scalping

[Devante]

As I am new to trading, I have come across a term SCALPING every now and then, can someone explain me briefly about that

I am also a beginner. I watched a lot of different videos, read a lot of forums, and many say that this is one of the most profitable strategies!

Scalping is always better for EAs humans are not made for manual HFT trading because there are too many emotions involved

EA also provides full monitoring of all trading instruments for a signal to open / close orders and the speed of the process.

Scalping is basically going in and out of the market regularly in order to take small profits here and there,. its a risky strategy though

Scalping could be the profitable trading strategy when traders really understand with the market behavior, using broker low spreads more benefits.

Signals in scalping are based on indicative noise capture. What is needed here is not an understanding of the market, but a well-tuned trading system with clear signals based on indicators.

Hi! Basically it's a way to make a quick profit from short-term price changes. We use it when the price of an instrument is not really going up or down, which we call consolidation or sideways phase. So we will buy and sell instruments when the price is on either the support or resistance side, and then close the position when the price moves in the opposite direction. I hope this helps!!

This strategy is typically used by algorithmic trading systems or expert advisors (EAs) because it
requires a high level of speed and precision, which is difficult for human traders to achieve
consistently.

Scalping can be done easily during the high volatile markets and most brokers allow trading during news as well but most prohibit arbitrage trading. New traders being unaware of the market conditions should try to trade on longer time frames rather than scalping in my opinion.

Scalping can be a high-risk strategy, as it relies on high leverage and rapid trading activity.
