Scalping: what it means in exchange trading

Trading for very small price moves, often one or two ticks, many times.

Scalpers need liquid markets and tight spreads, and they pay commission on every winning market, so a small edge can vanish after costs.

The smallest step between two prices on the exchange ladder.

Holding a position for a larger price move rather than a tick or two.

The exchange's charge on your net winnings in each market.
