Scalping can mean different things to different traders, but I personally take scalping to mean very short-term trading, ie trades generally last just a few minutes and no longer than about an hour at most.Most of my trades last longer than this, but saying that I do still dabble in very short-term trades occasionally and generally do okay, although it is slightly more stressful and you do need quick fingers at times.However, what I've noticed is that there is definitely one period of the day that is a lot more predictable, and therefore profitable, and that is the start of the London trading session between 8.00 and 9.00 UK time.I first noticed this when trading the FTSE because having always made pretty good profits trading this index between 8.00 and 9.00, I also noticed that the major

One of the new terms in forex trading is "Scalping", which refers to the practice of opening and closing a position within few seconds. If the trader does it right, scalping reduces exposure risk, even though it is done at higher rates of leverages.Basically, forex scalping method is based on an assumption that most of the process will complete first stage of a movement which is that price will move in the desired direction for a brief time, but where it goes from there is uncertain. The brief amount of market exposure and the frequency of small moves are key factors behind the popularity of the forex scalping strategy.Forex trader may even achieve positive results by winning only half or even less of his or her trades, if the profitable trades are bigger than the losers. A successful scal

Forex scalping requires a completely different mindset to other forms of day trading. Those who engage in Forex scalping normally make a number of trades a day taking somewhere between 5 to 10 pips from the market each time in many cases. Of course, the more trades that are made, the higher probability the scalper will have losses.Hence the need to exercise discipline and not shoot at everything that moves. Look for only high probability trades. This however is easier said than done. That is why the following piece of information is critical in understanding market behavior from a Forex scalping point of view.A Crucial Piece Of InformationThe crucial piece of information we are referring to is this:Somewhere between 60 - 80% of the time, the market is in consolidation.This means that most

The ability to master most of the times frames including major and minors such as Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4 Hourly, 1 Hourly, 30 Minutes, 15 Minutes, and 15 Minutes are very important to scalpers. The lack of understanding for most of the time frames will only bring a temporary success to a certain time frames and fail on the rest of it.The understanding of time frame is not an easy task as each of them show different degree of movement and different patterns. It also represent the length of time how long should you stand a position there before making an exit for example 5 minutes time frame usually takes 10 to 15 minutes for you to hold before making an exit. So your adventure of understanding the time frame make you another task that takes months or a year to study. However the rewards of understanding will certainly put your a step further to become a successful scalper.What then could be the reasons we need to understand most of the time frames? Well!! because we want to be precis

Scalping is a trading style specializing in taking profits on small price changes, generally soon after a trade has been entered and has become profitable. It requires a trader to have a strict exit strategy because one large loss could eliminate the many small gains that the trader has worked to obtain. Having the right tools such as a live feed, a direct-access broker and the stamina to place many trades is required for this strategy to be successful.Scalping is based on an assumption that most stocks will complete the first stage of a movement (a stock will move in the desired direction for a brief time but where it goes from there is uncertain); some of the stocks will cease to advance and others will continue. A scalper intends to take as many small profits as possible, not allowing them to evaporate. Such an approach is the opposite of the "let your profits run" mindset, which attempts to optimize positive trading results by increasing the size of winning trades while letting oth

Today in Wolverhampton Racecourse I traded Tugalu horse and made EUR53. The odds didn't drift nor steam but rather hovered around 4.50. Yet, there were some nice scalping opportunities which could be exploited in order to make money before the horse race even went off! Here's the video capture of my trading moves made with Bet Angel Professional (http://www.betangel.com/cmd.php?af=484230): Here is the final outcome:

“If you can’t beat them, join them” seems to be the new motto for Major League Baseball. Ticket scalping or brokering (depending on how softly you want to put it) has been a huge underground business for years.  With the internet, it became even easier to buy/sell tickets on the secondary market. Major League Baseball is now getting in on the act with StubHub. New York Time Story

I continued my scalping today and I seemed to have come out ahead again. Maybe I am on to something here. When I was trying dummy trading I tried to stick to my stops and and follow the rules but ended up I get stopped quite often. My ability to wait and pick the best setups was weak. It was painful to wait for an hour or more for a setup and lose money on it. By scalping I feel I am able to trade freely again. I would be in trades and if it stalls I get out quickly. I am able to handle my losers better because most were between 1-5 cents. If I am right I get to make 10-20 cents which is a decent risk/reward ratio. I only have to keep my discipline in check and make sure I don't hold on to a loser for over 20 cents. +26525800 shares

What really makes me chuckle about this whole thing is the way the Democrats are so offended (they live to be offended) when one of their own, such as Amanda Marrcotte or Melissa McEwan, gets scalped when they are the ones that really started this trend. My experience is that conservatives tend to have much thicker skin and as I said above liberals live to be offended. I guess they think it gives them them the moral high ground os some such nonsense. But I totally agree with the writer that everyone should get thicker skin and quit being such whiney bitches about the slightest mis-step. ~RJH Beltway Blogroll article link 'Scalping' Standards For The Blogosphere?

To all those scalping skeptics around, these are my thoughts:You're very right about scalping strategies - nobody should only scalp. Scalping is risky.Scalping is dangerous and it could indeed lead to big losses or even margin calls. But when using low leverage, when only approaching high probability patterns and when tight and rigid stop losses are used, scalping is great for the trader's mind. You get a feeling of how the price is moving when studying these short term trends + you get the benefit of training the brain to impose and respect very strict money management and system rules.This is what scalping does for me - it keeps my mind in shape, and it helps me remind how important the psychological factor is when trading longer timeframes and bigger position sizes.Scalping doesn't earn a living. It just keeps me in shape

Start feeling the market. You can do this, really.Always check the bigger time frames before opening any position. Find out what the big trend is and trade it. Find out where support and resistance lines are. Be aware of them - they might help you or they might be your enemy, depends only
