Ask HN: Anyone into Stock Scalping?
Asking as an amateur. First, let me say that I know that trading is not a game and most people lose money.
Having said that, the idea of scalping really fascinates me as I have always thought about it a simplistic manner "Hey that stock moved a couple of bucks up today. If I had 50 shares to sell, I could make a quick $200 profit minus the commission". Of course, the stock could have moved down and then may be I would have held it anyway.
A very simplied version of course but kinda scratching the surface of what stock traders call scalping. I know there are many other techniques in scalping itself.
Does anyone do this at a smaller level as in less than a few hundred bucks a day or even a month ?
