One of the common myths about scalpers is that they make a lot of money. Like day trading, crypto mining, and scalping, there are a few folks that make a ton of money, a minority of folks that do OK, and then there are the ones that get in over their heads without considering the timing. There is a short window of opportunity that once passed, things quickly go downhill in a hurry. I figure about half of the people scalping end up losing money in the long run from getting caught with overpaid purchases and no higher-priced market for them.
