Scalping is trading with just 15 TP target. I'm hoping to make good income in forex trading by trading long term than by trading short term. Right now my goal is simple. The less I take the hit the less I'm going to loss. Sometimes we are aiming to earn big but we end up getting MC. That's why right now I tried to minimize my exposure to forex trading and only trade few lot and few position at a time.

[riddick09]

It can be lower than 15 PIPS depends on us. As long as it will going to be lowered and that we will going to have our way to trade in short period of time. I think scalping will be most preferred by new traders and that we can always think good for those who have small trading capital and that there will be lower risks also and achieve their trades in a day.
