Currency trading is the action of buy and sale positions of foreign currencies in the internet. Scalping is a trading method gives profit from many transactions in online market that sometimes last no more than a few minutes.
Thus, unlike the investors who operate with large investments and ready to wait for a long time to make profit, scalpers can trade with a small investments and earn large number of small deals. In scalping every trade may earn you just few pips. For that reason Forex traders must complete as many transactions as possible to have a big profit. For a successful scalping, traders must learn to trade with minimal losses. Lets’ discuss some trading techniques that make scalping less risky.
There are few types of scalping trading technique: time trading, trading with a trend and trading against a trend. Time trading is a trading strategy where a fifteen minute graph is used. The distinctive feature of this technique is that the profit is fixed very quickly, but the deal seldom lasts more than a minute. Seeing a moment of the breakdown, a trader enters the market on the level of few pips above the maximum or few pips below the minimum of the rate. Once the price reaches your level, you must close it once you have earned 1 pip including spread. Please notice that if the spread of this currency pair is 3 pips so your total profit must be 4 pips in order to be in profit.
The other type of scalping trading method is called trading against a trend. This online trading is also called gathering cents where a trader is taking one-two pips of profit in each trade. Every trend has the moments of so called correction – a small wave against the trend. Study the candlestick chart and look for the bullish and bearish candles in the trend. This technique is recommended to be used during the first and last hours of trading in a specific zone.
The other most popular type of scalping is trading with a trend. This technique of scalping is used during the trend’s rolling back. When the trend is going up, you need to buy when it rolls back down, if the price is downward, then you have to sell on a rollback up. It is better to use the 10 minute candlestick chart for this strategy and a moving average with a period of 10. You close the trade once it reaches 2 pips of profit.
There are a lot of Singapore brokers that allow scalping, though we recommend you to check it with your Forex broker before you start using scalping. Some Singapore Forex brokers don’t allow scalping and may ask you to close a trading account.
