Scalping is a type of day trading that involves buying and selling securities in a very short period of time, typically minutes or seconds. Scalpers aim to profit from small price movements by entering and exiting trades quickly. They use technical analysis and charting to identify opportunities to buy and sell securities and make small profits from each trade. Scalpers may also use high-frequency trading algorithms to enter and exit trades automatically at high speed. The objective of scalping is to make many small profits, rather than a few large ones. This can be a high-stress and high-pressure activity, as scalpers must make quick decisions and act fast to take advantage of market opportunities. Scalping requires a significant amount of capital, as well as a strong understanding of market mechanics and the ability to handle risk.
