PayTheLimit, how are you able to successfully keep your nerves in check? I've had a couple scalps that I've taken reverse on me, which I've then held until they reach slightly above BE, and closed the trade for a slight profit, only to see the price action run in the direction I originally thought it would.

Are you entering your trades either expecting to hit your predetermined TP or SL, with no exceptions?

You have to have an out my friend, cause one of those times a trade never comes back, then you got problems. Always have an out.

My first account was blown because I never placed a SL (I was a newbie trader who thought they knew everything), but now I'm worried that I place my stops too close and get hit too often. When I scalp I aim to rake in 5 pips, using a 10 pip SL. I'm wondering if this is too tight?

How do you determine the amount of risk that you are willing to take on when you scalp?

Tough question. With that type of risk/reward ratio you are going to need to be right a hell of a lot. But that's fine. I'm afraid there is no correct answer, you are going to have to see what type of results you can produce going forward. My two cents, start small, and don't overtrade. Less is more, like you say, over the long run.
