Scalping

In the forex trading space, scalping is essentially exploiting platform vulnerabilities—leveraging differences in quote sources, server speeds, and internet latency, as well as price discrepancies across different platforms. It’s about getting in and out fast, using extremely high leverage and lightning speed to capture fleeting price differences.

As you can see, when arbitrage is deterministic, you can amplify leverage. In other words, investors pay a premium for certainty.
