Scalping is not that easy as many people think. It needs a lot of precision in entry and exit from a trade. It should be the last resort of a trader with successful track record and experience. One or two trades a day is very much a preferred one. It gives a lot of time for the trader to analyze and enter. Also, a few pip away from actual entry point can still be managed effectively as the target is long way apart. Such kind of flexibility is not there when a trader chooses scalping. Moreover, a scalper should never give a second thought to book profit or loss. In most cases, a beginner would find it very difficult to have such an approach towards trading. Thus, scalping is never recommended by professionals. It only increases the stress on the trader.
