Scalping

First, This newish trader incorrectly defining scalping might as well be more profitable than you are. And that’s what matters.
Second, Whatever the words he does employ, he made himself well understood. And that’s what matters.
Third, You are nitpicking like an intellectual yet idiot trying to academically downplay someone because you got nothing more beneficial to do for the world. Giving, not taking, is actually what matters.

There is no set in stone definition of scalping.
Almost everything is situational & relative.

You’re just trying to sound more experienced.
But it’s not because you talk “better”.
That you do “better”.

It’s just being pedantic.

Pedantic or pathetic or BOTH? ROFLMAO

Scalping is simply taking profit on minor movements. How one defines minor is well.....up to one’s own criteria ...however, scalping usually does involve several trades per session. It can be 1 tick...two ticks...one point..two points...etc. for myself I define it as 1 to 8 points Say in the ES with 8 points usually being a two legged intraday scalp in med to low volatility. in high volatility 8 points can be a single leg scalp.

1 point or less, for me, I consider it manual HFT.

Scalping is the term for the trading activity that aims at garnering the minimum tick. Otherwise, it's short term day trading.

Not any more. HTF’s destroyed that. That used to be so. Those days are gone. A manual scalper has to get out of the under a second HTF range.
