Opened new account to increase EQ

I signed up for TrueCredit, and was alerted today that my EQ score dropped 63 pts.  I thought opening a new account is suppose to increase your score not decrease.  TU increase 23pts and Ex 5pts.  Does anyone know why the decrease.  I have not pulled my true FICO score yet, so I wonder if it would have decreased as well.

Why would you pull your new FICO score now?
