all worked out.
