How can you determine the best time to use a scalping strategy? (2024)

Qual o seu volume financeiro?Qual o tamanho usado, de volume financeiro, em sua estratégia?Qual o nível de escorregamento que você aceita?Comece respondendo essas questões.Pois uma estratégia que opere 1000 contratos onde o mercado esteja com somente 300, por nível de preço e zero escorregamento: falta liquidez para a estratégia. No entanto, se você aceita que 3 tickets serão ok, então não vai faltar liquidez. E se forem 50 contratos num mercado de 100, por nível de preço? Mais fácil e sem escorregamento. Lembrando que o princípio do scalping é entrar e sair rapidamente. Então o processo é relativo, complexo e depende cada um vê no mercado. E você como enxerga a estratégia de scalping?

Scalping as a nature is a risky product. Risk associated is huge if the strategy is positional. Second thing to consider is price interval, means at what difference scalping can be executed. Third, execution plays critical role, means (execution time and type of order whether market order or limit order). Unless you don’t have algorithm platform for execution, scalping is not possible. All the above points are in addition to liquidity.. If low liquidity is not substantial(one to two tick difference) then scalping is not advisable.

I used scalping techniques for many years as a Forex institutional trader. In FX, the liquidity is massive, widely traded, and readily accessible. The trick to intraday scalping - or quick execution of trades in a two-sided strategy - is to not violate your CORE long or short position, but to book profits using technicals to get in and out quickly. It is also useful if your base positioning in any particular currency pair IS correct, then your scalping results are normally going to yield positive returns (ie: in a bullish run that you have predicted by your position, selling into retracements and buying them back quickly will work very well. If they do not, you should re-position). Short time frames and a quick trigger-finger, no regrets.

Ao implementar uma estratégia de escalpelamento, os traders devem considerar tanto a volatilidade quanto a liquidez do mercado. Um mercado volátil e líquido oferece o ambiente ideal para o escalpelamento, proporcionando oportunidades abundantes para lucros rápidos e eficientes. No entanto, em mercados com baixa volatilidade ou liquidez, os scalpers podem enfrentar desafios significativos e devem avaliar cuidadosamente os riscos envolvidos antes de prosseguir com suas operações.

While it is true that higher volatility markets create more opportunities there are still ways to trade in more stable contracts. Scalpers will need to make adjustments depending on market volatility. They should learn ways to trade in both because they will likely face both during their career.

Durch kontinuierliches Beobachten des Marktes und Handeln in verschiedenen Marktumgebungen können Scalper ein Verständnis dafür entwickeln, wann sich die besten Handelsgelegenheiten bieten BESSER GESAGT 1. an welchen Märkten 2. zu welchen Zeiten 3. ist die höchste Volatilität und somit die grösste Chance durch das Handelsystem Scalping ( automatisiert Algo - Spreads ) überdurchschnittlich, positive, Handelserträge zu generieren.

Scalping trends is a very healthy wave to make profits when you are riding rather than fighting the trend.Key tools used can be Fibonacci levels, RSI/ any other leading indicators, cumulative spot volume delta/ etc and a candlestick chart.

I would disagree with this. There are ways to trade both trending and ranging markets. Scalpers shouldn’t concern themselves with such technical definitions. Sometimes trending markets can be hard to get filled in ( they can be too one-way)

The best time to use a scalping strategy is during periods of high market liquidity and volatility, typically at the opening and closing of major financial markets. Additionally, economic news releases and events can create short-term price movements, offering opportunities for scalping.

Again, the opportunities presented in both are different. Experienced scalpers may find some good opportunities in quieter or out of hours market conditions

Certainly, one should trade only during the cash session. Specific indices or commodities experience peak liquidity at particular times. Conversely, there are moments when it's advisable to cease trading, like the final 15 minutes in the ES Future, due to options hedging activities that can render movements unpredictable.

Agree and I would add that scalpers need to operate at a high level of focus and intensity. It can take time to build to this level.

Here are the most powerful Scalping methodes:1. Price Action Scalping2. Scalping with Moving Averages3. Scalping with Bollinger Bands4. Scalping with Stochastic Oscillator5. Scalping with Fibonacci Retracements6. Scalping with Breakouts

In my experience i use Volumes and Price Action as leading indicators for my Scalp trades. Volume higher than the average for a specific period of time will give better opportunity make a quick scalp1. Volumes2. Price Action3. Directional Momentum Index4. Bollinger Bands (To Identify the range on the timeframe0

Determining the optimal timing for employing a scalping strategy involves careful analysis of market conditions. Look for high-volume trading periods, like the opening hours of major markets, where price movements are frequent and predictable. Also, consider factors such as tight spreads and low transaction costs to enhance profitability. Staying informed about economic events is crucial for making informed decisions. #ScalpingStrategy #MarketAnalysis #TradingTips
