Tiny moves, lots of them. The bot hunts the same 0.1 to 0.3 percent wiggle that BTC makes a hundred times a day and exits in seconds. In liquid conditions, high-frequency fills can accumulate across a session - the same tight stop keeps losers from compounding the other way.
What it costs

How it works
The Scalper targets very small, frequent price moves. It enters and exits within seconds to minutes, aiming to capture the spread or a few ticks of momentum on each trade. Speed, tight risk controls, and high trade frequency are the operational levers this strategy uses to manage slippage and fee drag in liquid conditions.

Strategy profile
A snapshot of how this strategy behaves and who it suits, not a forecast of returns.
These are our assessments of strategy character, not user-specific performance figures.
This is not a head-to-head race against co-located HFT shops, and it should not be framed as one. The viable edge is spread capture plus strict fee discipline on liquid pairs - not out-running market makers on latency. Scalping a CEX from consumer-grade infrastructure only makes sense where the spread is consistently wider than your costs. Run on BTC/ETH-tier liquidity, watch your fee ratio like a hawk, and treat the live analytics as a fuel gauge - not a profit promise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick glossary
Definitions for the trading terms used on this page.
- Backtest
- A simulation of how a strategy would have performed on historical price data. Past results never guarantee future returns - markets change.
- Slippage
- The difference between the price you expect and the price you actually get when an order fills. Worse on illiquid pairs and during fast markets.
- Spread
- The gap between the best buy price (bid) and the best sell price (ask). Tight spreads = liquid market, wider spreads = more cost per round trip.
- Stop-loss
- An automatic exit order that closes a losing position when price hits a chosen threshold. Caps how much one bad trade can hurt you.
- Take-profit
- An automatic exit order that closes a winning position once price reaches a chosen target. Locks in gains without relying on you to watch the chart.
- Volatility
- How sharply price moves. High volatility = bigger swings in both directions, which means more opportunity but also more drawdown risk.
