Scalping is a higher frequency trading strategy that focuses on exploiting very small price movements over short timeframes, often seconds to minutes. Scalpers rely on high trading volume, tight spreads, and precise technical setups. Most scalping is done using automated trading bots or advanced platforms that support quick order execution. It demands constant attention and low latency.
Example:
A scalper buys ETH at $3,200 and sells at $3,203 minutes later. They repeat this process dozens or even hundreds of times per day to accumulate profit from micro-movements.
