Stick to opens!

Past several days have been frustrating. I've had nice opens, but second batch of trades knocks me back.

I had been going on the premise that if I'm doing great in the open, then it's "my" kind of day, or I'm tuned in, or whatever, and I keep going. But the 10:00 trades haven't been working. So stop after Round 1. If I come back, it should be much later, after the 5 min setups settle in.
