Scalping - boon or bane?

The majority of these salping orders here (except cascading trading, here it's 0.01 Lot, 10 cents) are executed with 0.05 lot, say 50 cents per pip on basis of a 300.-$ real account.

Metamorphosis
Look at these trades #391 & #392, please.
When scalping and the trades aren't running in the winning zone within a certain time, I look at th ATR & higher time frames.
When I get the impression that I could stay these scalping orders longer in the market with my risk- & moneymanagement I let these scalping orders (yet "swinging trades) in the market.

My avenue.
Why do I do so?
I like to bear responsibility over my scalping trades "beyond death" which should occur by their Stop Loss.
It's my experience which told me that I should'nt quit these trades with regard to longer time frames.
Here I differ from most scalpers.

EURUSD, Long @ 1.3185 (0.03 Lot), Target @ 1.3200

It could be awfully well that the market will shaping one bigger abrupt price movements at these crazy fridays, so why not give it a chance and pitchfork a careful 0.03 Lot trade into the market. If the market price would go at first more down, I can put more wood on the fire (e.g. mS1 @ 1.3169, DS1 @ 1.3151 - with regard to the pivotals).:nerd:
