Hello, A decade ago I make good money scalping, that got harder and harder, and gradually I increased the time frame and used more TA, but still I generally do not hold for long. This style is getting more difficult too, and I believe its because of the HFT engines. Good traders adapt, and now I am exploring swing trading. Iâm wondering if other traders on this forum have found themselves in the same predicament.
very logical analysis.. Yes i think HFTers are eating any scalpable volume. Good luck with swing... I will stay scalping for a while ,,,obsolete mind..
HFT makes up 56% of equity trading volume and 1/3rd of the futures volume. I would wholeheartedly say that it actually MAGNIFIES the intra-day movements and trend(s), which facilitates scalping.
wrong , as usual. huge ops scalping, but it requires profound knowledge and fast reflexes. the more I hear folks giving up scalping...... seriously , how can you look at 10 random charts and say it cant be scalped? you mean scalped with zero risk and an IQ of 86?. No , thats not possible, which eliminates 98% right there.
