No, I didn't increase the number of lots. I can't pinpoint the exact change, but one of the things is I changed to a higher timeframe. Also, increasing number of lots can only be done with a larger capital and given the increase in margin, with IB you need e.g. at least 60K if you want to trade 2 lots of NQ imho.
