Most of the time you should target 2 or 3 lines; 2.5 being 100% of the H1 average true range.
Stack all of your lines: if you have 8 in the box and you make 1 then your total is 9 so your size is then increased to x(9/8)
Stacking is worth more than holding:
If you could grab 3.5 lines every trade then your line value would double every two trades ($10, 20, 40, 80, ...) and that would be worth more than holding for many lines; both of the aggressive strategies target 3.5 lines of profit.
Stacking a line one at a time is a very slow way to do it.
