Ultra-short-term trading with many small profits (0.1-0.5%) – requires high discipline.
Example
A scalper trades the 1-minute chart and often holds positions for only seconds to minutes. They might take 0.2% profit per trade, but 30 times a day. What is decisive are tight spreads, low fees and lightning-fast execution — because on such small moves, costs quickly eat the profit. Scalping demands the highest discipline and is usually the hardest style for beginners.
