I wouldn’t go there. It’s bloody difficult and not worth the effort in my opinion.
– As a retail trader you won’t get the execution speeds of institutional investors (even with a fast internet connection and a VPS)
– The costs can eat all your profits unless your account is large enough to get favorable rates (think rebates for high order volumes)
– So many brokers and their platforms are not built for scalping or they don’t let you do it (Plus500 and eToro don’t)
– It’s hard to develop and use the advanced-level algos and hardware institutional investors have, especially without a significant investment in technology that many retail investors can’t manage.
