Is scalping profitable?

Scalping’s profitable for successful traders with the skills and facilities to do it.

For those people, it’s also the lowest-risk kind of forex-trading there is.

But you need to understand clearly that scalping and retail forex trading are mutually exclusive.

There are several reasons for this, but the main one is that the person you think of as your “broker” (and the Babypips course unfortunately refers to that way) is actually your counterparty and would therefore be the party being scalped!

Nobody minds you scalping the market, but with a retail forex broker you’re not in “the market”: you’re only in “their market”. And they won’t let you take their money for ever, will they, even if you can find a way to do it profitably?

Which is why it doesn’t and can’t work.

Honestly, it’s that simple.
