A scalper stays in a position for seconds to a few minutes. It is demanding: you need speed, a responsive platform, a tight spread and strong focus. Fees and spread weigh heavily given the number of trades.
You aim for $0.10 gain per share, repeated 30 times in a day: that is scalping.
Understanding a term is good. Applying it on a real platform with a clear method is better. That is exactly what we do in 5 days.
