Observations:
Once I finally got on line (10:30) and missed the FE at 9:12&9:26 I should have closed up shop.
My trading rules say that if I'm not in a trade by 10am to not trade.

Mistakes:

• not paying attention to trend and trading against it

Total all trades = -$87.50

Slept in and started late. Missed FE=LE equal L1366.50 at 8:36
1366.50+11.75=1377.25
It is dancing around the HE and could stay here most of the day.
Trading this, at this time, is - so today's trade in ES just for the contest.

I made a second trade - I guess I'm not really happy with my progress towards my goal so far.
Lots of work - little results, so I pushed it a bit.

Looks like the short side would have been the better way to trade ES.

End of day:
Today was a "V" day. I was slow-footed from my late start, so my big challenge is to get to bed early enough so that I can get up on time in the morning. This means stopping working sooner and "leaving it til tomorrow:.
Starting with the short side would have been the better way to trade ES today.
