Scalping 

Scalping is a form of trading that aims to make short-term profits with fast trading. Each order can last only a few seconds or at most minutes per trade. Therefore, scalping traders have frequent trades in a day. From tens to hundreds a day.


Scalping is one of the day trading styles in which traders do not hold orders across the day. But the uniqueness of scalping trading is the time frame used to trade. It is preferable to use 1 minute or 5 minutes Time Frame in trading, using a trading strategy that provides fast entry and exit signals and makes trading decisions based on technical charts.

The goal of scalping is not to make huge profits on each trade. Instead, it focuses on making small but multiple profits. By aiming to profit from small price changes, scalping traders are known as scalpers.

The advantage of scalping is that traders are exposed to only short periods of price fluctuations and take profits several times a day.

The caution when trading scalping is that there must be a clear Stop Loss point at all times. Because of this style of trading, if you lose too much money per trade, you will not succeed. Because the key to successful scalping is a high win rate and low loss per trade. And always consider Risk to Reward.
