Microscalping refers to a trading tactic where a trader attempts to capture very small price movements using very large size within extremely short time frames, often just a few seconds. The goal is typically to exploit how simulated fills work rather than to execute a sustainable trading strategy. This is not the same as genuine scalping, which involves short-term trades without attempting to manipulate platform behavior.
