After 3 years of trading with different styles and on different timeframes, I am convinced that it is best to start with scalping.
Scalping is a type of intraday trading where the trader identifies and exploits market inefficiencies. For this, they use special programs and resources: scalping drives (trading terminals), screeners, etc.
3 main arguments in favor of scalping:
1. Fast learning. A scalper makes 5-10, and sometimes even 100+ trades a day. This allows for quickly gathering statistics, gaining experience, and improving their trading system. With the right approach, one can achieve stable positive trading within a year or even faster.
2. Quick deposit growth. Scalpers open trades with very short stops (my average stop is about 0.3%), so they can use high leverage. This allows them to quickly grow their deposit in an active market without exceeding risks.
3. Very cool scalping communities. The most friendly communities in crypto trading are currently among scalpers (I am a member of CryptoSquad). In a great team of traders, the development process goes much faster. They will always help and advise you, rather than trying to sell you courses, tokens, or private chats.
It is important to say that scalping has its downsides. Firstly, it requires a lot of time – in the first year, you will have to sit at the computer for 10-12 hours a day. Secondly (this is the biggest downside), scalpers experience immense mental strain. Therefore, if you are prone to depression, aggression, or are simply a very sensitive person – scalping is definitely not for you.
Friends, if you have questions about scalping, I will be happy to answer in the comments.
