There's more than one way to skin a cat. Work that cat man!
If a setup triggers and hits an exit level in 2 minutes, I don't wonder if it is scalping or not. I don't give a shit, if it is simple price action and one of about 6 targets that are out there, e.g. a fitty to 200 trade gonna take a damn good look when that price hits the 200 and depending distance traveled already, what and how much shit lies on the other side of that 200, an exit may very well be in order right there, it might be a simple no brainer to continue on to the next target, a pivot, a horizontal trend line or channel, but the last thing I give a shit about is whether or not to call it a scalp or whatnot. Don't care at all, also don't care about the dif between intraday designation or swing. Whatever works, beautiful. What's your stop, what's your entry, what's your stop gap, what exits are you looking at.
That's where you come in SML. Some time back I posted that there were prolly some damn good traders on ET that could enter on a flip of a coin and Manage the Trade from there, regardless of when that coin was flipped during the session.
You are Managing your trades one step away from a coin flip imho. I like it.
You don't give a shit about entry rules as far as I can tell. Think I care? I don't give a shit. I got my toolbox of entries. We been around that subject and stand at different perspectives and understand one another's preferences.
As for exits, we ain't done those, lol. Happy to share the exits I like to look at with ya, but ain't about to distract you with that crap unless you ask about it.
Any exit ideas you have for me, I am open for ideas 24 / 7 / 365. Bring bring. Right here in front of god and everybody, in a pm, or take the nunya rule. All good.
Advice can be more of a pain in the ass than help. A guy can post a chart over in Buy 1's SP thread where trades are often posted and they ain't got no time for that. I have posted a couple over there in thumbnail so's a trader gotta click on it by choice, it ain't smackin em in the face and causing maybe some distraction.
Now, did you wade through all that shit?
Here's something from what looks like a scalper, a designation that MacBoo no likee. Looks like a nice piece of business to me... is it scalping? I don't care.

So what time do you trade if you start late?
Between 9:30 and 10:30?
You think I'm casin your crib for a heist dontcha!
Don't blame you a bit. Can never be too careful.
Hell, save us both some time and if you want, just invoke the nunya rule man,
nunyafuckingbusiness.
I'm good with that, but can't let go otherwise. Time or nunya rule, up to you SML.
