Broker for scalping

  • First Post: Edited 2:39pm Feb 28, 2018 2:28pm | Edited 2:39pm
Hello guys,
I am looking for an ECN broker which offers LOWEST spreads (i open 30-50 positions a day, most of them EURUSD)
What I found was old threads and posts, that is why I started new one

I am client of Activtrades (usually 0.5 on EURUSD) for now and applied for LMAX account
Maybe there are scalpers around here who could share their experience. Appreciate it !


Thanks for any valuable information, stay green

activ is not bad at all i think..
with fxcm i have no experience but looking pretty good, ninjatrader platform and good condition spread like 0,1 and commision based on volumina from 30eur/mio halfturn up to 12eur ..only problem the company is in much financial struggle at the last years because they loose license in the us...
do you are satisfied with mt4?

i see right now lmax is compatible with ninjatrader, so it should be a better choice..
try ninjatrader plattform if you dont know, it is really good

The broker you mentioned is idel for scalping but you way want to take a look at the reviews for that broker. They not only have had isshes with withdrawals but even deposits by way of paypal may be held for weeks on in. I actuslly tried to deposit with paypal and for 2 trading days no one answered my calls or messages. I then had to put in a claim for fraud with paypal and the funds were reversed almost under 20 mins. I would stay away from this broker and I will upload the proof shortly.

alpari, dukascopy, jfd brokers, whselfinvest, activtrades - all reliable and trusted brokers [why? because many pro traders are trading there, and if they would manipulate charts/spreads, anyone would get to know it fast... as happened with pepsto the last days as I heard]
(ic markets, tickmill, ig markets, xtb, openfx .... I think are also quite good brokers, but everyone has to make his own experience with them)
Check page 1 for all infos...

Regarding Tickmill, I'm interested to hear your opinion about them, just to make sure you didn't encounter any problems. Thanks

Impossible to trade straight on intrebank market from retail platform, too little capital. The relative-size traders like you are aggregated and sent to interbank market, or in worst case b-booked.

Go with Pepperstone or FBS. Both have withdrawals to third party companies like pp, skrill, neteller. From there you know your monemonegy is safe.

i have tried a lot of broker and if you use MT4 the best spread would be found on ICMarkets (typically 0-0.2 pips EURUSD spread during Euro-US session).
their commission is $7 RT/lot but you can find some IB who whould do commission rebate and lowered your commission to $5.5 RT/lot

if you dont want to use MT4 i'd recommend dukascopy, although their spread is higher than ICMarkets (0.2-0.4 pips EURUSD) they have several advantage to their jforex software:
1. open seconds chart. (i use 10 sec chart for execution and 1/5 min for analysis)
2. you can see the depth of their book (not essential but nice to have)
3. you can switch between bid and ask chart - which i found is important for my scalping style.
their commission starts from $7 RT and they have sliding rate for trade volumes.
btw i need to warn you something - first their application process is a pain in the @$$. second, they are member of tax Automatic exchange of information network. so you need to check whether personal or corporate structure would be beneficial for you, especially if you do large numbers.

let me know if you can find another broker who can do better.

For scalping I am using MaximusFx. I am trading with them as they have very low spreads and instant trade execution. Another reason I chose the broker is their charting, it does not create any fake candles which help me for my price action analysis.

I can say, that you're quite an active trader. Not everybody can put so much time in trading. But if you've found such conditions (and believe me, 0.5 is quite good) hold on that broker for now. Actually, take a closer look on new brokers. Most of them will offer very tasty conditions at first.
