The last 2 minutes for me.

I like it when the big boys come to the party as you can get some massive moves.

The key is knowing when the moves have been exhausted and you can ride the reversals. :)
You can't scalp massive moves, you can only swing-trade them.
I find massive moves are some of the easiest to scalp, I often do it alongside an open swing trade, but if I miss the move then scalping it can still be a godd way of getting something from it.
It's the volatile whipsawing markets that are most dangerous and will often costly
That's not really scalping the move but scalping after the move.

Not necessarily, but doing it with the trend requires lightning fingers, but as soon as the offer dries (massive 1tick WOM difference) someone could dump £500 into 2.26 with a 1 tick offset

I think I tried that in my early days of trading with disastrous results - the loss when the price reverses outweighing all the one tick profits. I know some people may have mastered it but it's not something I'd want to go back to.
