Wow NQ took a dive after my exit, glad I didn't leave this open while going AFK or similar.

Buy NAS100USD x 10 @ 7825 stop 7782
Attempt dip buy for overnight. A bit unclear what's causing NQ-specific dip aside from technicals.

Buy NAS100USD x 4 @ 7831 stop 7782
I've been thinking about changing base bet risk from 400 to 600 for a while now, time to do it (as I keep forgetting). 400 is less than 0.8% of my account now.

Umm yeah great, trade hit a news bomb. Oh well, leaving stop as is as I suspect retracement from here.
Sell XCUUSD x -30000 @ 2.6222 stop 2.6291
Saw a news headline about world moving towards a glut next year, and besides I'm already bearish on copper despite its refusal to move past current S/R-line. Might extend stop a bit as I put it very narrowly if position survives for an hour.

Move stop 2.6357
Remains to be seen whether trade was a good idea but it suffers a high risk of stopping and then immediately reversing where it currently is, hence wider stop. Approximately risk of $400 now

XCUUSD appears to have been an idiot trade, expecting stop to be hit shortly.
Close NAS100USD +220
XCUUSD closed for -410
Closing NQ because up move from last night looked rather weak.

Staying out remainder of day, noting I'm not that sharp.
So today has been another day where just holding on long would have made me $$$. But I think low risk attitude right now is fine, I will make such underperformance back on better days. And in the long haul I should learn options so I don't need to worry about poor price paths screwing my stops and what not.
Where I need to take a hard decision on for next year is whether I should discretionary trade anything but equity indices at all given it's there I have positive expectancy, but TBD - the more sample data I have at year's end the better.
