Scalping (Handle with Care)
Scalping tries to capture very small price moves many times a day, often holding positions for seconds or minutes. It is one of the most demanding and costly styles, and most people who try it lose money, so treat it with strong caution.
↔️Range Trading
Range trading buys near the bottom of a sideways price channel and sells near the top. It works when a market is bouncing between clear support and resistance rather than trending.
