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

Slept in and started late. Missed FE=LE equal L1366.50 at 8:36

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.
Slow start - had to update charts to Jun contract for ES
got up late 5amPT - DLS started Sunday.

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.
