How it works

Target 5-15 pip moves per trade with 10+ trades daily. Requires Level 2 data, direct market access, tight bid-ask spreads, and a broker with no requotes.

Requirements

  • ECN/STP broker (no dealing desk)
  • Spreads under 0.5 pips
  • Sub-50ms execution speed
  • 2-screen minimum setup

Not for beginners

Scalping amplifies every psychological weakness. Master a longer-term strategy first. Most scalpers fail not from lack of strategy but from emotional control under pressure.
