I put some dummy data to show what it looks like.

Because you're tracking actual results, as long as you have a statistically significant sample, making these kinds of choices are GOOD things and are NOT superstition (the data doesn't lie!). That's literally EXACTLY what you want to be doing. Well, either that or figuring out why you have such trouble the rest of the time. Maybe you have coffee only on Friday and that's why you're doing better then. Having this kind of knowledge, you could then take pics of the trades you take and annotate with entry/stop/exit and reasoning and why it worked/didn't work at 9:45 on fridays vs any other time. Emotions are another important point. You want to really drill down into any kinks you might have OR avoid times/places/whatever where you're really not doing good.
For example, maybe as the day progresses you become increasingly tired and make poorer trades. Solution? Stop trading at ~11:30.
That's perfectly fine. Maybe you will have to finetune your strategy to accommodate that: maybe you'll set your take profit and walk away at the beginning of the day instead of micromanaging.
That's OK. The goal is to make money, nothing else (amount of trades, winrate in absolute terms, etc.) matters.
