the thing is that i have a system that enter position always with limit orders, in the back testing appear really nice the results, trade too much like 70 trades per day, and the target is two ticks, my question is to know what is solution, or wich platform or lines to use to obtain that results and best and faster execution with this scalping models.
thanks

Hi tradersheldon,

Did you find a way to make this work? I have looked at backtesting with 2-3 ticks target and they look interesting but have never moved forward with them because of very similar questions/concerns like yours. So interested to know how your experience turned out to be. Thanks

A friend of mine had this question, and I left him post his question on here. I really don't know what he is doing. I don't think he is scalping anymore.
