Scalping — definition & meaning

A style of taking many tiny, very short-term trades for small gains.

Scalping is a fast trading style that takes many small trades, holding each for seconds to minutes to capture tiny price moves.

It demands sharp focus, low costs and tight spreads, because commissions and spread eat heavily into small profits. It is intense and unforgiving, and not a gentle way to start.
