Scalping - no trend days

[Oscar_0]

Hi Forex Scalpers,

This question might be wrong all together but I need your ideas.

1- Do you have any bad scalping days where you don't see any trends or whatever you do doesn't look as amazing as you like so you get forced to set on the sidelines for long?

2- And if you do have those days, how many days would you say are good in a year and how days are bad like that for you?

Some might say trends don't apply to scalping as it's in and out by frequency. That is fine. I can hear that side as well.

Thanks,
​

Absolutely, bad scalping days happen when market conditions are flat or unpredictable. Many scalpers experience several tough days throughout the year. Personally, I’d say around 20-30% of my days can feel unproductive, while 70-80% are good, with clear opportunities. Adapting to market conditions is key for success!
