When in the day do I trade best, and when worst?
Your best hours are 06-12: 26 trades averaging +0.59R and winning 65% of the time. Your weakest are 00-06: 11 trades averaging +0.00R.
No block of the day is losing money on average, so there is no hour to cut, only some that are better than others.
Figures from your journal, not advice. Blocks of a few dozen trades can move a lot from one month to the next.
