Many people wonder what scalping is? If explain simple language, then scalping is the exact entry into the market.

What is Forex scalping?

On "Forex" there is such a concept as pipsing, and many novice traders confuse these two concepts. Pipsing is a short-term type of trading on foreign exchange market with a minimum profit. That is, the profit on a deal can be only a few points, and the deal itself takes only a few seconds in time. Scalping can also have a small profit, however, in terms of time, a transaction using the scalping method can last from a few seconds (as well as during pipsing) to one hour, sometimes even more. The duration of a trade during scalping depends on the market situation. In any case, scalping is a short-term type of trading.

The main advantages of the scalping trading method:

1. The short-term nature of the transaction.
2. Quick profit from the transaction.
3. Scalping trading takes very little time. Therefore, there is an opportunity for traders to trade at any free time. Many traders manage to trade even during a break.
4. Trade availability. Scalping does not require any special analytical skills and knowledge. In order to trade this method, fundamental analysis is not required for short-term trading. Usually traders perform charting, candlestick analysis, and also use technical analysis... Traders can use intraday analytics to forecast the market.

Key indicators for trading strategies when working with scalping method

All scalping trading strategies include various indicators. The main ones are such as timeframe, expiration time for binary options, as well as various technical indicators (if used), chart plots, figures. Graphical constructions are needed to indicate important technical levels, display channels, and plot extremes on the chart. Chart patterns are the construction and designation of a triangle, double top, triple top, double bottom, and other patterns on the chart.

There are also scalping strategies that use indicator-free trading. This is a kind of trading that does not use any technical indicators. Technical analysis is carried out on the basis of changes in market prices or candles, in this case, candlestick analysis is used. During this analysis, the trader considers and organizes various or configurations.

Scalping strategies, features

1. Short time periods, time frames. Usually they use such strategies for working with the scalping method, which can be used on M1, M5, M15, M30, H1. These are the most common scalping timeframes.
2. Small take profit, on average from 3 to 15 points.
3. Small stop loss, no more than 10-20 points. Quite often, stop loss is not used at all.
4. The speed of the trader's response. While working on any scalping strategy, the trader is in constant psychological stress. He must be able to quickly respond to any changes that occur in the market.
5. A large number of transactions in one day. On average, a trader conducts from 30 to 100 transactions in one trading day; with automated trading, this number can reach a thousand transactions.

for scalping: the Puria method

This section will discuss scalping on Forex. Puria's strategy is one of the clearest and simplest vehicles. There are several variations of this strategy. Their main difference is the selection of moving averages. The entire trading strategy is based on moving averages and the MACD indicator. You need to set the following moving averages on the working chart:

1. With period AO 85. Method - linear weighted, shift should be 0, apply to Low.
2. With period AO 75. Method - linear weighted, shift should be 0, apply to Low.
3. With AO period 5. The shift must be 0. Simple method, apply to Close.

Now you need to set the MACD indicator with the following parameters 5/26/1, apply to Close.

Having set up the indicators in this way, you can start trading and use scalping on Forex. Puria strategy works on the H30 timeframe. You can use almost any currency pair or any underlying asset, at least this strategy works for all major currencies. Take profit should be set at 15 points. Stop loss is set at will.

Rules for working with the Puria trading method

1. When all moving averages cross, an order must be opened. It opens in the direction indicated by the moving averages. If the AO is directed upwards, then you need to open a buy deal. If, on the contrary, they are directed downward, then you need to sell.
2. The MACD indicator should cross the zero mark. You need to enter the market after the first strip of the indicator is completely formed, you need to enter on the second strip.
3. It is imperative to wait for the indicators to confirm each other. In this case, the Forex trading strategy - scalping Puria, after crossing the moving averages, is confirmed by the MACD indicator.
4. Closing a trade: when moving averages cross at reverse side or closing a trade by stop loss.

Trading strategy for scalping "Three Moving Averages"

This is the simplest scalping strategy. This trading strategy formed simple moving averages.

1. Moving average with a period of 3.
2. Moving average with a period of 5.
3. Moving average with a period of 8.

The idea of ​​a trading strategy is as follows: when all moving averages cross, you need to open your trade. The order is opened in the direction indicated by the moving averages. For example, AO3, AO5, AO8 are directed upward, in the direction of an upward trend, therefore, you need to buy, that is, open an order for "buy" (buy). Similarly, when AO3, AO5, AO8 are directed downward, in this case, you need to sell, that is, open an order for "sat down" (sell). These are the entry points to the market.

Exit from the market occurs when all AOs are directed in the opposite direction. That is, there is a reversal of the trend. For example, there was an upward movement, a market reversal occurred, and a downward movement began. All moving averages have changed their direction and crossed. In this case, you need to close your trade. As you can see from the description of this trading strategy, everything is very simple. It is thanks to simple trading strategies that scalping on Forex has become very common. The "Victory" strategy, which will be presented below, is also one of the simplest and most popular among TS, it is a channel Forex strategy.

TS "Pobeda": conditions

Many traders are interested in scalping on Forex. The "Victory" strategy is an indicator trading strategy. This trading strategy is based on several technical indicators. Most of the indicators will need to be downloaded from third-party resources, since they are not essential for the MetaTrader 4 trading platform.

The list of indicators that are used in this trading strategy: TMA is the main indicator, as well as SSRC, Currency Power Meter. It is possible to add additional indicators:

• HP_DIFF - for closing positions.
• Master Money Bot is used to calculate the lot.
• VE_AIMS is used when modifying orders.
• The "Victory" scalping strategy is used on the M1 and M5 timeframes.

You cannot trade and use this TS during the release of important news on the market. Trading stops 25 minutes before the news is released and resumes 25 minutes after the news has passed.

Trading rules for TS "Pobeda"

If the main indicator is directed upwards, then you will need to buy. Conditions for shopping: TMA is directed upwards, market price touched the lower line of this indicator and went to a reversal; SSRC indicates upward direction, channel width is more than ten points; Currency Power Meter shows the strength of the base currency more than the strength of the quoted currency. The profit is set at 5 points, the stop loss is set at 15 points. On the M5 timeframe, the market price is at the top or middle of the channel. Similarly, only sales are made in the foreign exchange market. Exit from the market - upon reaching the take profit.

What is scalping binary options?

Scalping on binary options is short-term Turbo options, lasting sixty seconds, or one minute. In addition to Turbo, options with duration from one minute to fifteen are a type of BO scalping. Let's take a look at two of the most popular Turbo Options trading strategies.

Binary scalping strategy: Martingale method

The basis of this trading strategy is to increase the initial rate if the option closed with a loss. In order to work with this method, a trader will need big deposit... You must immediately warn that such a trading scheme is associated with high risks and refers to aggressive methods. Basically, all trading strategies for scalping use an aggressive technique.

The advantage of this scheme is that you can get a lot of profit in a short time. The downside is the risks. Therefore, each trader will have to choose which method he will work with. Or it will be a classic scheme of work, when the risks of trade transactions are minimal, but the profit will also be much less. Or it will be an aggressive trading method, when the risks on transactions are high enough, but the profit will also be large.

Trading strategy for binary options using the "Pyramiding" method

Unlike Martingale, this trading strategy is based on increasing each bet if the option closes with a win. In this case, the risks of trade deal reduced to a minimum, since all the risk is borne only by the profit received. The most you can lose is your original bet. Profit, like a snowball, gradually accumulates, and the trader risks only the resulting profitability. Therefore, when working with this trading strategy, a large deposit is not required. However, such a vehicle also has its drawback, which lies in the recovery process. It should also be remembered that these two systems are mainly used in various casinos, in games. And, as many people know, there is a completely different percentage of winning and losing.

For example, with a bet of one dollar in a casino, the user receives a winnings of 100%, and on binary options, the winnings will be from 70 to 90%. This percentage should be taken into account when increasing rates during a loss (winning, when working with the "Pyramiding" method) on options.

In conclusion, it is worth recalling that working on binary options, as well as on the Forex market, is associated with high risks. Any trader has a high probability of both winning a certain position and losing part or even all of his investments. Therefore, before starting this type of earnings, it is imperative that you familiarize yourself with the rules of trading in the foreign exchange market, as well as undergo full training and get the appropriate practice on a training account provided by brokers. Absolutely all practice accounts (demo accounts) are provided by brokers free of charge. Any trader has every opportunity to try his hand at such a training account without risking his own money. And after the trader passes preparatory stage and learns to independently predict the market, then you can switch to a real trading account. Best strategy for scalping, it is a well-developed and tested TS.

What is scalping

First of all scalping is a trading style. It is characterized by the frequency of transactions, the holding time of the position, the volume of the position itself and, which is not unimportant, the risk and profit potential in each transaction. For a beginner in trading, this is a separate way to make money; for an experienced trader, this is just one of the tools. Trading is not very easy to classify, there are no specific "partitions" between styles, types, methods, and so on. Even an investor can be or suddenly become a scalper or scalper, if the decision is unsuccessful, he can become an investor (anecdote). The goal of this work is still an attempt to classify everything that is directly related to scalping in one way or another.

Why is scalping so easy?

Because it is the base or the base, if you like, for trading. Only the scalper studies the infrastructure thoroughly, it feeds him, in fact. Objections in the style of "you don't have to know how the market works to make money" are equal to "Richard Branson can't really read, but he's so cool." Those. the chosen lucky ones do not need anything, according to by and large to get everything. But a strong middle peasant still spends a little time learning to read and write, and then for another 15 years he studies specialization. And when dealing with scalping, you study this World as if under a microscope.

• The advantages of scalping and how it differs from other trading styles

Scalping strategy diagram

Scalping provides an opportunity to study trading in a laboratory environment. At the initial stage, this has its advantages:

Low risk
- action mechanics (everything is stereotyped, no creativity)
- huge number of deals and exponential growth of experience
- extremely small investments to start
- you have this article, website and

• Scalping Markets

Any markets. Everywhere there are infrastructural features. For example, there is no order book or tape on Forex, which means that some of the strategies are simply not available, but the chart is the same everywhere. Or futures - there is a glass and a tape, but the principles of understanding them, due to their absence, are different, as for stocks. Or stocks, but on or, also without ECN.

My specialization is stock scalping, I have a little experience in scalping on RTS and even on ... (). There is no actual difference in terms of the strategies used. And the schedule, as I wrote above, is the same everywhere. And people are the same everywhere and they have the same desires and fears, which means that our approach is the same everywhere.

Actually, I have acquaintances engaged in currency exchange in their cars next to banks - the same scalpers, only analog, not digital.

Infrastructure electronic market shares

There are a lot of interesting things. Not everything “works” for earning money now, in 2015, but I still need to know, I think. Moreover, half of the strategies and ways to make money in scalping are based on the infrastructure of the market itself, which explains the semi-mechanical approach to earnings. There is a very simple logic "If .... then ....", which simplifies the process on the one hand, but alas, makes it accessible, on the other.

Alas, because by painting it all here, I naturally contribute to the destruction of these mechanisms and principles.

But there will be new ones, there will definitely be. and in such a short period of time, I saw several strategies that had been making money for years before that “died”. There is nothing to be done, inefficiencies disappear. But I also saw new "chips" that I skillfully used.

• ECN - what is and how to use a scalper

The purpose of this work is not only to tell about everything I know in scalping in a new way, but also to systematize the existing knowledge, experience and articles. For example, this topic I described it in great detail here - but the information in it is only half valid. And here - everything is described as a whole, as an optional reading matter, I recommend it for general development.

ECN device

Here is a good video recording of a webinar on ECN:

I will briefly refresh the main points. ECN is this electronic system distribution of orders, everyone sees structured lists of buyers and sellers on different exchanges, of which there are many, but this does not affect anything, since the access time to them has long fallen in nanoseconds, which means for you and me this is all, in fact, one market ...

Depth of orders (LEVEL II)

The difference begins when we want to make a deal and we are faced with a choice of how best to do it: "To hit the market with a reception or a bout, which one and which one", "get up and get on the request, but to which market center", "where they will execute faster", "lose the spread and get out / enter for sure or take a risk and get a bonus"... So this number of questions is further enhanced by the presence of more than a dozen market centers (exchanges):

ECN designation in the order book and print ribbon

Some of them pay for the removal of liquidity, some for the addition and with execution fees the same, some take money for the addition, some take for the removal.

Well, a couple of dozen parties, special programs looking for liquidity in different centers with different algorithms, the most used are:

ASUROUX
- NSDQSCAN
- FAST
- SMART ****

Sometimes it is profitable to hit the market with a reception, and go out through ECN, which pays for the removal of liquidity, sometimes on the contrary, go with a limit through BYX, but to blame with the loss of the spread using ASUROUX... There are a lot of options and it is almost unrealistic to write it down in text, therefore these answers are given during a whole lesson at the blackboard with examples, and then repeatedly in practical lessons. For this is a skill, not knowledge, and therefore it must be developed, not memorized.

• Orders and their types

There are the following types of orders:

Limit- orders limited by the order price. You give the execution system a price worse than which you would not agree to receive a position. You may not get a position if there is no counterparty, or you may get it partially, if there is not enough liquidity, but for that you dictate the conditions for the price.

Limit orders can be "hidden" or "partially hidden - Icebergs". If you do not want to show the entire order size, the trader has the opportunity and the right to hide it completely (ECN NASDAQ only) or partially by showing at least one lot in the order (almost all the rest ECN, except for receptions). I use almost only such orders.

Market orders- are not limited by anything other than the size of the position. You give an order to the market to get you the required amount of an asset at any cost, which, of course, greatly affects average price, because your order flies around the market until it is filled, and this can happen very far from the desired entry / exit point, but for that you get as much as you wanted, with a probability 100% ... I myself do not use such orders at all.

This also includes orders for trading imbalances, such as Market on Open (MOO NSDQDDOT) and Market on Close (MOC NYSE or ARCAPOP)... They allow you to take / close a position in the first (MOO) print at the opening or the last (MOS) print on the closure. There are a number of strategies for using them. (cm. ) .

Stop orders- there are both limit and market types. They are used either for a delayed entry into a position or to suppress losses. They have all the features of the orders described above, with the only difference that they are sent to the exchange only by special condition- when the price of the asset is specified by you in the order. I rarely use these orders and only for positional trading.

A little educational program on the glass, tape, orders and terminology:

• Adding and removing liquidity

It takes traders up to two months to understand this point, in rare cases up to six months. With what is connected, I find it difficult to understand, but I suppose that with unwillingness to think, because I refuse to admit that I do not know how to explain!)

Adding and removing liquidity by "hitting" the market

The meaning is quite simple: if your order entered the order book ( LEVEL I and II) and it is seen by all other trading participants (with the exception of hidden orders), then you have added liquidity to the market. If you " hit " application for prices Bid or Ask(limit or market, it doesn't matter), then you delete the liquidity. Any market order removes liquidity, not every limit order adds liquidity - this is the main difficulty to understand.

Scheme of the principle of adding and removing liquidity

• Commissions and rebates

He himself also gave hope for an explanation. But here's the bad luck - hidden and dark liquidity - it's like a black market, excuse me, of bodies and people. He seems to be, but he is not there. And I’m not just making such comparisons. For this very "darkpool market" is precisely the place where everyone is laundered, although not always, of course. Created, as I understand it, exclusively for the internal purposes of the most powerful market participants. Yes, we can also trade there and we even have ... about two dozen receptions for this. Yes, only there are hundreds of these darkpools themselves and it makes no sense to sit and poke at each one until you have a position at least in 100,000 shares, and even if there is, the chances that you will be able to throw off such a volume somewhere at once, without smearing tens of cents on a glass, is as small as the time for making a decision.

Therefore, we will just be such observers, we will know what this is, but it does not concern us in any way, besides, transactions in the dark do not lead to any change in quotes directly, because they do not touch the order book.

Scalping strategies

Nowhere else is there such a variety of strategies as here in scalping. Even if we consider that this style of trading very often intersects with others, nevertheless, as an independent type, it is the most diverse. But do not forget that drawing border lines is not very correct, because any scalper trade can be turned into a positional one, or, trading positionally, you can find entry points like a scalper.

• Charting patterns and scalping formations

The chart is the same everywhere, only the timeframe changes. So no one forbids the use of these patterns or formations both on daily charts and on minutes and hours, they are created by essentially the same forces. So even candlestick analysis takes place here.

• Technical analysis patterns for scalping

We have a wonderful section on our site, created with support - most of these formations were provided by them. I added something on my own. Much remains to be added there, for there are about a hundred of these formations.

So, my favorite shapes are the simplest ones. "Triangles" and (not mine)- and (my), there are still variations on daily charts - "Cup with a handle"... Here's an example:

Buy triangle

Triangle for sale

This is what the same triangle looks like on different timeframes:

And here are examples of equal-scale triangles on different timeframes. They can be traded as well as the minute ones, but here the risk, retention time and, of course, the profit potential change:

Triangles on 1 hour chart

Triangles on hourly chart 2

• Breakouts of levels

I think it is obvious that the breakout of the above-described patterns is the best fit here. But the concept "Level" slightly wider than the simple side of the triangle. Here and "Head and shoulders"(and) maybe even a concept "Bazochki" front "Level"... Examples can be pulled on a lot, I will give a few:

Head and shoulders pattern 1

Figure "Head and shoulders" 2

• Rebound from levels

A kind of dualism. The same figures, it seems, but the entrance is in the opposite direction. The text cannot be described - everything follows from experience and the other factors listed above. For the same "Triangle" under certain circumstances should be taken in the opposite direction, which will lead to a more likely and positive outcome, but you need to practice.

Here is a video from an old, but extremely relevant, where your humble servant broadcasts one hundred percent "Formation number 1":

And a fresh example:

• Exponential movement with volume

The most difficult scalper skill to understand and master. Everything happens extremely quickly, there is no time to think. And you also need to find this, but about filters and programs a little lower.

So, the essence of the strategy is as follows: you need a sharp movement that has arisen as a result of the execution of a very large order (on the market), which has nothing to do with the one that we work out by taking a position, in the direction opposite to the initial movement.

Please do not confuse with "Catching knives", this is completely different. Here are some examples "Exponential price movement" or in common people "Volum spike":

Here "Volum spike", which cannot be traded in any way due to the spread:

Here NOT "Volume spike", the chart is formed by a crazy print in, which has nothing to do with quotes, no less than your footsteps (looking forward to questions):

And here are examples when trading against the movement is "Catching knives":

And here is the news itself on paper:

Be careful with these situations, they beckon of amateur traders to take against everyone.

• Scalping indicators

We are all sinners. (c) not mine

Needed by a scalper for:

• "Analysis of sizes"

This is what it is really useful for, is it looking for large orders or "Sizes"... Not just like that, of course, and not free, but more on that later.

I described this strategy in great detail in the article.

I will go through only fresh examples and a listing of the main characteristics, so that we can accurately understand what is in front of us - size and parsing it will bring us a lot of money:

1. The total size of the size must be large, from 10% and more from the average daytime

2. Sizes must be in all ECN

3. Size must stand against the trend of the stock

4. Size must be at the High / Low level of the day

5. The size should be at a "nice" price level ( ,00 ,25 ,50 ,75, for cheap shares ,05 ,15 ,20 etc.)

6. Ideally, if the size completes the figure with one of the ones we need

7. Cool if it all fits together

Well, and a few more chips that need to be shown.

Here is an example of one evening, I was preparing material for the article - I shot 300 dollars:

Total:

These transactions, except for the first in T&T $ T, were made 14th of April within one hour. It is obvious to me that scalping is the simplest and most active trading style.

• "Analysis of the hidden"

Rather a utopian strategy, but quite viable if you try. It is very similar to the analysis of the size, but here the problem is - you never know how much "he" has ... I prefer the next point.

• Trade "from hidden" and "from size"

Everything is clear here, especially with the "hidden" one. From size I take very rarely, only if it is in the order book according to the trend, and according to the current, daily and minute.

But scalp "From the hidden"- the topic is much more effective. The difficulty is only in finding a situation, even with the help of special programs.

• Trade in rebates

The one "Deceased" strategy. It exists only in the imagination of newly-minted demo scalpers, in the memory of the old guard, and also working very successfully within HFT strategies and technology.

Here is a video shot at the end of the strategy, at that moment I still managed to do this, but I didn't have much time left ...:

• Arbitration within a sector or industry

Actually, nothing more than one-legged, and very complex and unpredictable. There are a couple of examples in the article. However, for scalpers specializing in this - very even "Fish" a place. I did not become a specialist to search for an article, it is very difficult, and below I will show one example, in parallel related to another strategy.

It's much cooler to trade things like pairs - there's money there)

• Scalping guides

Much more important than any tapes and glasses when making a decision - guide... For scalper on American market stocks' true friend and ally is futures on. For a trader, for example - oil, gold and the same CIP. But at the moment a stock may have two or more guides, in particular, Nefte or gold mining companies have two of them, plus an industry leader who can easily start living his own life at some point.

• Scalping ETF

I will not hide the fact that I describe this strategy in the style of memoirs, because I have been doing this for a long time, but for a long time and successfully. By scalping SPY I can give a ton of advice, but they will not help you, most likely.

But I will write some very competent rules. To get started, check out the. And figure out what exactly it is SPY.

Set up your desktop to work with one tool, for example, as I have done:

It is important to understand what you will trade, how and when... Here I have - the glass is made so that it does not distract, because there is no point in looking at sizes or isienki, and even "Hidden" there is no special meaning to look for. It is important here - the tick chart (important for me, I don’t know for you), standard New High / Low, according to them I determine the inertia of the futures and, as a consequence, its direction at the moment.

It is extremely important to configure hotkeys for work. I have for scalping SPY there are only a dozen of them. In such a place, mouse trading looks ridiculous. Joystick, I can still understand, but with the mouse - thank you, although below I will show what is there and how with the mice.

Well, a year of practice will not hurt to learn to feel the asset at the level of intuition.

Scalping video SPY:

• Scalping RTS

Traded RTS not long, did not like it. But as a tool, it will be very interesting to many. Everything is there - an interesting chart, a long trading session, sizes and so on are still working, the formations are the same as elsewhere.

• Intuitive scalping

In fact, it is not a separate strategy, but it always has a place to be. I suppose, intuition, in this case, is just the ability to instantly extract from the entire database of experience what is most needed now in terms of making a decision to enter / exit a trade.

Develop this skill, it will come in handy and will save you more than once and will allow you to earn money.

• Filters and services for finding trading signals in scalping

One of the most important features of scalping is its applicability in any markets and in any situations, i.e. there are a lot of profitable situations for any asset and market. The only thing left is to find them.

Here, any whim for your money, as they say.

• Trade Ideas Filters

I myself only trade stocks and look for all the most interesting among stocks. For me, there are only three strategies -, and.

• Visual search for formations

Not everything can be assigned to a program. I still trust my eyes much more, and the sample is more accurate. But even for the eyes, a special service is needed that allows all the charts to be seen in front of your eyes at the same time. For this I have Finviz elite, very convenient and not expensive. It searches for all formations and eye-catching situations on the charts:

In addition to those listed above, there are dozens, and maybe hundreds of programs. The same ThinkOrSwim can do a lot of things, it remains only to adapt it for different tasks.

• Alerts, Alerts

Instead of text, here's a video with:

Scalping risk and money management

Of course, each trading style has its own characteristics of risk and money management. Scalping is just as simple in this, and scalper survival is determined by the number of transactions and high percentage profitable ones, which allows you to have a potential in the trade equal to the risk.

• Scalping capital

Suitable for a start $ 2,000 deposit... There is a chance to swing in half or halve. With proper observance of all skills, the first option is most likely. The company has a real account on $ 20,000 issues itself, there are no brokerage commissions on it, this greatly facilitates the procedure for getting a skill, because you can make a lot of transactions.

For those wishing to trade after and on the courses on their account - makes a strong reduction in commissions, up to $ 1.5 per 1,000 shares, instead of standard $ 5.5 per 1,000.

As you understand, there is no direct relationship between success in scalping and the size of the deposit.

• Choosing a scalping broker

Thirdly, having gained experience by swinging the position with 100 shares to more, learn to dial in the interval of a few cents and come out gradually, and not in the whole pack. This is a skill that will come with time.

• Time to trade

I trade myself from the first seconds of the market opening until:

• profit that suits me (a rare case, no profit will suit a person, we are greedy)
• stop loss, the first cut-off (the total is halved, the first half for the morning, the second for the afternoon)
• 12:00 NY if one of the first conditions is not met, then lunch at the market
• sometimes I stay until closing time, with 12:00 NY before 15:40 NY minding my own business, then the imbalances in 15:45 NY, but I don't trade them often

Scalping psychology

It is very difficult to give advice on psychology when you yourself are not perfect. In general, there are a number of things that have become a habit:

• three to five trades in a row are negative - cooling down, the brain bounces back later 10-15 minutes, otherwise tilt is not far away
• it turns out in the morning, made more than two stops profit - I ask the risk manager to put a support in a plus (Loss From Top)
• there is nothing in the morning, looking for something to do, because the worst thing is to find a trade where there is none
• don't drink coffee(periodically) and don't smoke, it damages the nervous system like hell
• if I’m dull in the morning, didn’t get enough sleep, and so on - I don’t trade, it makes no sense to trade every day, especially since it can be very unprofitable, adequacy is our everything
• I do not use other people's signals (I try not to do this), I can do it myself, someone else's opinion and someone else's attention to a certain stock bothers me, there are only exceptions for my fellow traders who come across sizes in the order book, that's all

Scalping training

Attentive readers will notice that advertising flashes in the text. :

I'll tell you what.

One way or another, you will still go somewhere to learn trading, if not with us, then you will go to others, which is not cool. ...

Forex scalping is the way to bankruptcy!

Greetings, dear readers of the Agudar project! Today I would like to talk about super short-term trading (Scalping in Forex), which does not bode well!

This article will cover the following issues.

1) What is scalping on FOREX and how does it differ from other trading methods?
2) Why are traders addicted to scalping?
3) Which FOREX brokers are suitable for scalping
4) Why is scalping a path to bankruptcy?

Scalping (pipsing)- this is over short-term trading, at which the target (profit) is a few points, and the deal is held for a short time (from a few seconds, to several minutes, sometimes a little longer).

Let's compare the behavior of Forex scalpers and traders of other trading styles.
Long-term traders usually trade on daily (or even weekly or monthly) time frames. Transactions can be held from several weeks to several years. It is not joke.

For example, one of richest people planets - W. Buffett reported that he has been holding deals, on average, for 5 years ...

Medium term traders hold trades from one day to a week.
Intraday traders (intraday traders) hold the deal, at most, until the end of the trading day.

Forex scalping involves a huge number of transactions, each of which brings insignificant profit. The total number of transactions can vary from several dozen to several hundred in one trading day.

Let's consider a FOREX scalping strategy based on breaking through support and resistance levels:

Pay attention to the acceleration of the price movement at the moment of the level breakout. Such situations are a great opportunity to take quick profits!

Separate FOREX indicators are not needed in scalping, I will explain why. By and large, scalping is not a trading style; it is a holding time for trades.

That is, you can use any indicators: moving averages, CCI, stochastics, support and resistance levels, Japanese candlesticks, etc.

Let me explain with an example.
Intraday trader opened 1 deal and earn 100 points.
The broker will take 2 for himself as a spread. The total is a net profit of 98 points.

The scalper opened 10 trades with a profit of 10 points each.
The broker will take 20 for himself as a spread (2 * 10 trades = 20). Net profit there will be 80 points.

It turns out that the scalper has less profit than the intraday trader due to the fact that he pays more commission!

By the way, I also use an agent scheme - I train people and ask to open a trading account using my referral link. But I teach medium-term and long-term methods trade. My income as an agent is minimal. But on the other hand, my conscience is clear, since mid-term trading leaves much more chances for success than scalping.

Which FOREX brokers are suitable for scalping
_________________________________________

Suitable are those who provide:
1) instant execution of transactions
2) low commissions (small spread)

All these criteria are met: Alpari, Roboforex or "Forex for you" and some others.
InstaForex is not suitable for scalping. Since they have a large spread.

I repeat - there are no best Forex scalping strategies! Any strategy applicable for intraday or medium-term trading can be used for scalping.
___________
Why is scalping the path to bankruptcy?
___________

Due to three main reasons:
1) High trading costs
2) High psychological stress (with manual trading)
3) Low predictability of price movements on small time frames

We have already talked about trading costs.
High psychological stress - everything is clear here too.
But the third point - the low predictability of prices on small time frames requires special consideration.

First, a household example:
In the sports competition "A" 3 people participate, and in the sports competition "B" 300. The question is, in which competition is it easier to predict the winner?
The answer is obvious - the fewer people there are, the more accurate the forecast.

Serious people and hedge funds trade on long time frames. Their actions lend themselves to at least some logic and prediction.

On small time frames, the number of participants is greater, therefore, predictability decreases.

On minute charts (where scalpers are trying to trade) - the most a large number of people + a huge number of Forex advisors. Trying to predict the behavior of this motley crowd is extremely difficult!

Thus, scalping in Forex is not a winning strategy, but a losing strategy!
I myself do not teach scalping and do not advise anyone to engage in this risky game. A name game - as scalping the market is more like a game with minimal chances of success than serious work!

I warned you, but what you will do, how you will do - you decide for yourself!

But there are nuances!

Good conservative scalping on RTS (or forts) is possible. This is possible thanks to instant execution transactions on the exchange. The scalping system on forts is not conventional systems. The point is only in the trading time interval.

Good luck and successful trades. Arthur.

What is Day Trading and Forex Scalping Indicators? What are the best selling scalping EAs? What are the features of Forex scalping strategy trading?

Good day, dear readers of the HeatherBober business magazine! In touch, Alexey Morozov - an expert on trade on financial markets... Imagine that you bought 1000 dollars at 34 rubles and sold six months later at 70 rubles. How much did you earn? 36 000 rubles .

The dollar didn't go up all the time he grew up and down every day... For example, first 40 rubles, after an hour - 42, then again 40 and again 42. If you enter the deal correctly twice, then you earn 4000 rubles . In 5 working days it is recruited 20 000 , per month - 80 000 , For half a year - 480 000 .

It turns out that if you trade every day, and not just open up and sit back, you will get 14 times more. Beneficial, isn't it? Or are the risks too high? We will talk about this with you in today's article dedicated to scalping in the financial market.

1. What is scalping and how it differs from other trading styles

All trading strategies are divided into three groups in terms of duration: long-term, mid-term and short term.

The latter fall into two subtypes: day trading and scalping.

Daytrading(day trading) is a trading style in which trades are opened and closed throughout the day.

Prices are constantly on the move if you catch the necessary fluctuations, you will earn a decent amount in a couple of minutes... Therefore, advertising on the Internet about quick and big profits is not always a hoax.

Example

I bought one hundred thousand dollars for 40 rubles, after two hours the rate rose to 41 rubles. I close the deal and get 100,000 rubles net profit.

Day traders conduct technical analysis of charts on timeframes " 1 hour" and " 4 hours". Prices do not move very intensively, so this trading style cannot be called stressful.

Since most speculators play on the stock exchange intraday, it is not so difficult to predict the dynamics of price fluctuations.

- this is also intraday trading, but scalpers catch the smallest price jumps on 1-minute and 5-minute charts.

Let's talk about the benefits of scalping below, while we note one thing: if you enter into transactions in large volumes, the profits will be simply fantastic.

Example

I have 1,000,000 dollars in my account. Opening for a rise. In 10 minutes, the dollar rose by 10 kopecks. Closing the deal. Profit: 100,000 rubles .

I open a new short trade. In 15 minutes, the currency returns to the previous price, I earned more 100,000 rubles... Total - RUB 200,000 in 25 minutes.

Once we have noted the plus, let's talk about the minus as well. I opened for an increase, the market went against me in the first case, and in the second - I lost 200,000 dollars ... In 25 minutes.

Yes, I have a rather large amount on my balance sheet. But if you start to draw in my head everything that I could buy for 200,000 rubles, then no matter how nerves pass.

On minute timeframes, prices move abruptly, in leaps and bounds, jumping from one value to another. You look at your open deal, it is a plus, then a minus - your heart is pounding oh-oh how.

The shorter the time interval, the more on the chart market noise ... Performing technical analysis in the scalping process is problematic. Candlestick patterns, horizontal and trend levels do not work - only indicators remain.

2) Alfa-Forex

In terms of training - yes base well, webinars are held regularly and are available on record. With Amarkets, you are guaranteed to take a successful start in trading in general, not only in scalping.

Alfa-Forex has been providing brokerage services for over 13 years, so the level of traders' trust in the company is serious. Here predominantly traded currency pairs however there are commodity market instruments and forwards.

As such, I did not find a basic training course, but there are webinars on different branches of trading.

The trading conditions are not bad - the spreads are narrow, the leverage up to 1: 100 is not as big as in Amarkets, but, believe me, there is no need for a huge risk, so even this ratio is quite enough.

The minimum lot when trading in the MetaTrader5 terminal is 0.01 , in MetaTrader4 - 0.1 ... The broker thus encourages novice traders with small deposits to master MT5.

I personally like the fourth version of the terminal more, so I think this volume limitation is a minus.

3) NPBFX

Interesting brokerage firm. Has been working since 1996 - a veteran. Currency pairs prevail among instruments. Leverage- 1: 500 - a paradise for aggressive traders. High-quality support service, good analytics.

I often receive email invitations to Forex trading webinars. I rarely respond, because almost everything is in the recording - NPBFX has its own channel onYoutube.

Judging by the reviews, many of the company's traders like the ZuluTrade portal, where they provide trading signals in real time... Here is a video about registering on the portal, take a look.

5. What are the risks of scalping - 3 main risks

Scalpers are the richest class among traders... However, becoming a pro in this style of trading is not easy. Let's list the main risks inevitable when scalping.

Trading is generally risky, but trading on small timeframes is especially so.

Risk 1.

We open a trade and close it as soon as it appears small profit... However, nothing prevents the market from going against us. In order not to completely drain the deposit, scalpers set Stop Loss.

The profit for each trade is tiny, because speculators "scalp", but Stop Loss cannot be called tiny, because otherwise there would be no point in setting them at all.

Scanty profits and big risks- what do they lead to? We traded all day, collected a string from the world, and the last deal was closed by Stop - money as if it had happened.

The scalpers profitability graph is a broken line, and the chart of day traders or mid-term / long-term traders is a relatively flat line.

For such a trade, it is worth stocking up on nerves of steel.

If you are ready to overcome ups and downs - the flag is in your hands. But think about your mental state- can you stand it?
