Although scalping may mean fast profits that compound in the long run, it’s perilous and discouraged for new market entrants.
Many trading strategies are available for the traders in the market. A few noted ones are quite popular with the trading community; this includes day trading, position trading, swing trading, and scalping. Although different traders employ these different strategies, the goal here is to achieve profit at the end of the trading activities. Unlike the other listed methods, scalping is meant only for the sophisticated, knowledgeable trader who can maintain the trading volatility without being under any pressure.
What is Scalping?

If living the fast life is for you, you’re fluid and flexible and can take decisions on your feet; then you should consider taking on the scalping trading method. Scalping is a trading activity that involves trading within a shorter time frame compared to other trading patterns. In scalping, traders trade intra-day, i.e., trade setup is achieved within few minutes, 5 mins, 10mins, 1 hour (the highest time frame for scalping). Entry and exits are dependent firmly on Technical Analysis - a type of market chart analysis that uses price action, candlestick patterns, trading volume, and a combination of various trading indicators.
Because of its concise time frame, scalpers rarely rely upon Fundamental Analysis - trading analysis that deals with fundamentals of a project, news, or rumors. The News is the only type of Fundamental Analysis scalpers can use as it provides high volatility and volume in the market.
Scalping Execution

Scalpers don’t hold for the long term; the goal is to hold for the shortest time possible to maximize profits quickly. Taking advantage of smaller profits allows for consistent compounding, which is the safest route possible for the scalper. Although scalping generally depends on the lower timeframes, scalpers take advantage of the volatility in the extensive trading timeframe. Scalpers zoom out to check for market trends and direction and then zoom in to pick their entry and exit points.
Leverage

Because the price movement is relatively small, which could mean smaller profits than other trading types, scalping involves leveraging to boost profit. This method is usually associated with Futures and Margin trading. However, it should be noted that although leverage could mean huge profit when trades go in favor of the scalper, it could mean significant loss when the trade goes against his setup. For example, if a scalper picks a position with a 100X leverage, he makes 100X in profit if the trade goes his way and invariably losses 100X if it goes the other way.
Risk Management
Because scalping involves swift movements, risk management is the paramount principle for a successful scalping system. This trading method isn’t for newbies in trading or for the indisciplined as blowing your account is highly likely with this trading method. Stop-losses are an integral part of scalp trading. Setting stop-loss below the support region of the trade setup when going long(buy) and above the resistance region when going short(sell) acts as a protection against sharp losses due to resulting breakouts.

Correct position sizing is another crucial skill adopted by successful scalpers. Risking appropriately, minding your position size, and placing a stop loss will guarantee your continued trading existence in the long term. Picking a position that fits your capital allocation is a skill necessary in scalping else; you’re not far away from a liquidation email.
Significance of Scalping
When a scalper successfully employs trading indicators, engages the right discipline, and approaches scalping professionally, they can be rewarded by making small gains pretty fast. This quickly compounds and resulting in very significant gains. In a ranging market, a type of market that almost looks like there is no significant price movement - scalping activities could mean immense profit when correct leverages are applied. Scalping is not done by a human only; in these days of high volatility and advanced tools (bots and algorithmic trading) are becoming common in the market. For the human side of scalp trading, there exist two kinds of scalpers that define the scalping method, the discretionary and systemic scalpers.
Discretionary and Systemic Scalping Strategy
Discretionary scalpers make trading decisions on the spot; he depends on his intuition or gut feelings, many times, fueled by news or market sentiments. For example, if X coin has achieved its ATH (All-Time High) and Y coin seems to be ranging, he takes on a position in Y coin, waiting for a breakout of price. The discretionary scalpers do not have a strict set of rules before taking on positions.

For a Systemic scalper, there are rigid rules he must follow. He is data-driven and uses a combination of tools to pick his position. Unlike discretionary traders, he doesn’t depend on his gut feelings or intuitions. He uses indicators that are common with scalping events.
Indicators used
A combination of different trading indicators could improve on a high success point of a scalping trade.
- Relative Strenght Index (RSI): is the most famous tool used. It indicates an oversold and overbought position of trade. When a market is above 70 RSI, it is said to be Overbought; below 30 is the Oversold region.
- Support and Resistance: The first step for a technical analyst is to plot the Support and Resistance zones of a trade setup. The zones indicate a region where the market is likely to change its direction. The Support zones are usually above the current market price while Resistance is above.
- Moving Averages: Typical Moving Averages like the Small Moving Average and the Exponential Moving Average show the market trend. It indicates a bull, ranging or a bear market, from which scalpers can pick their positions.

Other trading tools like the Elliot waves, Finobaccci, and Bolinger tools are also adopted for a successful scalping activity. Is this type of scalping style suitable for me? A vital question anyone considering scalping should ask.
Should You Consider Scalping Trading
Absolutely No! If you’re a newbie, reconsider other trading strategies, particularly one that deals with a more extensive timeframe, like position and swing trading. Reasoning? As a newbie trader, the tendency for allowing your emotion to come in the way is relatively high as things happen fast in real-time.
As an experienced trader with expertise, you should develop proper risk management, spare funds (money you can afford to lose comfortably), and disciplined position size.
In Closing
Although scalping may mean fast profits that compound in the long run, it’s perilous and discouraged for new market entrants. Those who can’t think on their feet or are easily irritated are not too fit for this type of trading. You shouldn’t consider the gains first but instead, the potential risk involved.
A gained $200 is better than a lost $2000. Therefore, this trading strategy is meant for experienced traders with enough spare funds to trade. As a newbie, for your peace of mind, go for longer trade setups.

Terraform Co-Founder Do Kwon Arrested in Montenegro After Months on the Run

Do Kwon has also been charged with fraud by US prosecutors, who issued an eight-count indictment against him for securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud, and conspiracy.
Do Kwon Caught at Podgorica Airport
Do Kwon, co-founder of Terraform Labs, was arrested by Montenegro police at Podgorica airport while trying to board a flight to Dubai, according to Reuters.
During the encounter, the Montenegrin police discovered forged Costa Rican passports and a Belgian passport in their luggage. The Montenegrin police formally charged the ex-Terra CEO along with a second suspect for allegedly forging official documents before a Podgorica court.
After matching fingerprints with official records, South Korean police confirmed that Kwon was the suspect in Montenegro on Friday.
Within hours of Kwon's detention in Podgorica, the U.S. District Court in Manhattan made public an eight-count indictment against him. This includes two counts each of securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud, and conspiracy.
Allegations Against Do Kwon by SEC
The recent criminal case followed last month's civil charges brought against Kwon and Terraform by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to SEC allegations, Do Kwon misled investors regarding TerraUSD's stability and failed to inform them that the coin's price fell below its dollar peg. The value of the token and its underlying cryptocurrency sank to near zero last May, resulting in a sell-off in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether as a result.
Additionally, the SEC claims that Kwon and Terraform falsely claimed Chai, a Korean mobile payment app, used the Terraform blockchain to process payments.
Worth noting that South Korean authorities issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Kwon last September after determining Terraform Labs had violated capital market regulations.
South Korean officials believed he was in Serbia and sent officials to Belgrade to negotiate since there was no extradition treaty between the two countries.
A Seoul prosecutor told CNN in December that the crypto entrepreneur hid in Serbia after leaving Singapore via Dubai. Kwon was based in Singapore while running the blockchain platform Terraform Labs.

Uniswap has posted healthy numbers during its first 10 days on BNB Chain, but its activity right now is a fraction of chain leader PancakeSwap’s.
The Beginning of the Uniswap Era on BNB Chain
Uniswap is making inroads into Decentralized Finance (DeFi) on BNB Chain, as the swap volume on the Decentralized Exchange (DEX) approaches the $50 million mark in the past week.

The weekly volume catapulted Uniswap into seventh place among all BNB Chain DEXes, which overall posted a decrease in exchange activity of more than 40% in the past week.
According to DefiLlama, the volume on Uniswap has hovered around $7 million per day since its launch on March 16.

In terms of Total Value Locked (TVL), Uniswap’s TVL of $10.5 million puts it in 13th place among BNB Chain DEXes.
The Battle of the DEXes on BNB Chain has just begun, but after 10 days Uniswap hasn’t yet registered as much more than a blip against dominant DEX PancakeSwap, posting about 3% of the PancakeSwap’s exchange volume and less than half a percent of PancakeSwap’s TVL.
So far ….
What is BNB Chain:
Previously known as the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), BNB Chain is a community-driven, decentralized, and censorship-resistant blockchain that is powered by Binance.

BNB Chain's Zero2Hero Hackathon is receiving support from AWS, Google Cloud, and Tencent Cloud, as well as several Web3 partners, for an upcoming blockchain hackathon where participants will compete for cash prizes and a chance to join the incubator program.
Major Tech & Web3 Support
BNB Chain has announced the Zero2Hero Hackathon, the second phase of its six-month online Bootcamp-Hackathon-Incubator program.
The hackathon will take place from April 17th to May 14th, and has garnered support from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Tencent Cloud as key strategic technology partners. The event aims to bring together blockchain professionals and developers from around the world to collaborate on projects and solutions that will help advance the blockchain industry.

“As part of the 6-month Builder Series, the Zero2Hero Hackathon is an exciting opportunity for developers to showcase their skills and compete with the best in the industry. With the support of our strategic technology partners, including AWS, Google Cloud and Tencent Cloud, as well as our Web3 partners such as Chainlink Labs and Axelar, we are excited to bring together a community of talented developers and innovative projects,” said Zoe Wei, Head of Developer Relations at BNB Chain.
BNB Chain has also partnered with several leading Web3 companies for this hackathon, including Chainlink Labs, Axelar, Nodereal, Polyhedra, Hacken, RSS3, and Port3. The hackathon will feature seven tracks, including DeFi, Infra & Scalability, SocialFi, Cross-chain, NFT, Gamify & Metaverse, Greenfield and Innovation.
