Scalping is a high-frequency trading style that aims to profit from very small price movements, typically 1–10 pips per trade. Scalpers open and close many positions within minutes or even seconds. Success requires tight spreads, fast execution, and a broker that does not restrict rapid trading. Scalping is best suited for highly liquid markets and peak trading hours.
A scalper trades EUR/USD during the London–New York overlap, opening 30 positions in 2 hours. Each trade targets 3–5 pips of profit with a tight 3-pip stop loss. The cumulative small gains add up over many trades.
