Strategies For Scalping The Forex Market

Trading Strategies

Scalping is the most difficult of all the trading strategies to do profitably as it is impossible for any trader to consistently make money without an edge that gives them an advantage over the randomness in the market. And in the Forex market, as is the case with almost every other financial market that I know of, the smaller the time frame the greater the degree of randomness and the greater the time frame the more significant the effects of an edge tend to be. Scalpers also have the problem that many brokers simply do not like scalpers and will put successful scalpers on dealer intervention or even stop accepting their trades altogether.

Support and Resistance for Trade Entries and Exits

Trading Strategies

Support and resistance levels are key levels where it is possible for the price of a currency pair to experience reversals.

Trend Following

Trading Strategies

In my opinion, the best trading strategy for trading the Forex market is probably trend following.

And as speculators have gained access to ever increasing amounts of capital over the last 20 or 30 years as more and more wealth is poured into hedge funds and the likes the influence of speculators has increased. But speculation still doesn't rule the Foreign Exchange market in the way t...
