Can a person realistically make a fortune from scalping stocks?

>realistically
No.

>>1611870
y not?

not consistently. You might have success for a while but will inevitably lose out. Why not just invest long term and then benefit off of dividends that way?

At a certain point liquidity becomes an issue. If you're looking for compounding returns you will find it hard to buy and then quickly sell your shares of companies that have upticked if you're trading with a large sum of money.

Also look up arbitrage profits

I need to actually make the money first. Start with a small sum and keep scalping until I make good gains

Scalping stocks? Yes, if you know how to win more trades than you lose and try not to be an emotional dumbass with an "imaginary" stop loss.

Know how much you're risking willingly beforehand and close all winning trades at least with a 2-1 profit:risk margin

I personally am seeking the scalping lifestyle but with Forex instead of stocks, as Forex isn't subject to the PDT rule.

I've turned $200 into 5 on Robinhood trading gold since March 16. I'm currently down on oil (UWTI) cause I called it wrong, but I've been averaging 12% a month. I think if you have patience it's doable...

$500* wow, I'm retarded.

Theoretically it's possible just like flipping a coin a million times and having it come up heads every single time is possible.

Signed up to Plus500 and made the €25 free signup money into €130 in 2 weeks.

Although if i'm honest they fix the leverage so it feels like casino gambling.

Yes, you can. As long as it isn't an absolute unforgivable pump which nobody can catch even if they are staring at the screen that very moment with their buy offer already put in.

You don't make money in the stock market, you keep it and let it grow.

Unless you have found yourself a little secret advantage and exploit it.

good luck withdrawing that money

Two reasons.

A) Minute fluctuations in stock prices, and even large fluctuations, come from psychological factors. To chart it you'd have to accurately predict the precise behaviour and timing of hundreds of people. These are people you have never met and don't know.

B) It's been tried and dismissed by every credible investor. No one has ever got rich like this.

Arbitrage 'betting'. Do this and matched betting until bookies limit your accounts

few people have done it. Some janitor died with +5mil or smth and a retired IRS woman got from 8k to 12 mill. But well thats like 0.0000000001% success rate

cant withdraw shit until you deposit. Bonuses are a fucking joke

What happens when your stock goes down?

bump, can you realistically make at least in the 100k range if you ride 75% of all the pump & dumps in cryptos? including the low volume ones.
