Scalping

With the little knowledge I have, I have seen a lot of people scalping and making it than those that does a full trading(hours, days) but they tend to lose  so easily can we say it greediness or it's not advisable generally

Just like on what been said on earlier response or replies is that scalping could be considered full trading and on the time that you do able to get or hit that target on a specific day then you would really be calling it

a day and would go for another one for tomorrow. Day trading are to those who do make trades which opens and closes up their trades on a specific day and same goes with those swing traders
which they are really that going for several days or weeks for such closure. It would really vary on which trading type would really be suiting out on your risk tolerance because not all would really be that doing
daytrades could make out scalping which this do indicate about 1m-5m timeframe i should say on trying out to snip those possible gains in short time period.

I could say that this is the most hardest type of trading on which dealing up with volatility and its something that wont really be that recommended for beginners.Even to those veteran
ones wont really be touching out this are because dealing with extreme volatility is never been that so easy.

SCALPING meaning to say they only trade minutes and the profit is also fast but it is very risky because the movement of the candle sticks is also fast in the lower time frame

[adaseb]

Scalping just means you take more trades with a shorter time frame. For example you might stay in the trade for a few minutes instead of a few hours or days.

Usually these are high leverage trades and you take them multiple times a day and you make large amounts of money on small moves in price.

In reality this is extremely difficult to do profitably and most people fail.

Scalping is also a full trading, there is nothing called non full trading. Trading is trading.

I think Op is trying to say that scalping is not a full time trading. Well, there's a full time trader and there's a part time traders. It's up to you if which of the two wanted to be no matter  what kind of trader you are but I just want to let you know that if you want to be a full time trader make sure that you're already profitable. Because if you're just new and still finding an edge, then you have to trade only part time. This is what I have learn with one of my batch, he sacrifices his job for trading because he thinks that trading can sustain his daily needs.

Scalping is the most riskiest type of trading since you only use lower time frame (1m, 3m, or 5m) for entry. You only have a couple of minutes to close the trade. So we have to be strick and stick to our plan, only trade if you see a setup in the chart, don't overtrade.

Thank you  you understood  me clearly. I once traded as a scalper looking for spikes  market   but I ended up losing it all even I made a lot from it

You're welcome. A lot of traders who win on their first couple of trades but after a week or a month their funds were gone. In my opinion, there are several possible reasons why their funds were gone so fast, one of that is because of emotional trading and no risk management. If you trade having unstable emotions, the probability of winning the trade decreases. It include revenge trading, and greed, to avoid these you have to be disciplined and have patience. Unstable emotions cause by consistent loses are also the reason why trader won't follow their risk management because they want to get the money back from all the losing trades in one trade. This is also what you have to consider when you trade.

A scalper should be an experience trader, I won't advice a newbie to embark on scalp trading because of the high volatility of the price and trading with 1 minutes or 30 seconds timeframe, this also involves access to a very fast internet connection and fast execution rate that means the scalper must trade with an exchange or broker that posses those features and qualities else such a trader is bound to incur losses if the execution rate of triggering a Long or Short trade is very slow, I am also trader but my maximum trading timeframe is 4 hours chart, so please don't be carried away by the success of few scalpers who posted their massive profits online they must gotten a lot experience after plenty years of studying and analyzing charts.

For me, there's no wrong with being a scalper. Because I believe that's their way of trade and there's nothing wrong, I can see a lot of people that are profitable when they do scalp trading.
But what I want to say is always think: "Not all the time, it's good to trade". There are also a lot of pairs you will try to look at and monitor if you are scalping.
So for me, scalp trading is just day trading, you either win or lose.

[AicecreaME]

I can't deny the fact that scalping is so risky, but it's the easiest way to earn profits and of course losing your funds as well.

Scalpers use a very small time frame every single trade, they need to decide quickly or else they are gonna get liquidated easily or make profits. Also, they are happy on the profits they are making every single trade whether it's small or big. Scalping is not for the people who have fainted heart and those who easily lose control whenever they are mad or frustrated.

Scalping  lose more in my opinion

All is relative and subjective. It differs from the strategy to have your result. The market is there for everyone to use the strategy they can to milk out their own profit. If your strategy gives you more profit and when you try to change you start getting losses, it is better to stick to what you are doing correctly. So both scalping and relying on heavy leverage depends on the trader but what I know is a strategy that is working doesn't require to be changed and that strategy you lose all the time the best thing to do is to drop it for another strategy.

. Unstable emotions cause by consistent loses are also the reason why trader won't follow their risk management because they want to get the money back from all the losing trades in one trade. This is also what you have to consider when you trade.

Exactly I think this explained it all I was desperate to get back the little loss I got within a short period of time which made me lose more than I expect

The general rules of trading will apply to many types of trading in the same way, you must manage risks, and manage funds wisely, but besides this, scalping is one of the most difficult types of trading because you need to constantly monitor the market, selected pairs, which is very tiring. This can have a very large impact, as fatigue will lead to errors and it will also increase the likelihood of errors in risk management.

You will not enjoy trading at this time, at least not in a bear market that everything is just somehow. You can only enjoy scalping if we have a trend like when we had bitcoin price moving upward direction in bull market, you can scalp and make plenty of profits but now, it's more difficult to scalp than to do normal trading because you will open a trade expecting good move only to wake up that the market is messed up, you wouldn't know where to even start, like the last one when SpaceX was rumors to have sold their bitcoin and ever since then, bitcoin is can't hold $30k, it has been dumping and more dump or maybe it's just another manipulation, that I'm not sure but scalping now.

Why not try normal trading, gain the knowledge of full time trading and run the both, they will help you out when you need them the most both in bear and bull market.

If you cant handle the loss please i will beg you not to scalp and also if you most scalp u most be ready to be fast in entering a trade at the early stage and also getting out of it early too. but with the day trading u dont have to panic with all of these things i just say as far as your confluence and confirmation are present to you.

Besides, trading using alts can also cause stress. Despite the fact that we are aware of Bitcoin's supremacy, we may expect alts to follow suit. The issue is that not all coins have the same volatility, which has a significant impact on how we trade. That's why we have to screen each coin before trading, which can be stressful because if we don't do this and assume they're all the same, you'll probably lose trades, leading you to believe your strategy isn't working. So it is preferable to focus on and master one pair before moving on to other pair.

Full time trading is when you're completely dependant on your trades to earn a living, to put food on your table. It doesn't matter if you do that by scalping or by day trading or swinging. There are pro-traders who earn by just scalping the market and there are those who place trades and forget them for days to hit TP. Choosing any of the methods will depend on the trader's temperament. It's not just always being before a screen or pressing mobile phones that makes one a trader. It's the ability to make profit from it more than incurring losses.

[Unbunplease]

Back in the day, I used to do some scalping. It is quite a good strategy, but it requires a lot of time and attention. You can make a lot of money during the day, but lose everything because of one bad decision. That is why you need to be able to stop in time. Good luck.

Scalpers are sometimes impatient people, people who know that they will not be able to wait long hours monitoring their trade, so they decide to engage in short trades to make profit quickly. Not all scalpers loose their profit to greed. A scalper who is greedy will also take that greed to trading long if they decide to stop scalping, while a trader who scalps and not greedy, will also not be greedy if they decide to start trading long. Greed is an inbuilt nature, it does not matter if you are a scalper or a long trader, greed is bad and is a characteristic that needs to be controlled because it can lead to loses.

When you hear the term scalping, there are two things that must come to your mind quickly and briefly. In general, the trading frequency of a scalper is much faster than other traders, usually a scalper takes only 1-2 percent profit and often the risk is greater than the profit target. An understanding of the concept of a trend is not so important for scalpers because they only target price movements in a very short time so they don't have to consider the direction of the trend down or up.

Of course, the sclapping technique has its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, in my opinion, for beginners, never try the secalping technique. apart from being haunted by a very strong sense of anxiety, our concentration can also be disturbed, what is actually a loss, a loss, a loss, and a loss.

Who tends to lose easily? The ones with leverage or the ones with scalping?

I have replied to this question earlier I don't know if you are the one that asked earlier  I was simply trying to say scalpers loose  a lot compared to the those that  embrace leveraging. I rhino it obvious from the majority of the replies I'm getting here ,don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be rude here
