Tick scalping represents the pinnacle of precision trading in the futures market. At its core, tick scalping is a high-frequency trading strategy that focuses on capturing the smallest possible price movements—typically one or two ticks—through numerous rapid trades throughout the trading session. Unlike traditional scalping that targets broader price movements, tick scalping operates at the micro-level of market activity, capitalizing on the bid-ask spread and minute price fluctuations that occur constantly in liquid markets. "Tick scalping isn't about predicting the market; it's about exploiting the micro-movements that happen every second," explains a professional futures scalper with over a decade of experience. "The key is consistency, not magnitude." For futures traders, the tick size is a critical factor. In the E-mini S&P 500 futures contract, for example, each tick represents a $12.50 movement per contract. This means that capturing just one tick can yield $12.50 per contract traded. While this may seem small, the cumulative effect of capturing one tick across hundreds of trades in a single session can be substantial.
