I can't accurately say what the numbers would be without scaling, because I don't trade that way and have no intention of doing so.
I don't want to derail this thread, so I will just briefly say that I look to the left for clear price action support/resistance, then align that with profile levels, and usually set three targets. I generally try to give the market a wide berth on reaching the targets simply by asking myself "am I wrong on the direction here?". If I am not wrong then I try to stay in the position. As the first and second target are hit, if the market pulls back then I will look to re-enter again on the pullback if I feel it was overdone and we will continue in the original direction.
Again I think it is very important to understand that my smallest chart shows around 6-7 days of action, and that I am not scalping. I don't think you can apply most of what I am saying if you are scalping.
I was not attempting to be confrontational -- while at the same time I was not stating a matter of opinion, either.
You hold 100% of the rights to all of the value (money) that you are ahead in a live trade.
If you would prefer think of this money as "vapor" -- that's certainly your choice.
But unless you are flat and plan to never initiate another trade --- then by your logic -- any amount that you plan to put at risk on trades in future trades should also be thought of as "vapor".
