⚠️ Can Scalping Lead to Overtrading?
(Beginners Edition!)
---
Short answer: YES. Absolutely.
Scalping means lots of fast trades for small profits. But here’s the danger:
> “One more trade… just one more…”
This mindset often spirals into overtrading.

🤯 Why Scalping Can Turn Into Overtrading
✅ High speed → easy to lose track of how many trades you’ve done
✅ Chasing losses → “I’ll win it back on the next scalp!”
✅ Market boredom → trading for the thrill, not the plan
✅ Tiny profits → feeling like you must trade more to make real money
---
🚫 Overtrading Hurts Because:
Fees start eating your gains
Emotions take over logic
You’re glued to screens all day
Small losses pile up into big ones
---
🎯 Beginner’s Tip:
> Set daily limits.
✅ Max number of scalps per day
✅ Max loss limit
✅ Walk away once target is hit
Scalping can be powerful — if you stay disciplined.
---
> Scalping doesn’t mean trading nonstop. It means trading smart.
