What are the components of a strategy?



1.Entry and exit signal
2.Stop loss placement
3.Money management, including position sizing
Remember that these three sections of a strategy have to be as specific as possible and they have to make sense. A day trader cannot be thinking in the middle of a trade, "Where will I place my stops this time?" or "I wonder if I should be buying or selling now?" This has to be clearly defined by the system being used so that the day trader is simply following a set of conditions in any given market situation. When this is accomplished, every new position that the trader enters or exits builds the discipline he needs to succeed.
Mastery of the day trading strategy will come over time, as the trader learns to apply it with precision and consistency. That is why it is also important that the strategy be simple enough to apply without having a Ph.D. from MIT. When the strategy has too many indicators and conditions, the day trader can be easily confused, and a confused trader has almost no chance of executing successful trades.
A successful strategy must boast a postive expectancy.

What Is Scalping?




Scalping Strategies:

Some scalpers work around the bid/offer, buying on the bid and selling on the offer to pocket the spread, or perhaps a tick or two more. This is perhaps the "purest" form.
Slightly longer term scalp trades (there's an oxymoron!) are generally taken from three different trading patterns:
Breakouts from consolidation
Bounces off support and resistance
Retracements in a trend. Retracement scalps may be taken with the trend following a pullback, or, if the trader is sharp and brave, countertrend during the pullback.
What sets a scalper apart from other traders is that the profit target is likely to be small. While a longer term breakout trader might wait for the breakout to turn into a trend, the scalper will generally be happy to pocket a few points during the frenetic trading activity as the breakout occurs. (S)he may well trade in large size with an eye on the order flow in order to spot the optimum time to enter and exit.
Some traders will scale out most of their position for a scalp but leave some on, in order to capitalise on further price movement, should it appear. Different market conditions often require different approaches so scalping can be a tool in the trader's box as opposed to the method always used.read more.......

Advantages:
Very effective use of capital with minimal risk per trade.
High percentage win rate.
Suitable for the impatient trader who is prepared to devote a lot of time and continuous focus to the market.
Event risk is small as the scalper will usually be almost certain of a fill at the chosen exit point even if conditions suddenly change.
Knowledge of fundamental analysis not required, although scalpers should be aware of news and/or earnings releases.read more.....


Disadvantages:

Intense, draining and demands a lot of screen time. Accurate timing is vital.
Trading platform, data provision and connection the the exchange often expensive.
Danger of "death by a thousand cuts" to the inexperienced.
