Pittsburgh,

Thanks for sharing your experiences and knowledge.

There have been a number of discussions on the net as to what constitutes scalping and there isn't really a general consensus. I think we all can agree that straddling the news is something that the brokers don't like and are doing there best to discourage.

Is scalping defined primarily by time? Or is it a combination of time with certain events? Perhaps it seems to be an obvious question, but I'm interested in your take on it.

If I get in with 10 lots and pick off 15 pips in 2 minutes is that what you call "picking"?

Thanks,

Nat
