Is scalping supported?

Scalping is not necessarily supported on C2. However, for Trade Leaders who wish to continue trading in this fashion, we offer the following tips to ensure that your subscribers have a good AutoTrading experience with your strategy:

  1. Try to avoid canceling signals when they are just about to fill. They may be canceled, then subsequently filled, which will result in slippage in client accounts.

  2. Try to avoid trading during brokerage firms' daily maintenance periods. Times vary between brokers.

  3. Try to avoid sending limits that are too close to the bid/ask. Marketable signals that fill instantly on C2 will be converted to market in client accounts.
