What is Scalping?

Scalping is a trading technique where you make quick trades based on small price movements. This tool helps you scalp by predicting whether an asset's future or spot price will go up or down. You can set parameters like the type of instrument, target (TGT), stop loss (SL), and how many times you want to scalp. Then, the system automatically executes and closes the trades according to your settings.
