Scalping through an order book

Scalping can be a very transparent type of trading. By trading through an order book, you see everything that is happening inside the market. Each of your trades can be explained in full. On average, a scalper makes between 20 and 40 trades per day. Some trades last 30 seconds, some last a minute, and some can last 10 minutes. It is important that scalpers do not risk a large part of the capital. On average, the return of a scalper per day, if we take an average over a year, is 0.50% per day, which is 120% per annum. However, it is worth remembering that scalping is a highly speculative trade associated with high risk. Therefore, the total share of traded capital on scalping is 10% of the total capital.
