Scalp Trading Methods

Scalping is one of the most popular day trading strategies. It involves selling a security almost immediately after a profitable return is possible. Day traders utilizing this strategy execute the buy and sell of a trade in minutes or even seconds.

Pros of Scalp Trading

Using this strategy, you are looking for minimal data from the market.
With stop losses being very tight, scalping can sometimes curb large losses.

Cons of Scalp Trading

Requires a large amount of focus (at times a full day’s), which can make the trading day a tense and anxious situation.

Since gains are not always large ones, traders can become restless, leading to ill-informed risks.
