I have an EA that I run on H1.
I have looked at shortening the time frame so I ran some back tests on M1 - the results were strong.
However on a forward test the brokers commission drained the performance as the dollar value of the commission is 4 times the lot size in dollars.
This seems to be a drawback with scalping unless there are brokers who take more on the slippage and less on the lot size.
So the question is which brokers are most suitable for scalping - and how do their commissions work ???
