Scalping: what's your honest reality check?

Scalping looks like fast money and behaves like slow bleed for most who try it: the spread and commission eat a large share of every win, and the speed punishes hesitation. A few make it work with ruthless discipline.

Scalpers, share the truth:

• your win rate and average win versus loss
• what the costs do to your net per trade
• the temperament that scalping actually demands

The trading costs guide shows why costs dominate at this time frame.
