fuck going in and out. it's stupid and self defeating.
Successful scalping is an art (like all successful trading).
From your statement I guess you do not master this art in the shortest timeframe (you prly have your strenghts in day/swing).
This tho, does not make scalping stupid.
I think that statement maks very little sense.
As opposed to guessing the direction of things over a medium timeframe, I like to take what the market gives in shorter terms.
I think its all about adapting to the chosen timeframe, and be very careful to the downside and yet not too greedy on the upside.
Further I also think most "rules" applied to successful trading are common even in hyper-scalping/daytrading/swing/long term/investing.
Again, its all about the chosen timeframe.
Good luck fellow scalpers.
