Scalping: trade count or holding time?

 

Is it defined by the number of trades per day, or by how quickly each trade is opened and closed? Some say "many trades," others say "short holding time." What's your take?
 
Hello friend :)

from my experience scalping is about the short holding time , and mainly scalpers use trailing stop not full tp , it is fast execution and tight trailing stops , entering the market get good amount of points 0.5:1 at least and get out (hit and run) , scalping has to have a high win rate because win reward ratio will be less than 1:1 , the number of trades is based on your strategy to get in and out of the markets but it is not a scalping rule.

I think my new EA is shifting from scalping to intraday, and I have no problem with that.
