My review is fully opposite because I trade scalping thinking it is out of risk. I don’t have sufficient patience for holding a trade for a long time.

What I think is scalping is much relieving trading approach than EA trading, hedging and swing trading.

Because loads of trades mean higher costs due to fees and spreads, plus it's easy to get emotional and overtrade. You're also dealing with short-term price noise, and the stress levels can shoot up with rapid decision-making. Plus, the profits tend to be small, so you might need to crank up the risk per trade to make it worthwhile.

Yes there are lots of downsides in scalping, however it's hard to make correct predictions for medium or long-term because range of potential outcomes increases with time non-linearly. Hence it's harder => less chances to be consistently on the right side.

Scalping isn’t risky unless you trade on the highly volatile market or use high trading leverage.

It is dangerous, because you are always taking a new trade which never meets the previous parameters. This then skews all your statistics, leading to more failures.

Any trading method can be risky if you do not observe the risks in transactions, do not know how to wait for all the rules from your trading strategy to find market entries and do not know how to analyze the market.
