In the rules of the CS20008 it is not allowed for scalping (when 25% of Orders are closedwithin the spread....)

when i search in google or other sites there are few descriptions of "what is scalping"

But it seem that few traders have few oppinions.

So,what is the oppinion here, what is scalping?

I guess this question will be also interessted for some other participantsof the CS2008?

Scalping:

.

A trading strategy that a day trader used to make small profits on small price movements. Traders who used this strategy to trade are also known as scalpers.
.

Scalping, when used in reference to trading in securities, commodities and foreign exchange, may refer to (i) a fraudulent form of market manipulation or (ii) a legitimate method of arbitrage of small price gaps created by the bid-ask spread.
.

The practice of trading in and out of the market on very small price fluctuations. A person who engages in this practice is known as a scalper

.

It is their contest, their rules.
