Scalping is the trap the Brokers industry has set for Retail Traders to step in , to overtrade , to think a chart and some lines will make fortunes and fleece them on spreads and commisions . You simply cannot beat the Market sharks in their own play , to trade the noise. And one more confirmation is that the most ridiculous forum members claim being pure scalpers. Like the one below who scalps the Yen and never goes to the Yen forum.....LOL
