I have been wondering the same thing. With a very small starting account balance I have trouble with the larger timeframes due to drawdown. I guess I need to find lower cost pairs so that a 1hr candle in an active market doesn't tap me out.
Don't bother with scalping, it requires to much information and a whole lot of unnecessary education, the big players who make big money are position and swing traders, Less stress and more quality trades that have a higher payout then scalping with a far narrower stop loss.
For those who insist on scalping, there is an excellent video on youtube ' Psych FX - Sam - Free Step by Step Scalping Training - Technical Strategy '. Check them out fantastic content and its free.
Scalping is based on the concept of smaller exposure risk, as each trade's real-time in the market is relatively short, reducing the possibility of a large change due to an adverse occurrence. Furthermore, it believes that smaller moves are easier to obtain than larger ones and that smaller moves occur more frequently.

Trading is a disciplined activity that rewards patience. While those that succeed at scalping do have these attributes, they are in the minority. Most traders benefit from a longer-term perspective, smaller position sizes, and a slower tempo of activity.
Look for pullback or breakout opportunities. They are often accompanied by an increase in momentum which for a short period of time makes the market a bit more predictable and skew odds in your favour. However such conditions occur not so frequently and do not last long.
