Brokers for Scalping — What We Can and Cannot Tell You
Scalping opens and closes many positions inside seconds or minutes, so the cost of one round trip — spread plus commission — matters more than anything else on a broker's brochure. A page that ranks brokers for scalping should therefore rank them on those costs.
We do not publish those costs yet. Rather than invent them, this page shows the records we do hold, ranked by our published desk score, and names every scalping fact that is still missing so you can see the gap instead of guessing at it.
Broker records we publish
Ordered by the traderpublic desk score on each record. Records our desk has not scored are not ranked here.
This order is our published desk score. It is NOT a scalping ranking: no spread, commission or execution figure on this page has been measured, so nothing here says one broker scalps better than another.

Licences we checked ourselves
This is the part of the page that rests on evidence: each licence number was read from the regulator's own public register on the date shown.
Frequently asked questions
Does every broker allow scalping?
No. Some prohibit it outright and others impose a minimum holding time in the account terms. We do not yet publish this per broker, so check the account terms before you deposit.
Why is the cost table empty?
Because traderpublic renders only what our research hub publishes, and the hub does not send trading-cost fields yet. We will not type numbers in ourselves.
Is the order on this page a scalping ranking?
No. It is our published desk score, which covers licensing and the broker overall. Treat it as a starting point, not a scalping verdict.
