Many folks prefer to avoid that psycho environment and play the numbers in a less stressful manner. I couldn't resist commenting on this. The investing public thinks that scalping is a stressful way to trade because of the press. I scalp all day, every day, and think I have the least stressful strategy (or job for that matter) of anyone I know. Quick Story: In fact, I was talking online with another trader last week. We entered the same trade, at the same time. He was in it for a 20-40 min time horizon, while I was in it for my quick scalp. I was out of the trade in about 2 minutes with a nice profit, while he rode it out and ended up just breaking even. After that trade he said "I don't know how you do it, that just seems so stressful." I laughed and pointed out that he was the one worrying about his trade, while I was sitting back being rich, fat, and happy. Can you tell I'm bored... Dustin
