How not to lose your deposit when trading scalping.

Scalping has become a favorite strategy for most traders due to its maximum profitability. If it weren't for its inherent risk, almost all traders would likely choose this type of stock trading.

The main danger of scalping is losing your deposit—not a drawdown, but a complete loss of all funds when a trade is forced to close by a stop-out.

If it weren't for the frequent stories of total losses, it's unlikely that any trader would refuse to earn 1000% profit monthly. It's virtually impossible to completely eliminate the possibility of losing your deposit, but it can be minimized using fairly simple methods.

• Never use all your available funds in trading; only a portion of your account should be available—30 to 50 percent. Don't risk your entire account; always leave yourself a chance to correct your mistakes.

• Do not trade during news releases, the price at this time can move with such speed that you simply physically will not be able to close an unsuccessful transaction.

• Use one-click trading - this option is available in almost every trader's terminal, you can learn how to use it by reading the article " One-click trading ".

• Do not open transactions that exceed the deposit by more than 500 times, that is, if you have $ 100, the maximum transaction volume is approximately 0.5 lots or $ 50,000.

• Stop orders - it is clear that in a hurry, setting stop loss and take profit does not always work, but there are scripts with which you can automate this moment.

• Trade using a duplicate device, especially when working with large sums, how many deposits have been merged due to a banal Internet disconnection. A tablet or smartphone can be a safety net.

• Don't place more than two orders - when scalping, sometimes even one won't be enough, so don't make things more difficult for yourself.

• Always keep an eye on the spread - its widening can be an unpleasant surprise for you; here it was only 1 pip, and here it's as much as 10. This happens, and with scalping, every pip counts.

You shouldn't be afraid of scalping , you just need to approach it correctly. If this strategy were 100% unprofitable, then thousands of traders around the world wouldn't use it.
