I really have moved on this time
Yea, thats true, its not really defined but time, except that is short. It can be anything between 5 secs and 30 min i guess.
Scalping does not necessarily imply a risk to reward ratio, or trading a lot or a little. Let me just say this about risk to reward ratio though: If your risk to reward is 2:1 (2 pips of risk for every 1 pip of reward), but you’re winning 90% of the time, is it still worth trading? Of course! You should pay just as much attention to your win to loss ratio as to your risk to reward ratio - they’re both important. The way that I trade, I might have a mental stop of a little more than my profit objective, but I’m so selective about the trades that I take that it really doesn’t matter. I might only make 1 or 2 trades in a week, but if my win rate is really high, I can afford to trade more lots.
