If you are going for average 7 ticks you are paying 13% commission. Thatâs a lot to overcome. Depends on your win loss ratio and your risk reward ratio. If you are going to risk 12 ticks to make 8 you need 65% win ratio to break even. If you are risking 8 ticks to make 8 your have to win 56% to break even. If you are risking 4 ticks to make 8 your have to win 41% to break even.
Just make sure your risk is less than or equal to your reward. For example, if you're scalping for 1/2 pts you have to puke 1/2 pts as well. If your W/L ratio is better to the winning side you make $.
