What is the obsession with scalping?

ahah u wanna make boxing match?)

LOL. You don’t seem to want a war of words and now you want a boxing match?

And I bet you’re going to tell me that you beat Mike Tyson in the ring right? And when I ask for proof you’ll ask me to look it up in Google? :smiley:

I happy to do it np coz I like boxing dont smile send me direct message be a man now

What do you want me to say to you on a DM that I can’t say here in the forum?

Sending DMs makes one a man? Say what you want to say here for all to see.

I thought you did not have time for “word wars”. Perhaps you should look up some words on Google.

lol man another keyboard hero ))))

Oh man! You really showed me!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

What do you mean by “natural”? Tell me how her question was “unnatural”?

I don’t know what your issue is. I don’t have any more questions for you since I don’t believe you have any valuable answers to provide.

Happy Trading. I wish you well.

I cant make u boxing champion if u kung fu master :rofl: jab jab jab

i think you are approaching this with a closed mind. I mean you need to open your mind and look at the trading world the same as life in general. I am pretty sure that there are some people you look at and tell yourself that you will never date them even if your life depended on it. But that person would, as a matter of fact be someone’s sweetheart.
Now, scalping may not be for you, but do not despise it because someone out there might be making loads of money out of it. The reason why I say you are despising it is the way you put it

Underline the word properly. Everyone who scalp is doing it improperly? No offence taken though, that’s how you see it.

What is the definition of a normal job? Is trading an abnormal job?
Do you realize that a scalper can make more pips from the same move as a swing trader? Let’s say for example the market bounces of a daily support level and you the proper trader buys and aim for the nearest resistance level that is 100 pips away. The improper trader goes down to M15 and trade pull backs in the same direction aiming for 20 pips per trade until the same nearest resistance.

The scalper might make 150 to 200 pips on the same move that yielded only 100 for you. The pullbacks provide the improper trader with a lot of discounted opportunities that you do not have as a proper trader. That can be a motivation for one to scalp the market, something you do not get of course.
Well, I do both myself. Proper and improper trading as you put it. I trade off the daily key levels and hold one position until the nearest daily key level, and trade pullbacks in the same direction intraday on the other position. So, I guess I confuse you even more.

Basic questions if not answered are a red flag for me.

Thanks @QuadPip

Enjoy your weekend.

Got your point. But with the price action, if one does not follow the strict exit strategy, it would definitely lead to a great loss. I particularly talked about newbies as it requires strict planning.

Scalping is lucrative because of consecutive profits one can make while scalping. Although the profits are small, they are consistent.

It all depends upon different trading strategies that people adopt while trading. Scalping is a great strategy for people who trade full time and make their bread and butter out of it. For them, being glued to the charts is not that hectic.

The answer is very simple. Every person has his own strategy and knows what works for him. Something that works for me may not work for you. And who said scalpers are glued to the screen through out the day? When i started scalping, I was spending a lot of time in front of the screen, but now, I know when to take profit and when to stop.
