Things looking well so far spiderman. Interested to see if you can get a few addons running with compounding.
I did some maths on a 4 hr chart with a cherry picked perfect trade just to see how it "could" make a difference "if" I could apply the 50% addon rule to my own variant of your idea and the results where so amazing I rechecked three times as I thought it must be a mistake. To be honest the sceptic in me says I could never do it live but the maths doesn't lie. So I see it as an encouragement and a movator even if in my case extremely unlikely with my modest ability.
I had 1 trade with 4 addons with a range of 14-20 pip Stop Losses and a total pip range from entry to exit of 269 pips so much shorter TF. and with a 100 risk I ended up with 26,625
I had to laugh, the chicken in me would have found it very very difficult to place those last large position trades and emotionally I could not really do it at this stage at least. But nevertheless the maths holds true, in my case on this relatively short trade I would have a Risk of 1 for a reward of 266 that would cover a few losers...!
Don't worry I gave myself a pinch of reality and am back to normal now. Seriously though I really do wish you well in this and hope those addons and compounding kick in with the resulting multiplying factor. I think even knowing these "possibilities" are a good antidote when you have a string of small losers or BE's to keep taking the next trade. The knowledge that 1 good trade could cover a multitude of small losses is emotionally strengthening. At least that's how I find it.

I just found this quote from good old Ed Sey 
). I suppose for me all the "ifs" and "maybes" really need testing in the live environment to see which approach will suit my personality and not just the theory of contrasting ways. As you said above giving back $50K or $100K of floating profit has its own challenges even with the fantastic eventual return outcome of £42K. Like most things its a balance and to try to squeeze the optimum out of every sequence of trades is near impossible. There just is no way round keeping the cake eating it as well.
) when those lot sizes start getting pretty large, at least for my trading experience.
