<h4>Backtest Result (Typical Expectation)</h4>

<ul>
<li><strong>High win-rate</strong> with <strong>small average profit per trade</strong></li>
<li><strong>Occasional drawdown spikes</strong> during volatility or bad fills</li>
<li>Stronger results in trending bursts + clean liquidity periods</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Good for traders who want <strong>short-term trades</strong> and frequent setups</li>
<li>Reduces emotional decision-making through automation</li>
<li>Can perform well in <strong>stable spread + high liquidity</strong> conditions</li>
<li>Easier to monitor vs long swing systems (faster trade cycles)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Disadvantages</h4>
<ul>
<li>Scalpers are <strong>very sensitive to spread, slippage, and execution delay</strong></li>
<li>Results can vary widely between brokers</li>
<li>During news/volatility, it can enter at poor prices if filters are weak</li>
<li>Over-optimization risk (some scalpers look amazing in backtests but fail live)</li>
</ul>
