    I think the best way to refine your scalping skills is to practice with a demo account & put your trading strategy to the test under different conditions.

    TZA, twm looks more risky for swingtraders than daytraders; even though its a buy on weekly don channels, buy daily don channels. Almost got in, but seasonals tend to be strong in 4th quarter; + i have a 3% loss currently on 3x inverse tech etf.
    Tech ETFsx3 longs looking good:caution::caution::caution:; gap risk on longs tends to be profitable in an uptrending bullmarket
    Sorry they reverse split TECSx10.:D:D:D:D:D,:caution::caution::caution::caution::caution: Average 50 dma volume slammed down into 300k\a day\more or less

    TRUE, but that's 2 different subjects.[ I would not assume all comments are related to 4x/ or 3X, mine arent.]
    Its also a different time frame from swing /position trading so its a diversification in time= risk reducer generally speaking]BUT like Cash Coyne of Bright Daytrading warned, ''leverage is a 2 edged sword'':caution::caution:

    I think learning to scalp been toughest challenge to overcome for me. Although I have gone to automation and currently manually trading now as I tweak new concept for scalping, learning all the new relations is most challenging. I use to trade 200-300 times a day in ES, thank goodness for computers.

    What's funny, under funded, little knowledgeable people come to scalping/day trading for pipe dreams, what am I thinking, need them to lose often.

  8. Yes, that’s right. Though scalping is more difficult than other strategies, practicing will help you get better at it. If you think demo accounts are not that helpful, you can use a small amount to trade and test.

    No doubt scalping is a risky strategy but with proper knowledge and continuous practice, you will learn to ace this trading style.
