How many scalpers do you actually know that are profitable? Especially long term? I am willing to bet perhaps there are maybe 0.1% or so of all the traders that can scalp profitably in the long term. Most traders are swing and position traders. Basically holding positions for hours to weeks.
Scalping making half a percent here half a percent there seems great since you got like 100x leverage. So even if you bank 1% per day with 100x leverage that is like doubling your account everyday. Great in theory however almost impossible in practice.
Scalpers could really make money in shortest time as possible since they dont really care on what the trend of the market would be which it is really normal but just like been said that it wont really be for everybody because this is the hardest type of trading if you do ask me basing with real experience.
If you do know on how to play with the movement then i dont see anything wrong with scalping but be sure you do know the risk involved which is really a hit higher compared when you do
make those casual trading styles.
Just test it out if you could really able to bare out the risk if not then dont dive in.
