Scalp trading is an ultra-short-term trading strategy where traders open and close positions within seconds or minutes to profit from small price movements. It is used by day traders in stock, forex, and cryptocurrency markets who rely on high trade volume, tight spreads, and fast execution rather than large individual gains. It demands intense focus, quick decision-making, and strict risk management since profits per trade are typically small.
