Frequently asked
Scalping means entering and exiting trades inside 1-5 minute windows. Profit per trade is small, trade count is high — so a 0.1-pip spread improvement compounds across hundreds of trades and can flip a losing system into a profitable one.
For scalpers, yes. Standard accounts bake commission into the spread (~1.0+ pip). Raw + commission lands at roughly 0.6-0.8 pip all-in — meaningfully cheaper at scalper-level volume.
No. Some Market Maker brokers will restrict or close accounts that scalp or news-trade aggressively. Always confirm scalping/EA is allowed in the broker’s terms before depositing.
