It is a big misconception that one broker is better than the other. The differences if any are very slight in the league of all established brokers. It all comes down to your capability as a trader, to be able to identify good trading opportunities.

You are right regarding the traders capacity but a broker does play a role tooo... For example, if your broker is charging high spreads how can a trader scalp successfully?

Harry! All cars can take you from A to B, but some might be able to do so in 3 minutes while some under a minute. You know what I mean, there ARE differences. Some broker platforms will give you technical glitches, hard time in order execution, hide stuff, there are so many things.

I scalp too, but you must to master the act of scalping so you can be making good returns from each scalp.
I scalp when the market presents that, abd i dont scalp for low profits, i scalp and maje sure i come out with high profits with a very minimum risk.

Thats a good scalping strategy..... Short profits just get eaten up by spreads when you are scalping

You are absolutely right. With the increase in price, trailing stops also get dragged with it. But when the price stops at one point, the new stop loss price remains at the price it was dragged to. This automatically protects the downside and locks in the profits as the price reaches new highs.

Yes, i scalp huge profits and low stops

What I believe is that every strategy requires some hard work and practice. No one is born an expert isn’t it.

Yes but some strategies require a certain skill and they might not work so well for a beginner. Like scalping for instance, it requires a trader to have a very good idea about the entry and exit.

even though scalping sometimes bring profit with very short time but
 it can fall you in a dangerous situation, so be careful when time to scalp.

Scalping does take some time and effort to perfect a strategy and not all traders are willing to put in so much effort at first.

No doubt having an exit strategy is so important. Who’d deny one large loss can nullify the small gains, which a trader worked hard to put in the bank.

The best part of the forex strategy is money management –make sure every time you trade , you don’t risk more than 2-3% of you account otherwise you will break your account pretty soon. I learned that lesson from my own experience.

Is it true that scalping is a kind of risk management technique?

As you are planning to scalp, I am sure that you already know that you will have to keep yourself updated with the current news. You might also have to take the risk of trading the latest or future events that are expected to trigger price movements. I also scalp with robinhood sometimes and watch the high and low price movements to gauge the direction over the short-term.

Along with all the factors you mentioned, one should also be careful for the spreads which definitely widen during news releases.

Forex scalping is a trading style used by forex traders to buy or sell a currency pair and then hold it for a short period of time in an attempt to make a profit. A forex scalper looks to make a large number of trades, taking advantage of the small price movements which are common throughout the day.

When you are trying to become a scalper, you will be required to have very good, reliable access to the market makers. You will also need a trading platform that allows you to buy and sell currency pairs quickly and easily, because the execution may take place in a fraction of a second.
