What scalping really is, why it amplifies risk management mistakes, and the method to practise it without destroying your account.

Frequently asked questions
- Is scalping profitable?
- Scalping can be profitable, but it amplifies everything: costs (spread, commissions), risk management errors and emotional pressure. It demands stricter discipline than swing trading, not less.
- Is scalping suitable for beginners?
- Rarely. Scalping requires fast execution and solid emotional control. Most beginners are better off mastering slower timeframes before shortening their horizon.
