Sniper Trading

What does it mean when a trader says that he executed a trade through a "sniping" strategy? Can this be done in any asset class? My understanding is that it is just lining up trades and hitting banks all at the same time, not giving them enough time to realise that the market has moved when they try to cover the trade.
