Let's Talk Scalping: Fast Trades, Fast Hands
Posted by: Bonk | Short trader | Probably already in and out of 3 positions while writing this

Yo fam,
Figured I’d drop a quick guide on scalping for those who like their trades short, spicy, and over before their coffee gets cold.

Been scalping for a while now — it’s not for the faint of heart or the weak of Wi-Fi. But if you like action, precision, and the occasional adrenaline dump, welcome to the club.
🧠 What Is Scalping?

Scalping = taking multiple small trades throughout the day, aiming for tiny gains (think 0.1%–1% per trade). The idea is to stack profits with high-frequency trades rather than holding and hoping.

It’s not glamorous, but it’s real work — like being a sniper, not a shotgunner.
️ Tools You Need:

1min or 5min chart — anything higher and you're basically swing trading.

Volume indicators — volume spikes often precede moves.

VWAP, EMA 9/21 — my go-to combo for entry/exit clarity.

Level 2 / Order Book (if you're serious) — for that edge in entries.

A solid broker with low fees and fast execution. Every second matters.

How to Scalp (Bonk Style):

Identify high-volatility pairs – No volume? No party.

Wait for a setup – Breakout retest, VWAP bounce, EMA cross, etc.

Enter fast – Set limit orders ahead if needed.

Set tight SL and TP – Risk:reward is everything. Don’t let 1 loss wipe 5 wins.

Get out quick – You’re not dating this coin. You’re speed-dating it.

Pro tip: Pre-plan your exits. Don’t think, just execute. Scalping isn’t about vibes — it’s about precision.
🧊 Stay Cold:

Don’t revenge trade.

Don’t over-leverage.

Don’t let one red candle ruin your day.

And never scalp when you’re emotional or distracted. Seriously, even hunger messes with decisions.

🧠 Mental Game:

Scalping is fast-paced and mentally draining. If you’re not sharp, you’ll bleed. I take breaks every 60–90 mins to reset. Water, walk, whatever. Keeps the mind clean.
🧼 Wrap-Up:

Scalping is like being a caffeinated ninja with trust issues — quick in, quicker out, no attachments.
It’s not easy money, but it can be consistent money with discipline, tight risk control, and reps.

️ As always: This isn’t financial advice. Just a trader yelling into the void with a few battle scars and a caffeine addiction.
