Actually I did treat all the trades separately, though not with a fixed target. I set the stops the same (below the start of the uptrend - though...
Success; so this is a 5 minute chart of yesterdays SPX. I had entered pre-market open (14:30 here in the UK) so already had a reasonable profit...
Many thanks for all the thoughtful comments. I am going to attempt to load an image of the market I was trading to show a few points. If this...
