Scalping Bot Developer for High-Turnover Strategies
Scalping is an execution problem. We build scalpers with hard spread ceilings, time-in-trade limits, and broker-latency profiling—so edge is measured in ticks you can actually capture.
Scalpers die from costs—not bad entries alone
A one-pip target with two-pip average slip is a donation machine. Crypto scalpers ignore maker rebates; FX scalpers run during rollover with triple spread.
- ×Backtests assume zero spread at all times.
- ×Order types wrong for broker—market only when limits were viable.
- ×Overtrading outside liquid sessions balloons costs.
- ×No auto-pause when latency or spread spikes vs baseline.
Cost-aware scalping infrastructure
Live spread and slip trackers adjust aggression; optional maker-first posting; VPS co-location near broker matching engine region.
- Per-trade cost ledger separating signal P&L from execution drag.
- Session profiles for London/NY overlap vs Asia thin hours.
- Max trades per hour/day preventing revenge loops in code.
- Sub-100ms paths on crypto where colocated VPS used.
