Scalping: A Professional's Perspective

Scalping is a highly disciplined and demanding trading strategy used by many professional traders to profit from short-term price movements. Its essence lies in making numerous trades throughout the day, holding each position for a few seconds to a few minutes. A key aspect for professionals is the microstructure of the market and order flows. We do not just look at charts; we analyze who is buying and who is selling, and with what strength.

A professional scalper uses advanced tools such as price ladders (Level II Data), time and sales (Time & Sales), and volume profiles to identify imbalances in supply and demand. Every tick matters. Success depends on instant reactions to market changes, honed tape reading skills, and the ability to control emotions. This is not for everyone; it requires strict risk management, minimal slippage, and a thorough understanding of the instrument's liquidity.
