Scalping

Also called: scalp, scalper

A trading style aimed at small profits (1–10 pips) per trade, held seconds to minutes, with high trade frequency.

Scalping demands tight spreads, low commission, fast execution, and a strong stomach. Edge usually comes from execution quality (slippage, latency) and a very high win rate at low R:R.

Many market-maker brokers prohibit scalping or impose minimum trade durations. Always check broker terms.
