Scalping demands the tightest spreads, fastest execution, and a broker that explicitly allows the strategy. Both XM and Exness permit scalping with no restrictions. Exness is the superior scalping broker: median execution time under 25ms (vs XM's 60-80ms), tighter spreads on all major pairs, and no requotes during our testing. Exness's Raw Spread account offers 0.0 pips starting spread with $3.00 per side commission, making the total cost approximately $6 per standard lot round-trip. XM's Ultra Low account shows 0.6-0.8 pips with zero commission. For high-frequency scalpers, Exness is the definitive choice.
