Skalper

Skalper is a term that can refer to several things, most commonly a person who engages in scalping, a trading strategy. In financial markets, a scalper is a day trader who aims to make many small profits on a security by entering and exiting trades very quickly. These trades can last from seconds to minutes. Scalpers use leverage to increase their potential profits, but this also increases their risk. They typically rely on technical analysis and look for very small price changes.

The term "scalper" can also be used in other contexts, sometimes with a negative connotation. It might refer to someone who buys goods at a low price and resells them at a higher price, often exploiting demand. This can be seen in situations like concert ticket resales, where individuals buy large quantities of tickets and sell them at inflated prices. In some video game communities, a "scalper" might be a player who exploits game mechanics or glitches to gain an unfair advantage. The specific meaning of "skalper" often depends on the context in which it is used.
