The scalping
The scalping is a mass of operations made during a only day of bargaining and it lasts, for operations, a short time, usually from few seconds to few minutes (10 – 15).
The scalping is a technique of speculation, which aim is utilizing the speed and taking advantage also of a little currency's fluctuation for gaining also a small profit, but repeated many times in one day.
In the forex, the scalping, if it is done right, can yield the big gains thanks to the coefficient of multiplication of the lever effect.

Why do you do scalping?

... I can made pips quickly (but we can also loose them at the same speed). Usually I open many orders and I close them even if I gain few pips.

... is enjoyable, it's look like more the gambling than the investment. Usually I don't open the positions for a long time, unless the trend doesn't push a lot.

.... I like doing scalping's incomings, but I couldn't define scalping, because of my stop loss are determined by the action price and they are largest than that we can think for scalping.

.... I have tried in a only day with a demo to use my "technique" based on the scalping and I have gained about 350 € in an hour.

.... I make from 3 years only scalping and I'm happy and then I want to go on doing scalping, it yields me.

....because with the scalping properly called, which lasts few seconds, I can remove almost entirely the "time" variable.
Being beyond the scope of the platform, of the broker and of the spread, the "slippage" variable is more important.

....I created by myself old systems of scalping and the scalping in 5 – 10 minutes yields more to me. The results are: many gains, small, but self.

....I have started with the scalping and then, maybe like many people I think, I have done longer operations. So I think about the scalping as a way of working without a clear strategy. I say this, because we should work up to wait planning how and when enter (supports and resistances).
I do scalping when I wait that I name "my critical points of intervention" (resistances which become supports sustained by the mobile average, pivot point etc.). In conclusion, I like the scalping but it doesn't have to be stressful and doesn't have to be distraction from my planned intraday operations, which always moves nicely by themselves , and the only work is the correction of the stop loss.

....I do two trading activity: one is systematic and I use the EA (Expert Advisor), and the other discretionary.
With the EA, I use with difficulty time frame less than 15' and the strategies have the aim and are based on concepts either of technical analyses or of application of the neural net.
When I work in discretionary I do it in only a minute.
I use 1' as a time frame and at the same time I keep opened a graphic in 5'.
I enter in momentum using two or three figures by force, or exploiting the "mini-side" in the consolidation's phases.
I open just if the spread is within the 3 pips and as I enter, I always try to use the Break Even Stop Loss with trailing, after a momentum (if there is), or a Few Tick & Go if the volumes are low and the side is a trouble presence.
The Stop Loss are very tight (from 10 to 15 pips) and as soon as I can, I pull back them.

....I consider it as a gambling.
I enter and I use just if there are determined least necessary conditions, if there aren't I prefer to leave alone.
I work only for gaining and not for filling the will of "clicking" on the mouse.
The security of the Stop Loss is the warranty in the case of the courses suddenly get into bad ways.

.... when I start a scalping session I do in the mid-range about a hundred operations, and then I stop just a moment for going back over the looser operations.

.... I regard the Scalping profitable, almost pleasant when we are far from the right enter or when we are waiting for it, and so we delight in gaining some pips.

....I do scalping when my broker allows it, but I can be more precise because I don't perform it in a systematic way. Knowing the broker, we should understand what they mean for " allowed scalping"; it's always better to be informed.
