Can You Handle FOREX?
The most increasingly growing method of trading in the foreign monetary exchange marketplace is scalping. Scalping is the process by which traders move in quickly on a seemingly profitable position, then jump back out after only a couple of minutes with the hope that while their money was in the market, they were actually making money. Some people prefer this method over others because it provides immediate feedback and instant gratification. Did I win or lose? You'll know in just a couple of minutes.
Because scalpers make fast moves in and out and because they're playing the odds that overall they will have more winning trades than losing ones, they maintain very tight control over their money and strategy. This is because since they are trading with any slight fluctuation in the currency, it can fluctuate back or even drop by the time the investor pulls his money out. In audio or wave generation this type of activity is known as "noise." Noise is defined as a unsteady continuous variation in signal strength, amplitude or frequency. What’s happening is that people are trading on "market noise."
The most successful scalpers are very good at absorbing a ton of information in a comparatively short period of time. They have to. It's the only way to predict--with even half-uncertainty--that there's a possibility of making a profit. Scalpers are continuously watching a dozen or more different indicators, the currency spreads, and the short-term momentum of a market and a currency pair in that market. It is not usually something a new trader will do, just because there is so much initial data to learn to trade in Forex. Trying to do it at light speed would be overwhelming. Traders get into scalping because either they thrive on the thrill of the bet, have a need for immediate knowledge of a trade or are so comfortable in the market that they're ready to take it to a higher level and risk a little more to gain a little more.
