A trader buys stocks, thinking they got a good deal, and hopes the price goes up to earn money. They rely on the market and often use a stop-loss to limit losses if prices drop, showing they’re unsure.
A scalper, however, buys carefully, happy when prices fall more so they can buy cheaper. They don’t worry about losses but plan to avoid them. Scalpers buy smartly, ready to buy again and again, while also watching for chances to profit or protect their trades. Traders hope to win, scalpers plan to win with smart, repeated buys.
