quite common today to find an angle in, execute & it greens & it comes back, someone out there obviously has the same insight as me

We've had normal for 28 yrs, I'm enjoying the change, don't wish it away!
today is awful for me, is there any chance we could have some clear cut clarification from both Euler & Jolly Green Giant on scalping?, is it viable still?, if so why & what markets?
Reason for asking?, having paid £300 for a course and being told (as mentioned before to forget it) yet people who haven’t attended a course are doing quite well with it seems.
To me it just doesn’t add up.

You'll never get a clear-cut clarification about scalping because it's purely a matter of opinion.Korattt wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 4:25 pmtoday is awful for me, is there any chance we could have some clear cut clarification from both Euler & Jolly Green Giant on scalping?, is it viable still?, if so why & what markets?

I'm sure the course you attended wasn't designed to program your brain like you would a computer, giving instruction of what to do in every eventuality. It was, I suspect, designed to give you a foundation to build on.
Scalping works for some people and people who are unsuccessful at scalping are usually better at other techniques.
I haven't heard it mentioned before, but in my opinion, success as scalping will be influenced by stake size. Imagine two scalpers with a similar technique trading the same markets, one using £10-20 stakes the other £200-500. I can see circumstances where the small trader will have a good day, the larger one getting hammered. I can also visualise situations where they just get one or two scalps off and the smaller trader wishes he traded bigger stakes.

Who said to forget scalping ? I been doing it for ages on soccer matches, just before team announcements and at halftime on o/u markets.
Did they just mean horse racing ? I imagine it depends on the race types.
- Hcaps with favourite operating in a tight range should be fine etc.

Why would you want to be taught how to pick up pennies rather than the pounds available by being able to spot genuine sustained moves? I'd be pretty pissed off if I paid £300 and they tried to fob me off with a course of scalping noise for a tick or two.Korattt wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 4:25 pmtoday is awful for me, is there any chance we could have some clear cut clarification from both Euler & Jolly Green Giant on scalping?, is it viable still?, if so why & what markets?

I've no doubt there are people out there making fortunes from scalping, Simon and guess you're one of those with all your stats and bots, maybe you should be the one advising Korratt.
In my opinion scalping horses looks very easy due to the high strike rates you'll get but you're pretty much trading noise and one wrong move usually costs alot more than the winning ones. If you can predict the direction of the market surely you'd stay on for more than a tic or two so with scalping you're basically hoping the price will ping pong for a while. I'm not saying scalping isn't viable way of making money as I scalp certain markets myself but if I was paying £300 I'd much rather learn something that would help me spot sustained moves rather than the possibility of when a market might ping pong a set range.
