Scalping is a pro technique. A newbie shouldn't risk its capital in scalping initially. A newbie is not aware of the market conditions neither he has any idea of the spreads so starting with scalping is definitely gona eat your capital. I suggest higher time frames and fundamental analysis for newbies.
The more your practice, the more you learn.

That is true, I was a day trader when I started off some years back with cmc markets. Thrice had to reinvest from a scratch because I brought my trading balance to 0. I became a scalper later and I don’t think my trading journey (in terms of profits earned) would have been any different if I would have started off with scalping. It’s time that eventually teaches the way the market behaves.

Scalping is good but after hundred of trades, it can go wrong due to the law of large numbers.
And new traders often hold losing positions too long or too large.
They are willing to take 2-3 pips, but not willing to cut losses more than 10 pips and holds them till margin call.

New traders love scalping as it gives quick profit. And this makes them addicted to trading. But I think starting with scalping is a bad idea. Everyone should start with higher timeframe. After some experience scalping can be done.

Bradley88 posted:Be careful with brokers that offer zero pip spreads. They are in business to make money. If they cannot make it in the spread then you can guarantee they are making it somewhere else. Unfortunately, the way they usually do this is by taking the other side of your trades. They know that statistically 80% to 90% of new traders lose most or all their trading capital within the first 90 days.
I prefer scalping because it's profitable for all kind of traders and requires only a well-executed strategy. Currently, I'm looking for a suitable broker that offers spread averaging at 0.0pips and faster execution.
If you could run a business where you knew that you could take most or all of someones capital within 3 months simply by winning when they are losing (that's what happens when you lose on a trade and the broker is on the other side of that trade), would that not be a no-brainer? The fact that it is unethical and unfair does not even register with most of these brokers.
Therefore, I would recommend that you stay away from brokers that offer zero pip spreads due to the conflict of interest this situation entails. They will try to hide the fact that they so this by various means (setting up an intermediary company, for example) or simply mislead you with a claim of offering STP (Straight Through Processing) without clarifying that they also have a 'Dealing Desk' (which they use to 'facilitate liquidity' - broker speak for winning when you lose).
There's a lot of sharks out there, be careful that you don't get eaten.
Happy Trading!
Start with EQUITY MANAGEMENT
