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.

Scalping Strategy | ForexGen

There are a number of options that any investor has when trying to decide where to invest his/her money. Forex (i.e. the foreign exchange market) is one of these choices. Just as millions of travelers do every year when they go abroad, Forex traders are merely exchanging one form of currency for another. But as most people already know, one dollar of U.S. currency is not equal to one Euro - there is always a conversion rate involved in any exchange between currencies.

Just as with stock prices, the exchange rate between currencies is constantly changing and reacting to market conditions. One Euro might be worth 1.300 USD today, but only 1.2518 USD the following day. When dealing with currency exchanges, the two currencies being traded are known as the currency pair. The base currency is the first in the currency pair and it is used when the account is set up (USD/Euro). So, if an investor was looking at the exchange rate of 1.312 USD when looking at the base pair of the Dollar/Euro - this means that it takes 1.312 USD to buy one Euro and that the dollar was used to set up this transaction.

Forex traders are always trying to anticipate the movement of exchange rates and capitalize upon those predictions. As with stocks, Forex investors can profit whenever they correctly predict moves in the exchange rates - whether they move up or down. Scalping is one of several strategies that have evolved in Forex trading.

At its simplest, scalping involves short-term movements in the exchange rates. In other words, Forex traders who use the forex scalping strategy are not in it for the long haul - in fact, this strategy may only involve investments that last a few hours - or even minutes. Scalpers pay very special attention to market indicators that specifically affect Forex rates.

Exchange rates tend to fluctuate based upon economic and political news events - on both the national and international levels. There are several key indicators that scalpers (or any Forex trader) pay special attention to before investing and many of them involve government statistics, including the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rate, unemployment figures, trade balance reports, inflation, and interest rate announcements.

The reason that most currency markets rely so heavily upon government statistics is because they are both accurate and reliable indicators of economic strength or weakness. The statistics are compiled and analyzed using very complex formulas that are nearly impossible to manipulate. These government figures are both transparent and generally available to everyone at the same time - so there is a general sense that the currency market is an even playing field for both large and small investors. These statistics are generally released around the same time every month (with the exception of figures that are released quarterly, like the GDP) and distributed by all the major players, such as Reuters, Bloomberg, CNBC, etc.

Beware of Curve Fitting or Lose!

Forex scalping systems are more popular than ever and they all come with great track records, which have unbelievable gains and their very tempting for novice traders but what they need to be aware of is - curve fitting which ensures that most scalping systems lose money.

Curve fitting is when a vendor bends his system to fit the data.

When the vendor can't get the system to work, he keeps adding more rules and parameters in until it does, by bending the system to fit the data or curve fitting. He then has a track record he is satisfied with or more to the point gives him a great track record he can sell.

What happens next?

No two periods of data are going to exactly replicate themselves and the system simply collapses and loses in real time trading.

LOOK FOR THIS DISCLAIMER!

The buyer scratches his head and wonders why - but if he looked for this on the track record he can find out if its curve fitted. Look for the disclaimer below (or similar) on any system you buy - this is standard CFTC one.

"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".

If you are looking at buying a forex scalping system from a vendor, beware there all curve fitted.

You will NEVER find one with a real time track record, as forex scalping simply doesn't work by the very nature of the logic its based upon.

The time period is simply to short.

All volatility in daily or hourly time frames is random - support and resistance is meaningless and prices can and do go anywhere in a day. It's impossible to get the odds in your favor and forex day traders always lose long term.

Of course it makes a good story and naïve and greedy traders buy it and vendors know this.

They simply tell the story add a simulated track record and appeal to their greed - it's a big industry.

If you want to trade forget forex, forget scalping systems or day trading and trade longer time periods, where you can get the odds in your favor.

Leave forex scalping systems to the dreamers and greedy traders, get the right forex education and enjoy currency trading success by using longer time frames and valid data.

Forex Scalping – Day Trading your Way to a Regular Income

There are many day traders who go in for FOREX scalping trading several times a day and trying to get out with small profits which will add up over time.

This form of hit and run trading is more popular than ever.

Let’s look at how it works.

Well firstly, it doesn’t work at all and will doom your trading to failure – Any trader who day trades or tries to scalp profits loses – PERIOD.

Here we will explain why.

Data is meaningless.

If you are studying charts you need to get the odds in your favour.

This is of course not possible in day trading as all volatility is random and prices can and do go anywhere.

This is obvious when you have millions of people trading trillions of dollars daily.

If you don’t have data that can help you get the odds in your favour then it is pointless applying any technical indicator.

Moving averages, support and resistance and pivot points which are useful tools for longer term trading simply don’t work in day trading.

There only good tools if you feed them with the right data! And day trading doesn’t do that.

Scalping the market is doomed to failure and it’s made even worse by the fact it ignores the fundamental rule of investing:

Run your profits to cover your inevitable losses.

You are going to have losses even the top traders have them, but you must keep them small and day trading or scalping FOREX markets does this and it of course has a lot of them!

FOREX scalping by its very nature doesn’t run profits.

So what do you end up with?

A lot of small profits ( and when your lucky enough to have a winner and it is down to luck) then you get a minor profits which can NEVER cover your losses.

FOREX scalping end up not with the trader scalping regular profits but the trader getting scalped for his entire equity.

FOREX scalping is illogical, based on meaningless data and doomed to failure.

If you want to trade avoid day trading unless of course you want to lose all your equity quickly.

Forex Scalping Systems - Why you Will Lose All your Money Quickly

Wherever you look on the net you will say adverts for forex scalping and day trading systems
which promise regular profits that can make you rich but there is a problem, none of them work, because forex scalping is based on logic that simply is not correct...

The problem of course is prices are determined by humans and I such short time spans as a day you have no way of knowing which way prices are going to go.

Millions of traders all using different methods and governed by the emotions of greed and fear cannot be predicted in such short time spans. This means that daily volatility is random, prices can and do go anywhere in a day and support and resistance is meaningless.

You will always see track records that make huge profits presented but they are all done knowing the closing prices! Let's face it if a track record looks to good to be true it normally is and this applies to forex scalping and day trading systems.

You can simply look for a disclaimer and you will normally find this one or similar on any track record.

"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".

Of course if we all knew today's prices in advance, we would all be rich but we don't.

Forex trading is harder - you have to trade going forward not backwards.

Vendors who sell these systems simply use hyped copy and a simulated track record to appeal to naïve or greedy traders - they know the system doesn't work, so they don't bother trading it - they simply make up a track record.

Despite the hype, forex scalping doesn't work and you need to trade the odds to win and that simply is not possible in short time frames.

There are two ways to make money in forex trading, you can either swing trade which takes advantage of trends that last for a few days to a few weeks, or long term trend follow which takes advantage of moves that last for weeks or months.

If you want to enjoy currency trading success, you need to trade the odds - to do this you must have valid data and data within a day or less is not valid.

Forex trading is not easy and you wouldn't expect it to be with the rewards on offer but if you learn forex trading the right way and spend some time on your forex education, you can make big profits and for the effort you put in no other business offers you more in terms of rewards.

So forget forex scalping systems and look to trade the odds, using valid data and this will lead you to currency trading success.
