Many of the traders on this board are scalping, if you look through the threads you will find some very profitable scalpers.

Yes, I scalp Forex. Eur/Usd.

Don't enjoy long trades. Prefer to wait long until the time is right.

Hi
I use the following scalping method on Intertrader in sterling based in the UK on
a spread betting account
The pip difference is 1/3 pips on the following that i trade
AM EURUSD,GBP/USD DAX
PM EUR/USD GBP/USD DOW JONES
I look to make 40 pips a day and only trade when markets are volatile which is
almost every day.
Trades are held from 1 min to 30 minutes
I monitor all trades and sell 70% of trade once target reached i use my own target
for remaining 30% which is maximum of 20 pips and minimum of 10 pips unless
closed at a loss.
About 80% achieve minimum target of 5 pips.
I have used this system for 2 months after having traded a number of methods during last 10 years.
MACD 5 8 9
PSAR 0.10 0.11
i USE 5 MIN CHARTS AND LOOK AT 1 AND 15 MINUTE FOR CONFIRMATION
I only enter trade when macd and psar are aligned
Feel free to trail this yourself or if FORUM want to check it out will welcome it.
Good luck

hi
i tend to use stoploss set at 1 minute but look at 5 minute chart for confirmation.
Its varies from 5 pips to a maximum of 20 pips.
In the same way that if trading off 1/5 minutes and there is a change of psar
i mark the chart and look for entries and exit.
When i trade i try and get a feel for the market and add my own lines to charts with alarms for possible trades.
If the market is trading with little movement i use 6 pips as a stop as there is only 1 pip difference on eur/usd and dax and dow has minimum of 12 pips.
Hope this is helpful
