Broker for scalping?

[workitout]

Through months of research I've narrowed down that if you scalp there's only one way to do it, and that's through a decent robot (none of this $99 rubbish). Most decent EAs are only available through a developer or an EA, sometimes you can get decent forex account managers to trade for you (requires research and they are limited).

Now the next step is to choose a broker that can handle your strategy without manipulation, market making activity, restrictions on trading and other games that they play to generate profits. Through testing and many hours researching, I found that you can only trade and generate profits through scalping on an true STP/DMA broker.

The next challenge are the trading conditions. Naturally, the lower the spreads, the better it is for scalping. Take into consideration that most STPs have their chart prices marked up - that means that if your EA/Robot reads prices off the chart rather than market watch, then you might experience some triggering issues.

My recommendation would be to find a broker with raw spreads and a low commission. The raw spread will give your EA the best possible platform to trigger your orders.

Of course, account conditions and order execution is crucial also. I currently trade with a broker that uses Equinix technology that reduces latency and the execution is super fast. As well, they have specific Liquidity providers who can handle all scalping strategies as well as very good conditions (EUUSD 0.2 -0.5)

I know these brokers are limited, and you won't find them among the biggest brokers lists as 99% of them are alleged market makers. You'll have to work a little harder and dig a little deeper as I did to find them

Hope this input helps you guys find a good broker for scalping?
