Exits at light speed
Scalping
Half the hold, twice the survival
Pre-set stop AND target before entry. Wrong = out instantly, no negotiation. A scalper's edge is realized across hundreds of trades. Protecting each one's tail risk is the job.
Check yourself
A scalp goes wrong. The correct action is…
- Widen the stop
- Exit now, the thesis had a shelf life of seconds correct
- Average down
The setup was momentary. When the moment's gone, the trade is gone. Out. Average down — buying more at a worse price to lower your average — just makes a losing scalp bigger.
