I dont think playing LAG or TAG is going to make you a good scalper. Its going to affect how much % you risk per trade (how many Big blinds/ table stakes) and your volatility (variance/risk of ruin).

just read and learn do the same think like with poker. Start with play money, go to small money tables and work your way up to bigger tables. Same idea for trading.

yeah i've started with a mini $1000 forex account n learning. reading a lot too.currently using 5% of total account trading rule.

Are you really betting 5% of your account on any one trade??? Have you calculated your Risk of Ruin betting that much? (assuming you know your expectation for each trade).

You are never in the wrong place... but sometimes you are in the right place looking at things in the wrong way.

I think anyone who is a LAG player in poker will want lot of action trading... which will generally mean many small trades on a short timeframe.

i m just beginner,so experimenting.i like more action n believe in aggressiveness-to win big,u've to risk big.
yeah there's chance of downswing.but most newbies blow their balance quickly,right?
if not working,i'll gear down.

To win big, you must minimize risk, not invite it. Just because most of us have blown an account or two does not mean you have to follow in our footsteps.... or does it.

Looking forward to updates.

Well i always played TAG so... cant really relate. That may be true. However i feel like TAG goes for higher probability. + ev plays that happen less frequently vs LAG goes for more low probably +ev plays or even -ev assuming you can use aggressive moves to force an opponent with a better hand to fold.

Unfortunately you can not out bully the market like you can out bully a poker opponent. However the taste for action may be correct.
