question to professional scalpers

Question to Professional Scalpers (Of course, if there was one of them here)
What is precisely the definition of Real Scalping؟
How do you manage your capital?
Do you risk all your money? Or what?
This Question just to Professionals who spend years as scalpers

Hello rtkwar - was browsing through threads and found yours that caught my eye.
I understand that you want to become a scalper and do not know what to do exactly. My advice is to find your style as a scalper.
I have been scalping the forex market for a few years and at first it took me some time until I got rid of all definitions on scalping and found my own style that suited my trading in order to be relaxed.
Just going to give as example my trading style, which if you would ask I would say it's: "I want what the market wants and I take what the market gives me".
I take from my trades profits of 5, 20, 30 pips. Do not think that if I take 30 pips I'm not scalping. Depending on the time I have each day, I take from 1 trade to 10-15 trades during 6-8 hours.
I never risk all of my account and I always use stop loss.
If you have questions, just quote my post here and I will see it and will try to reply as best and fast as I can.

Oh yeah...forgot to mention....STAY OUT DURING NEWS!

Warning: explicit language and brutual honest answers from a long time scalper.


Scalping, trades that last in the seconds to minutes in the duration of which they are opened to the time they are closed. Average P/L of each trade only being a few pips.
I dont blame you but this is BAD place to ask such a question. The percentage of actually profitable people to loser noobs is huge, then on top of that to find a profitable scalper with at least 6 months profit is like needle in a hay stack. You asking all very personal questions which only truly you can answer yourself, However,

You need to automate your strategy, dont even think of trying to do manual short term you wont last(just helpful advice), find the best broker you can- as this is huge with latency preferably in single low double digit latency if you doing arb of any kind. Risk management is a personal thing, no one can tell you how you should or shouldnt.. but will come with experience. I am very conservative so I tend to risk less and using a bigger account this also very psychology thing. This is bad example of a scalper http://www.myfxbook.com/members/trad...-house/1108685

I would recommend for scalping that you dedicate the best VPS you can to A system. Do Not put all your 10 EAs on one MT4 and expect it work. Scalping is the top notch shit and needs the very best everything to work properly.

Successful scalping values the quantity of wins over the gain of an individual trade. When scalping, be willing to accept a small gain. Don't wait for it to go up and risk loosing a gain.

Also, scalping works best when the markets are the busiest. I have the best results between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm London time, or between 6:00 am and 12:00 noon New York time.
