Think of the trading day as divided into 3 frames. If your trade models are more fitting the one than another, focus accordingly. If I have some profit from the 1st frame, but is nominal, I often return to catch the last time frame of the day. Today, doing so to take PM trades violated nothing in my Trade Plan. But using more than the available profit won from the 1st frame to find successful trades in the 3rd would have been a clear violation of a management rule in the Plan. And that's about the best thing I can think to say about my trading today.... so I'll leave it right there, and be back another day.
