When I came to trade in the forex market, I used scalping on a cent account. It turned out to take several points several times a day. In terms of time, it takes a little, but unfortunately, the same is not enough for the money earned. For a beginner, scalping is suitable for the first time, but then you need to move away from it.

The scalping strategy is for the traders who have been in the market for years and can handle the risk involved in it. If you decide to trade using the scalping strategy, you will have to execute a large number of trades in a day. You will also have to use an EA to keep up with the everyday competition. If you are ready for this, you can use the scalping strategy. If this seems tough, I suggest not using it until you can analyse the market faster.

Scalping is a trading style where you hold positions very short-term. The strategy's goal is to earn a small profit by taking as many trades as possible. The method requires a trader to take small profits at very close intervals, which is carried out by using leverage and open multiple trades in multiple pairs at the same time. In any case, this kind of trading is based on the fast movement of prices. You can only trade with the trend and when the market is trending, you just need to stay with it.
