Have to congratulate you yet again. I know a few hundred traders who wish they could make that in one day. Very well done!!!

Quote from cchili00:
Thought I'd explain my money management strategy, maybe useful for somebody else....
Set a fixed 1st target of +1.5 pts with a stop of -1.25 (less if the high/low of the trigger bar allows it). Once the bars start forming I use the high/low of the previous bar +1 tick and move the stop as it goes. Once 1st target is hit, usually move stop to BE automatically, or closer if the high/low of the previous bar allows it. 2nd half of the position I try to let ride, again using the high/low of previous bar as trailing stop. Once I get into the 3-5 pts range I usually tighten up the stop quite a bit to avoid giving much back. After all, this is scalping. The trades shown on the chart are the average for the position, so 4 trades today were +1.5/+4, all with the morning trend. The 3 longs were quick scalps against the trend, 1st one actually shouldn't have taken (too close to TL).
