Forex Scalping

1-This article is all about forex scalping for beginners and a key fact you need to learn, if you are thinking of incorporating it in your forex trading strategy - If you don't understand this fact, you are 100% guaranteed to lose, so here it is...

Forex scalping is based on dumb logic and doesn't work. Before we look at why, lets dispel the myth that vendors selling scalping systems make money - they don't. You will always see this with any track record - read it carefully:

"CFTC RULE 4.41 - Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown".
Personally I think the above should be banned and vendors should NOT be able to present track records that are not real, as they are totally meaningless.

Let's face it who couldn't make money knowing the closing prices?

My little Niece could beat George Soros (and she's only 9) if she knows the closing prices! The problem is we can all be multi millionaires quickly with this info - but trading forex is a little harder, we have to trade not knowing the prices in advance.
Check any forex scalping track record you like and you will see the above or a similar disclaimer. I did see one that printed the vendor's bank statements as proof the system made money but that profit was probably from selling systems not trading!

Of course there were no supporting broker statements.

So why is forex scalping destined to lose?

Think about how prices are determined:

Millions of traders all with different systems, motivations etc all as a mass group decide the price and you CANNOT Predict what this group will do in a matter of hours.

All short term volatility is random in nature, you cannot use short term levels of support and resistance, so you cannot get the odds in your favor and you therefore cannot win at forex scalping and that's a fact.

Forex scalping and day trading is an area where you won't make money, so don't bother trying. If you must trade short term use forex swing trading - its still short term but you can get the odds in your favor and that's what you need to win at forex trading.
Today there are many vendors who simply lie about the profit potential of forex scalping and hope the naïve or greedy trader falls for it - make sure you don't.

Forex scalping always reminds me of the old burger king ad where they claimed to have more beef in their burgers than McDonald's and in the ad the man picked the burger up and said:

"Where's the beef?"

In forex scalping terms translated means:

Where is the real audited track record?

To be fair it's not a fair comparison.

There was of course beef in the McDonalds burger - but you won't find any profits in the track record of a scalper, just a made up track record done without trading!
So our lesson is in terms of forex scalping for beginners - forget it, try a different way of making money in forex and if you want to trade short term - try swing trading

ForexGen | What ist Forex Scalping?

The forex market is the most liquid of today’s exchange, trading in excess of 1.6 trillion dollars daily. This is roughly greater than 5 times the daily trading volume of the U.S. Treasury Bond Market, and 160 times the average daily volume of the U.S. Stock Market. This extreme liquidity gives forex traders an edge in the art of lightning fast execution and the quick trade method referred to as “scalping”.

Forex scalping is the art of using high leverage and a large number of short term trades to steadily increase an account. Usually, only 1 to 5 pips are targeted for each trade. This type of trading appeals greatly to day traders and those looking to minimize the risk involved in trading currencies. Next to money management, “risk control” is the single most important trait to a surviving (and thriving) currency trader. The small amount of time that is spent in the market limits much of the risk in exposure in comparison to a longer term system. Also, the freedom involved in a speedy forex scalping system in such a liquid market is a “magnet” that drives many traders from other markets to try their hand in currency. A disciplined and steady scalper could seamlessly double or triple an account, and spend only a fraction of the time in the market as a common day trader.

Though forex scalping may seem like a preverbal “holy grail” at first glance, there are still many unseen hurdles that surround the controversial method of trading. If you do wish to add scalping to your trading toolbox, it is extremely important to pick a broker who can support a scalpers’ system. You will quickly find that many brokers do not allow scalp trading, as the method of quickly entering and exiting trades may actually cause the broker to lose money at the dealing desk. Forex scalping also does not give the broker a means to trade against their clients. Out of the hundreds of online forex brokers, only a handful support (and sometimes encourage) scalping.

Effective forex scalping strategies take advantage of extremely slight price fluctuations (sometimes only 1-3 pips) many times in order to steadily build an account. Because of the smaller number of pips gained per trade, larger than normal leverages play a key role in a successful forex scalping strategy. By leveraging much more than a standard day trader in a liquid environment, a very skilled scalp trader is able to make just as much money as the day trader in a shorter period of time. However, this is an obvious double-edged sword. The market can just as easily move against you on a high leverage, which could produce substantial blows to your account.

Also, it is important to take into consideration the physical and mental speed of a trader who will only stay in the market for seconds to minutes. Executing a scalping strategy by hand can be extremely difficult considering the quick amount of time you must be in and out of the market for your strategy to be affective Many successful forex scalping strategies are built to be automated; the rules to the system are coded into a trading platform to automatically perform scalp trades around the clock. Though it is completely possible to trade a forex scalping strategy manually, the majority of today’s traders would agree that automating the process based on a set of rules would be the best way to ensure speed and reliability. When choosing a platform to automate your scalp strategy, it is extremely important to stick with those platforms that allow the execution of your system on every tick (such as MetaTrader 4). This ensures that your entrances and exits will be on a per-tick basis, and will give you a much higher probable rate of success than those platforms who will execute your code more periodically.
