There are only two buy/sell logics in scalping!
In the previous two articles, we explained the魅力 and points to注意 for those starting scalping in FX. From this article onward, we will discuss scalping logics and methods in more concrete terms.
There are many methods referred to as scalping methods, but the fundamental buy/sell logics are actually only two. In other words, if you assume the near-future FX market will be a ranging market, you trade with the “counter-trend method,” and if you assume a trend will emerge and continue, you trade with the “trend-following method.”
What may seem like many scalping methods, in reality there are many criteria to judge ranging vs trend markets, but the basic FX trading strategies are not so different. In fact, if you can accurately determine whether the near-future market will be a range or a trend, you can win in scalping with little risk.
Therefore, in this article we will explain how to distinguish ranging and trending markets, and how to think about counter-trend vs trend-trading approaches.

【If you expect a ranging market…】Counter-trend method
【If you expect a trending market…】Trend-following method
