Try not to scalp alot, since the companies that use MetaTrader have zero policy on scalpers.
They just dont want them. Be careful, if they track your account they have the ability to close it.
They will just say you are too good for them and thats it

Don't scalp with Metatrader
In general Metatrader has some latency issues, which means it is not ideal for brokers who wish to allow scalping. I would think that the best brokers for scalping are the ones using the new "Real Stream Margin" platform from Cognotec because it has no delay at all..

I was just wondering....maybe stupied question....why dont they want ppl to scalp?
I mean, they make their money on the spread so they should make more money on a guy that do 50 trades per day than one who does 2 trades.
Is it that scalpers block up their system with to many trades or what?

Because you can scalp and have advantage against real-time prices updates.
All spreading companies + CFD's get feed from somewhere, etc. Reuters,UBS,Barclays.
also scalpers can take advantage over figures
talking about arbirtageIts a bit strange though because Scalping,is defined to be a fraudulent form of market manipulation or a legitimate method of arbitrage of small price gaps created by the bid-ask spread.

Some examples of scalping:
1. Market gaps.
Taking advantages of stop’s.:
a. IF it goes up (buy stop can be triggered if off market)
b. IF it goes down (sell stop can be triggered if off market)
2. The price feed is delayed in the platform you are trading, so you know the next price before it arrives. Therefore you can go long or short and then the market will react accordingly.
3. People program black boxes to do that or do it manually
Be careful with the above information. LoL
