Entry and Execution
You're positioning as attention begins to form, participating briefly, and exiting without hesitation.
There's no room for uncertainty once a trade is taken.
What an entry looks like
Good entries happen when:
Early attention begins to surface
Volume enters quickly
Price reacts immediately
Participation accelerates fast
These entries often feel urgent. Hesitation usually means missing the opportunity.

Timing over precision
Scalp entries aren't about perfect levels. They're about:
Being early to attention
Acting before momentum peaks
Accepting imperfect fills
Waiting for confirmation often results in late entries. Speed creates the edge.
Common entry triggers
Scalpers often enter when:
A tweet begins gaining early traction
Volume spikes aggressively
Price breaks out with follow-through
Multiple traders react at the same time
The window is short. If the move is obvious, you're likely late.
Sizing for scalps
Sizing must be smaller and tighter than narrative holds.
Risk only a small portion per trade
Assume the trade can fail quickly
Avoid oversized positions
Large size increases hesitation. Small size enables clean execution.

Execution discipline
Once you enter:
Follow your plan
Don't second guess
Don't add impulsively
Don't wait for validation
Scalps aren't debates. They're decisions.
What to avoid
Common mistakes that turn scalps into gambling:
Chasing extended moves
Entering without a clear exit plan
Oversizing out of excitement
Hesitating after committing
How execution fits the strategy
Execution defines success in scalping.
Good entries are early, decisive, and sized correctly. If the process feels stressful or chaotic, something is misaligned.
Scalping rewards clarity. If you hesitate, reduce size or step back.
