Scalping is Risky?

There is no denying that scalping is a highly profitable strategy but I use it to supplement my other strategies because of the risks involved with scalping. I am quite afraid of the high leverage requirements of scalping. Sometimes, the small profit gains don’t even touch my overall trading goals because of too many negative trades.

 

Usually, scalping trading is based on technical analysis, but traders also of them pay attention to fundamental news like in economic calendar because impact news can make fail scalping due to highly volatile market make pressure. when working scalping good to keep control of minds and be patient.

You should be ready to sit in front of your computer for long hours and concentrate on small price movements to make money. You have to be the kind of person who can react immediately to the price movements without having to analyse every move.
