Scalping in is a strategy used to maximize profits while managing risk. It involves opening a position with a smaller lot size initially.

If the price moves in your favor, you then "scale in" by adding more positions in the same direction as the original trade.

This approach allows you to gradually increase your exposure, rather than risking all your capital at once, while capitalizing on favorable market movements.
