Scalping stocks is probably one of my strengths in comparison to other trading methods. I find it works well for me when markets are in a whipsaw back and forth like we had today. You could never have really picked one side to trade on since we had crazy movement in both directions so you needed to be flexible. I was in and out of trades very quickly because of the illiquid environment we are currently trading in. I calculated the total time I was in stock today for fun and found I was long or short stock for 1 hour 36 minutes and 37 seconds out of a total 6 hours and 30 min for the trading session. So for about 75% of the trading day I was completely flat with no positions. I made $800.00 on the dot today which equates to $8.24 a minute. I will continue to keep track of figures like this to get a better feel for how I trade under different market conditions and hopefully I can hone in on what works best for me. You should be going over all of your trades to find out what is working and what isn’t working for you!!!
