Scalping is a trading style that involves making a small profit on local price fluctuations. In simple terms, an expert advisor acts like a surgeon, cutting (scalping) small price waves.
However, this does not mean that traders who scalp make little profit. They achieve substantial profits through:
- Using a trading lot size significantly larger than other trading methods.
- Engaging in a large number of trades.
Thus, a scalping trading system can generate substantial profits, comparable to profits from other trading methods.
An example of scalping on a rebound from the boundaries of the Bollinger Bands indicator. Deals are concluded at the moment the quotes turn in the direction of the central line BB.

However, before choosing a scalping bot, you must ensure that your trading account meets the necessary conditions for scalping:
- The spread size should be minimal.
- The trade execution speed should be minimal.
