I'm aiming for about 10-15 dollars profit per position. While hoping for one of those big yen breakouts.
The only problem here is that your account is aiming towards zero. So you two are not in sync.

EJ looks attractive because of the large range but you need to make sure you manage your risk and exposure effectively otherwise you will get wiped out.

Managing risk isn't just per individual trade, it's also overall, trading a bad entry with a small SL just to try it will be a slow death.

Here are the 3 positions for the day. As a scalper, it is very important to identify when your position is going against you. You should always close the position for a loss, and never move the stop loss higher. Unless you will counter that position with a bigger lot size as I did.

your account have to much risk bro.
.2 isn't much risk at all. .7 is a higher lot size, but a higher lot size doesn't equate to having a higher risk. Well in my eyes it doesn't. Ones entry, and decision as to why he should take it is the underlining risk factor. Had I not closed that .2 position I would of been in a much larger hole. (Although a small one) The .7 counter it as the previous high was at an attempt of being broken. In which my stop loss was 5 points, wagering that the high would actually be broken causing a surge of the price. It was't a 30 pip surge yet it worked out well.

Depending on market conditions I most certainly agree. Yet, it is much better then moving your pre-set stop loss as I've noticed you do on losing positions.

Since entering that .7 lot size order. EUR/JPY has increased +12 pips, and the actual entry has yet to been re-touched.

Don't listen to such nonsense. That is one the biggest mistakes any FX trader could do. You need identify a reasonable leverage for your risk appetite and LOT SIZE and trade the same amount untill your account shows some substancial growth. Changing the amount of lot sizes will cause you lose control...

If a trade is a "good trade" to take then it should be worth the same risk as any other trade you take, after all you never actually know in advance which ones will loose and which will win. So this raises a couple of questions when you take different sized trades like you have

1. What happens if you win on the 0.2 and lose on the 0.7? any winning edge you had is long gone.

2. If you rated the 0.7 trade better odds than the 0.2 trade why would you take a less optimal entry at all? ie: the 0.2 trade

Countering with a larger size is like pissing into the wind.
