Definition: The term used for a day trade method where trades are opened and close within a very short time scale, perhaps anything from a second or two to a few minutes.
定义:用于日内短期交易,平仓开仓在很短的时间内完成(一两秒到几分钟)
One who employs this methodology is referred to as a scalper.
受雇于这种的方式的人就叫做刷单员
Frequency
频率
Scalpers tend to make several, perhaps hundreds of trades a day, accruing a number of small profits into a respectable daily total. Losses per trade tend to be minimal, from scratch to a few ticks at most. A scalp trade would certainly never be held overnight.
刷单员往往在一个交易日做些,也许数单,累积了一些小的利润为每日净利润。每笔交易的损失往往是最小的,从小单做到几手最多。每个头寸是绝不会拿过夜的。
Requirements
rice spreads and commissions must be as low as possible in order to reduce the cost of doing business to a realistic proportion of turnover. Data provision and execution must be fast Adequate liquidity A sufficiently large capital base in order to make the small targets and time spent monetarily worthwhile. Scalping is sometimes referred to as 'the quick and the dead', as it takes a lot of mental discipline, intense focus and quick reactions to be able to scalp successfully and most people would agree that it is not for the novice trader.
价差和佣金必须尽可能低的水平,按实际的比例以降低成本,在流动资金相当大的资本基础数据提供和执行必须足够快,以使小目标和花费的时间金钱是值得的。刷单有时也称为'快速、死亡',因为它需要很大的精神纪律,紧张的注意力和快速的反应,以便能够刷单成功。大多数人都知道,这不是新手能轻易做到的。
Scalping Strategies Some scalpers work around the bid/offer, buying on the bid and selling on the offer to pocket the spread, or perhaps a tick or two more. This is perhaps the "purest" form.
刷单策略:一些刷单操作员围绕买入价/卖出价操作,卖价买和买价上卖去挣取差价,可以一手或几手。这就是刷单的“纯粹”形式。
Slightly longer term scalp trades (there's an oxymoron!) are generally taken from three different trading patterns:
稍微长一点的刷单交易(有一个矛盾!)一般采取从三个不同的交易模式:
Breakouts from consolidation
突破
Bounces off support and resistance
反弹支撑和阻力
Retracements in a trend. Retracement scalps may be taken with the trend following a pullback, or, if the trader is sharp and brave, countertrend during the pullback.
趋势中的回调。回调刷单可在趋势后的回调采用,或者,如果交易员够敏锐和勇敢,可以在回落中反趋势而为。
What sets a scalper apart from other traders is that the profit target is likely to be small. While a longer term breakout trader might wait for the breakout to turn into a trend, the scalper will generally be happy to pocket a few points during the frenetic trading activity as the breakout occurs. (S)he may well trade in large size with an eye on the order flow in order to spot the optimum time to enter and exit.
盈利的目标很可能很小是一个刷单员有别于其他交易员区别。虽然较长期的突破交易员可能等待突破变成趋势,刷单员通常会很乐意在猛烈突破行情的时候小挣几笔。他很可能交易的量很大并着眼于盘口数据,以实现的最佳时机进入和退出。
Some traders will scale out most of their position for a scalp but leave some on, in order to capitalise on further price movement, should it appear. Different market conditions often require different approaches so scalping can be a tool in the trader's box as opposed to the method always used.
一些交易员会平掉大部分仓位,但会留下一些,以便进一步利用价格波动,如果出现。不同的市场条件往往需要不同的方法,所以刷单是交易员盒子里的一个工具交易,而不是经常使用的方法。
In most cases, and certainly for the shortest term of scalps, traders will require some knowledge of the order book, coupled with time and sales and possibly also Level II. Some scalpers work principally off the order book, reading the tape rather than making purely chart-based entries and exits.
在大多数情况下,当然也为最短的刷单,交易员们将需要一些盘口知识,加上时间、买卖及LEVEL 2。一些刷单员的工作主要是从盘口,看盘口而不是纯粹的以图表为基础进行进和出。

获胜概率高。

Scalping: Small Quick Profits Can Add Up
by Vadym Graifer
Scalping is a trading style specializing in taking profits on small price changes, generally soon after a trade has been entered and has become profitable. It requires a trader to have a strict exit strategy because one large loss could eliminate the many small gains that the trader has worked to obtain. Having the right tools such as a live feed, a direct-access broker and the stamina to place many trades is required for this strategy to be successful.
刷单是一种专门在小价格变化获利的交易,一般在入场后不久就已经有利润。它要求交易员有严格的退出战略,因为一个大的损失可以消除许多小的成果交易已获得。也要有正确的工具,如实时数据,与券商的直接通道和足够多的交易员也是这一战略成功的关键。
Scalping is based on an assumption that most stocks will complete the first stage of a movement (a stock will move in the desired direction for a brief time but where it goes from there is uncertain); some of the stocks will cease to advance and others will continue. A scalper intends to take as many small profits as possible, not allowing them to evaporate. Such an approach is the opposite of the "let your profits run" mindset, which attempts to optimize positive trading results by increasing the size of winning trades while letting others reverse. Scalping achieves results by increasing the number of winners and sacrificing the size of the wins. It's not uncommon for a trader of a longer time frame to achieve positive results by winning only half or even less of his or her trades - it's just that the wins are much bigger than the losses. A successful scalper, however, will have a much higher ratio of winning trades versus losing ones while keeping profits roughly equal or slightly bigger than losses.
刷单是基于一个假设,即大多数股票将完成第一阶段的运动(股票将在希望的方向进行了短暂的时间,但从哪里开始是不确定的);一些股票将不再前进而其他将继续下去。一个刷单交易员会尽可能的采取许多小的利润,而不是让他们消失。这种做法“让你的利润不断加速扩大”的心态相反,企图以优化的积极成果交易,增加获利交易的规模,减少亏损的规模。刷单取得的成果,增加获利单的数量和牺牲大的获利空间。交易员较长的时间内取得积极成果且获得只有一半或甚至更少的交易是很平常的-它只是说,胜则远远大于损失。一个成功的刷单员,但将有高胜率的获利单比率,同时保持利润大致相等或略大于损失。
The main premises of scalping are:
Lessened exposure limits risk - A brief exposure to the market diminishes the probability of running into an adverse event.
Smaller moves are easier to obtain - A bigger imbalance of supply and demand is needed to warrant bigger price changes. It is easier for a stock to make a 10 cent move than it is to make a $1 move.
Smaller moves are more frequent than larger ones - Even during relatively quiet markets there are many small movements that a scalper can exploit.
Scalping can be adopted as a primary or supplementary style of trading.
刷单的主要纪律是:
减少接触限值的风险-以简短的接触减少市场运行到不良事件的概率。
小波动更容易获利-不平衡的供应和需求是需要更大的价格变动来保证。对于一支股票来讲价格变动10美分是比变动1美元要容易得多。
小波动远多于较大的-即使在相对平静的市场,一个刷单员也可以利用这之间的很多小波动
刷单可以作为一个主要的或补充的交易风格。
Primary Style
A pure scalper will make a number of trades a day, between five and 10 to hundreds. A scalper will mostly utilize one-minute charts since the time frame is small and he or she needs to see the setups as they shape up as close to real time as possible. Quote systems Nasdaq Level II, TotalView and/or Times and Sales are essential tools for this type of trading. Automatic instant execution of orders is crucial to a scalper, so a direct-access broker is the favored weapon of choice.
专业的刷单员在一个交易日会交易很多次,5次,10次乃至数百次。刷单员将主要利用一分钟的图表,因为时间周期短且他(她)需要看到设置它们形状为接近实时的。纳斯达克报价系统LEVEL 2TotalViewTIMES AND SALES是这种交易类型必不可少的工具。对于刷单员,即时自动执行的命令是至关重要的,所以直接成为经纪商青睐的首选武器。
Supplementary Style
Traders of other time frames can use scalping as a supplementary approach in several ways. The most obvious way is to use it when the market is choppy or locked in a narrow range. When there are no trends in a longer time frame, going to a shorter time frame can reveal visible and exploitable trends, which can lead a trader to scalp.
交易员在其他时间内可以利用刷单作为一种补充办法,有几个方面。最明显的办法是使用它时,市场波动局限在一个狭窄的范围内。当在较长时间周期里没有任何的趋势时,在较短的时间周期里可以发现震动和可利用的趋势,从而指引交易员刷单。
