I have to agree there, scale trading is a very "dangerous" tactic, be very
carefull.
Test any system on "1 contract" only and see how it does (or max. X
positions but not too many).
This type of trading requires "unlimited" resources and much patients (wait
and see if "some day" it comes back to more favorable prices).
Who likes margin calls ?

If it looks too good to be true than is always is ......

This reminds me of a test a did with TS's code for trailing stops. Wow, that
worked great on daily bars.
Only a shame that intraday those symbols would hit the "trailing" pullback
%/price several times and hence would invalidate that system.
Or P&F charts with a volatility breakout.
Any more ?
