Just a decade ago, scalping was a lucrative form of trading that only pit traders could partake in. With tight spreads and a clear view of the market, the hustle and bustle of the open outcry market was perfectly suited for many quick entries and exits for five or ten basis points at a time. Now, however, with access to the deep liquidity of the currency market along with improvements to technology and data flow, retail traders have now found their way into the trading space formerly dominated by professionals. However, entry alone does not guarantee success. In fact, for the unprepared it merely presents a means to lose their money more quickly. Without the entire market trading in front of you, successful scalping requires a definitive strategy that takes advantage of an inefficiency or even a natural characteristic of the market that is only seen through very short time frames. In this article, we will highlight three scalping strategies for the currency markets: scalping around event risk; near key technical levels; and through ranges and mean reversion.
