what the hell is scalping

Scalping defined most elegantly:

The way of trading requiring most in terms of speed of connection/computer as well as lowest commissions and promising the least in terms of profit potential on a relative scale.

 

Great opportunities for scalping here this afternoon - - - while leaning on the S&P as a bogey.

At the END OF THE DAY, it's ALL ABOUT MAKING $$$.

Screw the definitions.
It's a waste of time.

 

Well, you could resort to smoke and mirrors, aka Iceberg Orders .

That way, it's possible that they don't see you coming.

 

Yes.

Markets are NOT fractal

Scalping is a losing proposition, touted as a winning proposition by brokers so you generate boatloads of commissions.

 

So how is it I'm positive, with a steadily upward sloping equity curve, over the course of more than 50,000 trades, with almost 200k in comms paid by me?

 

Them that can, do. Them that can't, say it can't be done (or teach).

 

Oh paleeeeeeze! Don't confuse me with the facts!
