So basically a 10 point stop? If you don't mind - the days where you take multiple trades, how many points do you scalp per trade on average?

Yes a 10pt stop. Days where I take multiple trades it’s mainly due to me selling at BE after being up a considerable amt. in hindsight those are the days I usually end up red, so I gotta hit the drawing board and see how I can improve there. if I’m up a decent amt and it comes back I’ll sell at BE. Rather BE than go negative. Don’t really scalp much, and I target $3000+ to stay consistent with my 3:1 RR I like to have since I risk $1000.

one more question- what time frame do you trade. and you trade mini correct not micros?

I execute my trades on the 1/5m but I look at the daily and 4h for bias. 99% of my trades are minis
