For traders who prefer small but constant profits, scalp trading offers the best way to explore forex trading. The idea is simple: either go long or short and close the trade after a few pips in profit. Although scalping involves quick trading, trades sometimes hold trades for a few hours within a day. Scalping is best for ranging markets with no clear direction and is sometimes called short-range trading. Scalp traders also use indicators such as the exponential moving average (EMA) that react faster to recent price changes than other indicators. Scalping requires speed, attention, and low greed.
