Because brokers don't care if you win or lose....

Scalping is not riskier than other trading styles, it is just more time consuming and need more attention and proper discipline to implement.

it is more time consuming and obviously risky but some traders really feel comfortable with this trading style as they don't have to wait for a longer period to enjoy profits.

as a newcomer i was successful with BB in demo but when kicked off a live account , this approach not worked as like before , it was my experience about BB.

Just because they are successful doesn't mean you will be

According to our trading experience we the traders select our trading strategy. Actually credible trading broker does not restrict any kinds of trading strategies with scalping and hedging we should choose this kinds of brokers.

If you want to make profit b y scalping, first of all you have to ensure the lowest trading spreads. devoid of lowest trading spreads that’s not possible at all to make profit by scalping at all in spite of good trading knowledge.

No, but people scalp just because they think they'll get rich overnight.Scalping is not EVERYDAY trading.

I thought the whole point of scalping is that you do it every day?

There are some misconceptions about scalping.. Scalping is not holding a position overnight, or a longer period of time for a tiny profit margin and with a huge risk. Scalping is about trading in the lower time frames, such as tick level , 1 and even 5 minute time frame. Scalping with a market making broker is not possible. Correct me if I am wrong with this one.
Position is to be hold for several minutes, and definitely not any longer.

Each the trader has a choice of the broker to be used, should the trader can choose a broker that is more appropriate to the concept of trading that will be sued, if you love scalping , should choose the broker which allows trading concept such as this.

Scalping can be profitable but you need to be experienced and have everything under control, money and risk management,sl/tp targets;emotions,analyisis etc etc. Basically you need to be a good trader to trade any time frame. I myself think profitable scalping through a dealing desk, market maker broker is extremely hard to say the least due to re-quotes and huge spreads.
To give yourself a fighting chance, you definitely need all the GOOD aforementioned attributes in the bag, running under a true ECN/STP broker who is regulated with low spreads and is held in high regard by the trading community at large.
In my opinion, the majority of market makers are just Bucket Shops out to fleece you with inumerous blown scalping acccounts on the books amongst others and TRUE ECN/STP Brokers are the only way to go.
Good luck to all and happy trading.

In my experience, to be successful in a scalping strategy to make profit, it requires a in depth understanding about forex market and long trading experience.

But it is usually the opposite case and usually newbie traders get attracted to scalping strategies by placing quick entry and exit trades to make quick profits. If they make profit in one day, then they think that they can repeat it everyday and get rick quick.

Scalping requires a proper risk management because a series of small profits can be followed by one loss which can wipe out the whole profits. Also, choosing a good broker is very important.

Of course; risk management is very crucial parameter!! Anything more than 1% would be costly; besides having a good return percentage is significant!

Correct..

Also, depending on the aggressiveness and frequency of the scalping strategy trades it might be required to use risk much lower than 1% per trade since every trade costs spread and commissions to cover before entering into profit and in scalping usually the pip expectancy is low.

Much lower is the best option since scalpers need to open lots of trade in every session!

scalping means short term pips gaining method , so i don't know how can it possible to gain 100 pips by scalping , for gaining more pips you have to depend on long term approach. thank you Sir.
