Scalping

Scalping is a trading style focused on taking many small, quick trades throughout the day, each targeting a very small price move — often just a few pips — and closing within seconds to minutes. It relies heavily on tight spreads and fast execution, since transaction costs eat into the small profit margin of each trade far more than they would for a longer-term strategy. Scalping demands intense focus and low-latency infrastructure, and some brokers restrict or discourage it, so it's worth confirming a broker's policy before building a strategy around it.
