What's a Scalper?
As a Scalper, you love a fast-paced approach to forex trading. You seek to profit from short-term price swings.
More often than not, a Scalper will have strict entry, exit and risk management parameters, which are carefully calibrated to ensure that winning trades will always outweigh losing ones over time.
Scalpers trade in a world of rapid-fire frequency and require strict emotional discipline to execute their approach, meaning it can be particularly risky, but can also reap substantial rewards.
