2011-Dec-6 - Scalping in Forex trading
Scalping is among the techniques employed by experienced forex traders. It involves making a short term trade or a quick opening and ending of position to earn some few pips employing high leverage. The scalper is going to maintain his/her position for as short as one minute and after which it is liquidated although, short positions are allowed to stay for 3 to 5 minutes. This strategy is considered safe because of the liquidity of the market thus it is popular among traders. However, it does not suit every forex trader. Traders who do not wish to stay in positions with greater opportunity to gain are good scalpers. Scalpers are satisfied with a few earnings which come frequently. They tend to forego positions where they may earn bigger profit. In other words, they do not like to risk and prefer to go to a direction that is safer. They believe that they may earn huge in scalping just like those traders seeking to make it big. This is because when all the small pips generated from each position they initiated are combined, the result is huge profit just the same. Scalpers are patient traders since they can wait for their profit to grow over time. They are the type of traders who do not rush to earn great gain in just a short period. They are satisfied with few pips in every trade and could wait for it to accumulate in time. Traders who have the impulse to earn large profit instantly cannot employ scalping since they might end up frustrated with just a small profit in each position. They are better with positions earning higher gain but accompanied with greater risks. Although, scalping seems easy to use, it entails attentiveness. The scalper should be attentive to all the positions he/she initiated because it could be disadvantageous to be neglecting the others while attending to some. Concentration is needed to become successful in this technique so that the scalper should have more practice if not more exposure to scalping to gain better experience. You do not need to be of high IQ before you can become a good scalper, only determination to learn the tactic is needed. Traders who consider trading as an additional source of income view scalping as time consuming. Scalping is not for part time traders since the six hours spent daily for practice is already demanding to them. With this problem, traders who still wish to use scalping are given the option to use automated scalping technique which is worthy.
