PROPENSITY100 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Scalping is a technique of simultaneously opening and closing orders quickly usually within 5 minutes with an intention to capture a few pips. scalping is best when there is no major news in the market and when the market is sideways.

riddick09 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I think it's not exactly 5 minutes but more precisely we have done scalping in few minutes of opening a position and once we have seen some pips gained as profits we immediately close the position. Although, this is not easy without having quick analysis of the market to ensure that it will indeed in our favor or making profits and of course, we should be good also in timing.

standart Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 scalping is one of trading style that usually tried to chase small pips profit target only but use high margin for every order. because the target is small, usually use small time frame also as main work frame. this method is including difficult than if traders use long term style because work in volatility display and not in major trend display.

riddick09 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Not chase but only target small pips or small profits. I don't think scalping use of the high margin but better to use of the stop loss feature and that they will not loose their trade with no risk management even scalping can easily reach you to your margin call which we are all preventing. You have said the volatility therefore, you should know how big the pips it will have in the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Trading and hoping to earn 15 pips more or less in matter of few hours to few minutes only. This is scalping and usually scalpers love to trade a very volatile pairs as the more volatile the pair the easy the order to get filled. Regardless if its going to be TP or SL. The objective of scalping strategy is to have lots of trading with small profits. So its more like quantity trade type of strategy and not quality type of strategy.

riddick09 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Or we can say 15 pips less most of the time. Because, many traders can do also with lower pips but with higher lot size or volume. However, Forex scalping will be advantageous when we don't have much spreads say, 1 or 2 spreads only and this will be really for us to achieve a complete trade and that it will be also profitable for us in both the earnings and time.

budado Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Trading and aiming for just 15 pips is scalping and usually if you trade using scalping its going to take you one hour more or less to accomplish and usually you use 15 minutes time frame. I do hope that I can earn good amount of money in forex using scalping strategy problem is that its seems I have hard time doing that. I don't know why. But I just feel that scalping is really not good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddick09 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 And it will depends on how the market volatile at those times. Because, when in the not volatile it will take more time and also not in just an hour. It will therefore has factors like the time of the volatile market. Yet, traders should know the time that the market is very volatile to assure of the scalping and it's advantage for trading and we can achieve it in few minutes only.

pepy Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 When market become more volatile i think that is the best time to do scalping but we must be careful when do it, sometimes when we cannot control it, and will give us loss not profit. and it is all about the right time to do scalping if they can do it then they will earn fast profit just in short time.

budado Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I don't see any reason why waste our opportunity by just trading scalping if we do happen to have a volatile market. As the more volatile the market the more profit we can gain so why just limit our trade to scalping? Its good to trade scalping if the market is trading side way. Since the volatility is minimal its good just to aim for low profit each trade and that's why its good to do scalping in low volatile situation.

riddick09 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Because for the scalpers chances that the market will have reversal. And we see that sudden increase or drop so, we can just have one decision unless, the volatility will remain in the same trend will continue. It's just hit and run and then, we can gain profits and no worries on the next situation. Because, we need to grab those opportunities and avoid sudden spikes which is not in our favor.

euro Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yes, I think I like this scalping strategy. I can make quick profit and do not have to wait around for all day long. I prefer to do scalping cause of my limit timing. I don't have all day to watch a trade nor can I afford to sit around and wait and I have other things to do. I think this strategy works well for me although I also have luck with long term trading. Long term trading also help me gain more profit and reduces my risk. I guess if you have time then try long term trading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaban Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I rarely do scalping. But my broker gives the freedom to do scalping.
