Hello, I am five month old in the forex world. I am yet to know some majors in this business. So, I would love to scalp actually after seeing that my broker allows it without restriction. My question to you all is this: What is the best conditions for scalping? Any ideas or tricks to succeed with short terms trades?

Condition for scalping includes: Low spreads, Rare slippage experience, Fast platform and low commission to your broker. If you want to scalp, an offshore broker would be best.

My broker gives me 500:1 leverage, which I use without any restriction. Their platform is very good as well. Please tell me what kind of chart or indicators would be good for scalping?

5mins - 1hour charts would be suitable for scalping as it gives you price movement for the duration you have in mind.

I quite agree with you, especially on fast platform, the speed can play a major factor on how well we scalp. The platform can bail out on us, and things would definitely go bad. But I think he should not have problems with this since the broker he has mentioned has a very fast and speedy execution.

I am using Armada Markets. I mostly trade EUR/USD. On Exchange average account total cost with commission is 0.8 pips

That is a variable spread for sure. How much do they charge per trade. I mean what is their trading commission for using variable spreads?

0.8 spread is always said to be average. I have noticed that these spreads are usually high. Variable spreads can be dangerous for long term positions.

Does your broker offer lower spread that is good enough for scalping? What about slippages, what can you say about that? I hate slippages and it is not good for scalpers.

You may scalp only with the 5 digit quotation and the commission charge is 0.3 pips for a whole deal. Sure, Profiforex has very low spreads good enough for your trading strategy. Slippage is a common market occurrence.

Of course, the most important thing in scalping - speed of execution. Therefore, it is to go in scalping with the broker, which has ECN account. For example, FreshForex offers such an account. It allows you to have instant execution of orders and have no requotes at all.

Are you trading on this ECN from FreshForex? I know that they have zero spread on EUR/USD pair, what currency pair do you prefer?
