There are times you hear other traders ask themselves the question what makes other scalpers successful because after spending time in the business still they do not get the result they wish? Such question is posted because they do not know some factors that may influence the process of scalping. It is always said that scalping is influenced by several factors which are believed to be the key to its success. Traders who are observant to consider these factors in their trading may also achieve success. Here are a few factors: Spread: In forex scalping, if the spread is higher, it is harder to gather pips you desire. This is because you as a trader need to cover the cost of the spread once a trading position is opened and you need to earn for the broker�s pip first before you could collect your own pips. On the other hand, if the spread is lower, the better because pips are easier and even faster to accumulate. The price within the spread also counts. Average daily price of a chosen currency is not constant but it varies every day. The wider it is, the more opportunities for a realistic profit are achieved as the price moves. Among the most favored currency pair with low spread and shows a good price range in a daily basis is the USD/EUR. Scalpers usually exercise extra caution while using high leverage combined with high frequency trading. They are attentive with the actual trading cost since a dramatic change in pips may result after a huge number of trades. Entries, limits orders, exits, and stops are carefully considered and that realistic goal of targeting profit is executed. Market Session There are 4 main markets session in forex trading namely Asian session, New York session, and London session. Turn over within Asian session is handled by Tokyo, Sydney, Singapore, and Hongkong. Most of the players in this session include the commercial exporters, other big business men and the central banks that compete against each other. The tight competition makes the market unstable. New York session which is the second biggest forex trading market overlaps with London in its closing and opening time. Knowledge with the closing and opening time of these sessions is very important because it signals action. Scalpers need to define active sessions and learn the behavior of a chosen currency pairs including the hours such pairs are active for them to catch a price move that is fairly good.
