How To Choose The Best Scalping System
A Forex scalping trading system is not something whereby you can achieve success through mere luck. Instead, it is a combination of the different features of the Forex market, which display profitable trading, and which influences the most fundamental dynamics of the currency market. Any FX scalping system focuses on exact movements which occur in the currency market.

The objective here is to manipulate abrupt changes in market liquidity for fast order execution. Successful scalping is not related to trends, but it is dependent on volatility and unpredictability. However, scalping involves accumulating small profits over day trading; frequently creaming off small profits from small price movements in the currency market.

As profits tend to be so small, almost all scalping methods use a bigger than normal leverage choice. As high leverage leads to upward risk, many scalping models use down gearing. Leverage use encompasses high risks, but as scalping methods are reliable in their use of a stop-loss, a higher leverage ratio may be acceptable.

Using high leverage is particularly risky during news releases or non-farm payroll, wherein wide spreads can occur and the stop-loss might not be triggered. To prevent this, it is advisable to use a leverage ratio in a scalping strategy during periods of high unpredictability.The Forex scalping system demands a certain level of mental endurance. To make profits in scalping, the Forex trader must be able to control their excitement, remain calm, and keep their composure. Emotional responses to risky activities can cause traders to make bad Forex business decisions.

Scalping the market is one of the least risky ways to trade Forex. Nonetheless, it is still important to have a solid trading strategy. Profitable scalping must understand market conditions and Forex trading risks. Traders always have to keep in mind that they shouldn't trade more than they can afford to lose. Trading beyond your safety limits may lead to damaging decisions. For the interests of building a fruitful trading method or style, be careful not to take enormous risk, and be sure to exercise risk management in your trading.

In order to be successful in Forex trading, traders should focus on developing a properly calculated strategy. When starting out in Forex, it is wise to take small steps and gain experience. Gaining profit in Forex mostly relies on market conditions. Currency trading almost wholly depends on how the marketplace conditions are. Accordingly, scalping often denotes difficult trading market conditions - and scalping systems need to fully understand and be able to adapt to the changing nature of the market.

For the best Forex scalping systems, traders should first define their goals. Of course, the purpose of entering the market for traders is to gain profit, but when scalping you have to remember that the profits will be low. No matter what style a trader chooses for their trading, they need to make sure it suits them and that they feel comfortable with it. A well thought, disciplined, and flexible strategy is the main feature of any successful scalping system.

If scalping system shows good results from backtesting, low sharpe ratio and robustness in different samples (like sample which contains prices only London or Asian sessions or samples with different volatility levels, spreads) then you can expect that it will reproduce good performance in the future. But practice shows it's hard to find such system.
 
When it comes to choosing a scalping system make sure your system has high execution speed and your currency pair has enough liquidity. I prefer scalping EUR/USD in 1M, and 1 M time frames.
