๐ What Is a Scalping Strategy in Trading?
Scalping is a short-term trading strategy where traders aim to make small but frequent profits by entering and exiting trades within minutes or even seconds. #ScalpingStrategy
โ Key Features of Scalping:
โฑ๏ธ Super short timeframes: 1-minute, 3-minute, or 5-minute charts
๐ฐ Small profits per trade: Often just 0.1% โ 1%
๐ High trade frequency: Dozens (or hundreds) of trades per day
โก Fast decision-making: Based on price action, volume, and indicators.
๐ง No emotional attachment: Scalpers donโt hold overnight.
๐ง How It Works:
Find a setup using indicators like:
Moving Averages (MA)
RSI (Relative Strength Index)
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
Support & resistance zones
Enter quickly when conditions are right
Exit fast โ once a small profit is made (or if the trade turns against you)
Repeat again and again
๐ Example:
You're scalping BTC/USDT on the 1-minute chart.
You spot a bounce from support, enter at $63,000, and sell at $63,100.
โ Small gain, but repeat it 10โ20 times = serious profits.
โ ๏ธ Risks of Scalping:
High fees (especially on spot without fee discounts)
Emotionally and mentally tiring
Requires fast internet and good execution
Not ideal for beginners or slow decision-makers
โ Best For:
Fast thinkers
Disciplined traders
People who can watch the screen for long periods.
