Risk management is the backbone of successful scalping due to the size and frequency of trades.

Extremely Tight Stop-Loss: A clear exit point must be established to minimize loss on each trade. Failure to adhere to the stop-loss can lead to catastrophic losses.

Small Position Sizing: The risk per trade should be very small (less than 1% of capital).

Risk-to-Reward Ratio: This ratio is often less than 1:1 in scalping (for example, risking 5 points to gain 3 points), but the high number of winning trades compensates for that.

Strict Discipline: Absolute adherence to the strategy and risk management rules.

Fee Control: Trading fees can quickly eat into profits, so look for brokers with very low fees or a suitable "market maker" model.
