I'm glad we had this dialogue.
Made me realize, for the amount of money I want to make, my positions are too small.
But trading 1000 shrs per trade instead of 200-500?
THAT IS risky ...
If I'm gonna do 200-500 shrs per trade, I'll have to do more than one trade 1X per day.
Sigh ....
So much work!

@ Four,
WHY I don't "let my profits run" ....
I have absolutely no reason to not sell @ $118.50 and and continue holding to where it is now - $116.98.
If you made $5K this morning, you just lost 1/2 of it.

IMHO, better to sell @ $118.50 and repurchase @ $116.98.

Why we scalp ...
AMBA - $116.98 to $119.16 -- that's good money.

Why scalp?
AMBA - premarket high = $121.
Now $115.58.
You just CAN'T "let your profits run" on stocks like this.
You'll lose everything.
I can't look @ $121 in the pre-market and say, "oh this is going higher, I'll let my profits run."
By 10:30 AM, your profits are gone.
Since I started typing this msg, we've dropped another 20 cents.
Where's the bottom?
Where's the top?
I don't know.
