What is Scalping?
Scalping is a very short-term style that tries to capture small price moves many times throughout the session, often holding positions for seconds or minutes. Because each trade aims for a small gain, costs like the spread, commissions, and slippage matter a lot. It is intense, fast, and unforgiving of hesitation or wide fills.
Why Scalping matters
Scalping is where trading costs can quietly eat results, so it shows why fees and slippage are not minor details.
