Scalping

Scalping is a trading style that seeks small but frequent profits from very short-duration trades, generally lasting seconds to a few minutes. It's one of the most demanding styles in terms of execution and trading conditions, making it crucial to choose a prop firm with adequate infrastructure for this type of trading.

When looking for prop firms for scalping, the most important factors are: ultra-low spreads (every pip counts in scalping), fast execution speed, no minimum time restrictions per trade, and competitive commissions. Some firms that allow scalping impose a minimum trade open time (e.g., 30 seconds or 1 minute), which can affect very aggressive scalping strategies. Verify these restrictions before committing.
