just to be more specific.. this is my question.

if i take 20 similar trades with similar risk (2pt signal bar) and i assume they all have a 60%  chance of working then i would expect to win 12, lose 8.

if risk was 2 pts i would gross +8 pts. 

but if i scalp out of say 6 of my winners with 1 pt because they only pulled back 2 ticks and then shot in my direction then i gross 2 pts (6-1pt, 6 -2pt, and 8-2pt losers) and add in 5 dollars commision per contract and now you are break even.
