Spreadbetting firm that allows scalping
Any brokers that allow scalping or trading news with spreadbetting?

All I hear is that scalpers are rejected by most brokers, and best try is to use an ECN broker. What is an ECN broker and where can I find one? Or rather, where can I find a reliable and thrustworthy ECN broker?

Help is appreciated

Also, what can be constituted as scalping? For my trades I scale out alot.. so my firsts are always 5-10 pips only.. and rest are runners. Is that still constitued scalping? Or if you trade price action, trading without scalping is near impossible?!

I am not sure if you're talking at cross-purposes. Scalping is a very defined style of trading.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the difference from scalping and daytrading?
Is there a difference ?

What people normally think of as scalping is just ultra short term trading. In and out really quickly, from a couple of seconds to a few minutes. What the brokers define as scalping, I understand, is looking for pricing errors and taking advantage of them. That's why brokers reject the order or close the account. You would, too!

Nah, to a spreadbet company, a scalper is just someone who makes lots of trades and is consistently profitable. If you're obviously trading cluelessly, I daresay you wouldn't be classified as a scalper even if you opened hundreds of bets a day.

You realise you've just proven my point?
