Swing vs. Scalping: Who Really Wins?

In the world of trading, data from industry sources often paints a picture that can be misleading for individual traders. Brokers and trading platforms promote high success rates, particularly for more frequent traders like scalpers, but the reality is often far more complex. In this post, we'll break down some of the numbers presented by industry sources and contrast them with independent research to give you a clearer perspective. Industry-Sourced Success Rates According to various industry sources, here’s what the reported success rates look like: Scalper (Under 5-minute operator): Success Rate: 50-70% Reasoning: High trade frequency.

The Hidden Challenges of Options Trading: Why the Odds Are Stacked Against You

Options trading may seem like an exciting way to profit from market movements, but beneath the surface lies a trading environment that is heavily biased against individual traders. Many retail investors jump into options trading unaware of the many disadvantages they face, making it more of a gamble than a calculated investment.

These systems are designed to assess risks, manage exposure, and execute trades with a precision that most individual traders simply can’t match. For an individ...

Throughout history, no one has been able to predict the future of financial markets with complete accuracy. This uncertainty is inseparable from trading, as we can never fully anticipate market movements.  Uncertainty is necessary in trading, as it is the origin of opportunities.

Any unexpected event, such as relevant news or surprising economic data, can alter market conditions and turn an apparently perfect trade into a loss....
