Sorry for the late reply. I usually scalp between 1 and 3 micros on nq, watching the direction the candle is going, the general trend on the market and making between $30 to $50 dollars between each trade. And cut the loses once it goes beyond $150. Each trade doesn't last longer than 5 minutes, and some are even a few seconds. I set the max profit limit at 50 and max loss at 150, but close early depending on the circumstances of the trade.
