FxPro Scalping — cTrader and Raw+ Checks

Permission to scalp is not the same as a profitable short-term setup. With small targets, spread movement, commission and slippage can matter more than a platform’s marketing label.
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs.

Treat the rulebook and the fill as separate questions
FxPro generally presents scalping as allowed, but the applicable account terms remain the authority. ‘NDD’, ‘ECN’ or cTrader does not mean an order must fill at the visible price when liquidity disappears. Review the current trading conditions before assuming a particular high-frequency technique is acceptable.
Raw+ cost is material on small targets
Raw+ commission is about USD 3.50 per side per standard lot, around USD 7 round turn. Add it to the spread and compare requested versus filled price. A strategy seeking one pip cannot ignore costs that a wider, longer-term trade may absorb.
Test bad conditions, not only clean charts
Check execution around rollover, the weekly open and major releases as well as normal Tokyo or London hours. Stops can fill away from their trigger price in a rapid move. Keep a run of order records with time, size, spread, commission and slippage rather than judging a method from a few favourable fills.
Keep margin pressure out of the experiment
Entity-based leverage can range from roughly 1:30 under CySEC/FCA retail rules to up to 1:500 on an SCB route. Do not use that headline to scale up a scalp. The 75% CFD loss warning is especially relevant when rapid entries allow losses to compound quickly.
Measure the awkward fills too
Count the adverse fills as carefully as the good ones. A short-target method has to survive spread widening, Raw+ commission of about USD 7 round turn per standard lot, and slippage together.
cTrader’s DOM is useful context, not reserved liquidity. News, rollover and the Monday open can all move a stop away from the level you wanted. An “NDD” label does not cancel that.
Rehearse order edits on a demo, then keep first live size modest. Leverage shown as up to 1:500 on one route is not a reason to size as if every session fills cleanly.
Define the trade before you open the DOM
Write the entry idea, invalidation level and maximum cost in advance. Opening cTrader’s DOM first invites improvisation, which is expensive when targets are only a few pips away.
Include Raw+ commission in that maximum cost. About USD 7 round turn per standard lot is enough to turn a “tiny edge” into a break-even habit. If the method only works when every fill is perfect, it is not ready for live size.
Keep the first live week intentionally dull
Use the first live week to confirm costs and order edits, not to recover a demo equity curve. If Raw+ commission and ordinary slippage already consume the target, reduce size or widen the method before adding complexity.
Save a few screenshots of the DOM and the fill prices during busy minutes. They are more honest teaching material than a quiet Sunday quote.
