[12:20] {Threei} risk/reward ratio
[12:20] {Threei} scalping course has detailed explanation
[12:21] {Threei} briefly, idea is
[12:21] {Threei} with 15 cents initial stop you hit 1:1 at 15 cents profit
[12:21] {Threei} and levels 1:1, 1:2 etc are those where a stock most often stalls or bounces or reverses
[12:21] {Threei} so hard core scalper will take his profits there,
[12:22] {Threei} daytrader will partial out and trail stop
