Eyes back on the prize after a tough day ...

I goofed and increased my contract size to 2 on /NQ today and got clobbered. Fortunately I won 3 /NQ 2-tick trades (1 contract each) so cut my loss to $176.

And I found it stressful and annoying, staring at the /ZB DOM chart, even though I won all three.

I am going to stop setting my alarm to get up with the opening of the market but may still try and pick up a couple of ticks of /ZB now and then. But I need to focus back on algorithm development. I have a couple of ideas to try out over the next few days ...
