Scalping and Prop Firm Rules

Understand the idea

Scalping involves short holding periods and small price moves. Fees, spreads, slippage, execution speed, and restrictions can materially affect the result. Fast decisions do not make it an easier beginner route.

A decision to think through

Compare a planned entry with a late chase. A small target can leave little room for transaction costs or an unexpected fill.
