Scalping provides short-term gratification, but day trading is a strategy to ultimately seize victory
Scalping succeeds in the short term, which is why
scalping is so highly praised
No matter how many times people say, “Don’t counter-trend,” “Don’t scalping,”
for decades people have continued to favor scalping, counter-trend, and averaging down
Conversely, no matter how much people highlight the advantages of trend-following,
the number of traders who pursue it remains limited
Because trend-following profits take an extremely long time to materialize
and there are long and short periods before a strong trending market appears
In other words, because you cannot forecast until a trend actually appears
people settle on counter-trend or scalping
But as always
ultimately, a trending market emerges
counter-trend and scalping traders are flushed out
and trend-followers win
This has continued for decades
From the standpoint of the FX market itself
the dominance of trend-following is clear
so trend-following is correct
Trend-following does not succeed in short-term markets
you need to wait for the right time
Therefore, it becomes a day-trading to swing-trading strategy, not scalping
In practice, it’s the day-trade to swing-trade strategies that succeed
In reality, the successful strategies are day-trade to swing-trade
scalpers and counter-trend folks are merely enjoying profits in the moment
Ultimately, the ones who secure lasting wins are the day-traders to swing-traders
If you understand the market's turning points
you can seize these victories
