There is lots of overlap between scalpers and day traders. Low time frames, more unpredictable moves, a need to employ a system that exploits volatility effectively. I only scalp during extremely strong trends, and I don't recommend it for beginners at all.
Currently studying T.A here and it appears that some of the concept that pertains to what type of trader you are is a bit confusing with respect to the risk to reward ratio..
Isn't it that swing trading or day trading who deals with a larger timeframe is prone to a greater risk than those people who are doing scalp trading? Or I just misunderstood the concept? As far as I know, trading with a larger timeframe comes with a great risk because of the gap between prices while scalping is the other way around.
