Forex Trading Methods - Scalping Vs Day Trading

It’s best to go over some short definitions and descriptions of each of these two forex methods.

Scalping

Scalping is basically . These where a holds a position can vary from seconds to minutes. Scalping is effectively the minutest moves in the for usually a small profit.

To give an example a leveraged with 100,000 EUR/USD position will earn/lose $10 per movement. That means a small 3 movement either way will add $30 to or lose $30 of the traders deposit.

Even though effective scalping involves highly leveraged positions the exposure to is lessened to some degree by the amount of ‘time’ that a holds his/her position so large movements are rarer (but beware can occur).

Scalping is a popular method of practiced by ‘’ thrilled with the cat and mouse of the and some traders make a good living out of it but most traders, in fact close to 90% either break even or lose their deposits.

An added factor to consider is that brokerage houses do not like scalpers. Why? The is simple. When a position is taken by a the has the opposite position and needs to cover that position especially if the feels that the traders position is the right one for conditions. If the then covers that position and a few seconds/minutes later the position is squared then the has a exposure and brokers are companies that generally don’t like exposure. Most make their on spreads and against their clients positions. Those scalpers that make consistently find that most brokerage houses terminate their accounts. That doesn’t mean to say that it will happen immediately but when a pattern does arise of scalping don’t be surprised if your ‘’ you!

Day

Day is not really referring to the holding of positions by traders for a day but is more descriptive of the type of forex that prefers to hold on to a position for a longer than a at most. These positions usually last for more than an hour, few hours and in some cases days.

A day is a ‘different animal’ to the in that he/she is more comfortable with exposure to the of larger . It’s not because they have fatter wallets it’s usually down to having more experience and a different temperament.

The profit motive for a day is also different. A day will look for larger moves within a single trade and be aware of and use for example greater technical analysis to calculate the best entry and exit levels.

Brokers tend to prefer these traders as they can do two things, trade against their client by covering their exposure and go the other way if they have an opposing view or square (net out) the position.

Again there are a of losers in the day trade due primarily to inexperience and a ‘gambling’ mentality that many participants in the forex have.

The who consistently make understand the through experience of and acquired and are persistent and understand forex methods that are available and in what situations to use them.

Day Trading and the Pattern Day Trader Rule

Flipping in and out of may be a great way to scrape small off price dips and swells, but unless your portfolio has an equity and position of at least $25,000, you will run afoul of the pattern day rule.

The pattern day rule limits your ability to buy and sell the same in the same day, unless your portfolio has a and value of at least $25,000.

This is just one additional you need to jump before getting involved in penny day . This rule stipulates that you must have at least $25,000 in or value in your portfolio to move in and out of the same security on the same day.

Generally, an online will allow you to “get away” with one or two per week on what they call “both sides of the ,” but they could theoretically reject your order requests at any time.

When I was first starting out in this I had about $5,000 in my . I came across a that was up and down in intraday and decided to try flipping the a few times.

After my third buy and sell transaction that day, I received an alert from my . It notified me of the pattern day rule, and suggested I deposit $20,000 into my to meet SEC guidelines.

Right. I had $20,000 setting around looking for a .

My subsequent attempts to trade on both sides of the were with “Cannot accept this order” type messages.

What Exactly Is This Rule?

According to the SEC, a day is any who buys and sells a particular security in the same day and does this four or more times in any five consecutive day period.

Here’s a more legal way of saying basically the same thing:

A pattern day is defined in Exchange Rule 431 as any customer who executes 4 or more round-trip day within any 5 successive days. If, however, the number of is more than 3 but is 6% or less than the total number of that has made for that five day period, the will not be considered a pattern day and will not be required to meet the $25,000 criteria for a pattern day .

More Legalese

According to http://www.patterndaytraderrule.com, this rule is, “this rule applies to anyone who buys and sells a particular security in the same day (day ), and does this four or more times in any five consecutive day period. A pattern day is subject to special rules. The main rule is that in order to engage in pattern day you must maintain an equity balance of at least $25,000 in a .” Please visit the site referenced above for a complete legal description.

Now that you know more about this rule, you could technically make a few day each week without violating SEC rules. However, some authority has been given to online brokers to judge your patterns, which could lead to being labeled as a day , despite your efforts to trade within the non-pattern day rules.

You should also be aware of the “five consecutive day” comment above. Apparently, the clock does not reset on Monday morning. If you placed several day on the previous Friday, these may be a part of the same five day period on Monday.

Why Is There A Pattern Day Rule?

In general , the community and the Security and Exchange Commission felt the of day was causing beginning to lose too much in the marketplace. In an effort to curb the day mania, they decided a should have a minimum balance before being bale to practice this . I they figure if you are worth $25,000, you have the and experience to flip .

I have a different opinion on this. Yes, the SEC may have had your best interests in mind, but I believe (unfounded opinion here) that the institutional resented the range bound of due to flippers constantly scraping tiny off a ’s movement. Imagine a is rallying on good news. As the rises in value the flippers come into the . A flipper’s mentality (us , that is) is to sell quick, thus deflating the asking price in our to sell out and move along with our small .

Flipping can frustrate a ’s move up, which drives the institutional guys wild. Due to their position sizes in a given , they cannot move in and out of the as quickly as . When you look at all the invested in the , keep in mind that about 80% of it is controlled by institutional . These are predominantly the , pension funds, and companies.

Remember the old saying, “he who has the , makes the rules?” Because of their sheer size, the institutional get to make the rules-the pattern day rule.

What Can I Do About This Rule?

I despise most rules, and see some of this governmental meddling as a slight on the capitalist system. But, I’ll save those for my college term papers.

The pattern day rule may be helpful to some of you. As you build your value to meet this requirement, learn how to trade and profit on . The experience you gain as a researcher and technical analyst will pay later when you join the fast paced day community.

These specialists to visit each in only a of . The specialist could correspond to the buyer with another ; write tickets natural that, once treated, would have the effect of transferring the and relay the information to both brokers. The brokerage were set at 1% of the transaction amount, ie for the purchase of a value of $ 10000 inventory costs to the buyer $ 100 in .

One of the first steps to make day shares potentially profitable was the regime change of the commission. In 1975, the and Exchange Commission. (SEC) has set the commission illegal, giving rise to a of brokers offering commission reduced.

This activity is identical to the of modern times, but for the longest period of settlement. But today, in order to reduce , the settlement period is generally three days. Reducing the settlement period of default reduces the likelihood, but it was not possible before the of the electronic transfer of ownership.

The next important step in the facilitation of the day was the founder in 1971 of the NASDAQ - a virtual exchange on which the orders were transmitted electronically. Switching from paper and wrote share to the registers dematerialized shares, and computerized registration not only requires amendments to the legislation, but also the development of technology necessary: online, real-time systems, rather than in batches; electronic communications rather than the postal service, telex or physical shipment of computer tapes, and the development of secure cryptographic .

This marked the of “ makers”: the Nasdaq equivalent of a specialist. A maker is an inventory of to buy and sell, and at the same time offers to buy and sell the same title. Obviously, it will offer to sell shares at a higher price than the price at which it offers to buy. This difference is known as the “spread”. It is of no importance for the -maker if the price of a goes up or down, because it has sufficient and always buy cheaper than it sells. Today, there are nearly 500 companies participating as makers on the RET, each one giving a generally four to forty different .
