FXMARE may receive compensation from some brokers listed on this page when you click a tracked link and open an account. Sponsored placements are clearly labelled. Compensation may affect which brokers we feature and where, but it does not affect our independent ratings or rankings, which follow our review methodology, and it never costs you more. See affiliate disclosure and how we make money.
Between 74% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs.
You should consider whether you understand how CFDs and leveraged products work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. FXMARE is not a broker and does not offer these products; figures are indicative of those disclosed by regulated providers. This page is information, not financial advice.

Scalping lives and dies on execution quality and cost. Because scalpers open and close many trades for small increments, even fractions of a pip in spread or a few milliseconds of latency compound quickly. The accounts on this editorial shortlist focus on raw or near-zero spreads with transparent commissions, fast order routing and platforms that welcome automated and high-frequency strategies.
Rankings below reflect the opinion of the FXMARE Research Team, scored against our published methodology rather than paid placement. They are a starting point for your own due diligence, not financial advice — and you should always confirm a broker permits scalping and EAs on the specific account you intend to use, since policies differ by entity. Leveraged trading carries a high risk of losing money rapidly.
Availability: Scalping and EA policies, regulated entity and account terms vary by country and account type — always confirm the broker accepts clients in your jurisdiction and permits your strategy before signing up.
Why it makes the list: Built around true raw-spread pricing and deep liquidity, with MT4, MT5 and cTrader plus infrastructure aimed at low-latency execution — a long-standing favourite for scalpers and algo traders. Raw-spread specialist with deep liquidity and full MetaTrader + cTrader support — a long-time favourite of scalpers and algo traders.
Why it makes the list: Razor-account raw spreads, no minimum deposit and broad platform support (MT4, MT5, cTrader, TradingView) make it EA- and scalper-friendly without locking you into one stack. Multi-regulated ECN-style broker with raw spreads and the widest platform choice — MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView.
Why it makes the list: Multiple execution models and four platforms (MT4, MT5, cTrader and its own Edge terminal) give fast-trading clients flexibility to match their strategy to the right account type. Long-established, FCA/CySEC-regulated broker with the full platform set — MT4, MT5, cTrader and FxPro Edge.
Why it makes the list: StoneX-backed and NFA-regulated, with commission-based raw pricing options and MT4/MT5/TradingView support — a US-friendly route for scalpers who want a large, established counterparty. StoneX-owned, US-friendly broker with strong regulation, a deep market range and a choice of pro platforms.
Every broker on this list is independently scored against our published broker review methodology— regulation and safety, trading costs, platforms, instruments, deposits and withdrawals, support and country availability. Rankings are editorial and are never sold; sponsored placements are always labelled. Figures are indicative and vary by entity and jurisdiction — always confirm current terms on the broker's own site.
Trading forex, CFDs and crypto involves significant risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Leverage can work against you, and most retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs. The information on FXMARE is general, is not personal financial advice, and does not account for your objectives or circumstances. Verify all terms with the broker and the relevant regulator before opening an account. See our full risk disclosure.
Scalpers need low all-in trading costs (raw spreads plus a transparent commission), fast and reliable order execution, minimal slippage and re-quotes, and a platform that allows scalping and Expert Advisors. Low-latency infrastructure and deep liquidity also help, because scalping strategies are sensitive to even small delays and price differences.
The brokers on this list are generally known for accommodating high-frequency styles and automated strategies, but rules can vary by entity and account type. Always read the broker's terms and confirm directly that scalping and EAs are permitted on the specific account you plan to open before you start.
Often, but not always. Raw or zero-spread accounts charge a per-trade commission on top of a near-zero spread, so the right choice depends on your trade size and frequency. Compare the total cost — spread plus commission — for your typical position, and factor in execution quality, since slippage can outweigh small headline savings.
These are our editorial picks based on the FXMARE broker review methodology — not a guarantee of results or a claim of universal superiority. The most suitable broker depends on your country, strategy and the platforms you use, so treat this list as a research starting point rather than definitive advice.
