Scaling out vs staying fully invested

You may be correct about short term trades with something like a 40 pip goal. I let all my trades run (since I don't really scalp anymore) until the market stops me out. With this type of trading I have found that scaling in works very well for ME.

For whatever my thoughts are worth, I've posted on this topic at some length here (especially points 1 thru 3) and also here.
