    very funny... any other ideas? :)
     
  4. Yes, but you must be very incisive and have a very good edge to do it well.
     

  5. Anyone that can answer your question is clueless ... because you are asking the wrong questions.

  9. HUGE volume scalping FX with IB
     
  10. Scalp USD/JPY with IB.
    0.5 pips spread almost the whole day, several millions of liquidity on
    both sides at the best price level virtually all the time, and if you reach a trading volume
    above 2 billions per month :D , the commission is only $10
    per million.
    You can scalp the sh1t out of them...
