Best Broker for Forex Scalping

When choosing a Forex Broker to run your Scalping Strategy or Scalping Robot, there are important questions that all traders must ask themselves and the broker before getting started.

Below are the most asked questions our support team receive from new Scalpers and EA traders at Yadix, all of which are crucial for a successful or profitable Forex Scalper.


Yadix delivers lightening fast and low latency order execution by using the Equinix Financial Exchange, a leading Financial Services technology provider.
The Equinix NY4 server facility is located at the heart of New York’s financial centre and through this technology, all clients trades will now be executed through the large network of trading hubs and bank servers, located in the Equinix data centres.


A deep pool of liquidity is provided through top FX Banks that compete for your forex trades and deliver the lowest spreads to Yadix clients. Multiple providers of liquidity ensure that there are no strategy restrictions giving you the freedom to scalp as aggressively as you want.
 Some of the leading Liquidity Providers competing for your trades: UBS, Citibank, JP Morgan, Bank of America, Deutsch Bank, Barclays Bank


The combination of Equinix technology and the a large pool of liquidity ensure that your orders are being filled as fast as possible to the biggest liquidity providers, as such orders are executed extremely accurately including tight stop loss and take profit filling.


As a true Inter-bank broker (DMA, ECN, STP), Yadix can deliver no restrictions on any pending orders or order modification. Unlike dealing desk brokers, Yadix gives its clients the ability to trade without a minimum level of pips on stop loss, take profit or any pending order types. There are also no time limits on the time that your orders need to remain open. Ideal for Forex Scalpers.


As we all know, low spreads are not just important, but a major factor in all Forex trading strategies. At Yadix, we offer two account types that offer Raw Spreads (the spread that the Broker receives from the liquidity providers). These Raw spreads are passed on to clients (without any mark up) on the Pro and Scalper accounts. This ensures low cost and the most accurate triggering of orders when using an EA or Automated trading strategy.


Slippage is generally reported as a negative aspect of trading on the interbank market, however, you rarely read about positive slippage. Positive slippage is when an order is executed at a more positive price to give the trader additional profits on a pending order.

Both positive and negative slippage is a factor that all traders need to consider and cannot be avoided when trading real Forex markets. Furthermore, there are no brokers that can guarantee slippage, unless they employ market making tactics.

When trading economic market data releases, there are a few steps to help traders being affected by slippage, they are using a VPS, balance trading and take into account slippage and avoid trading during these highly volatile periods. After all, when trading on the true Forex markets, slippage is part of trading and cannot be controlled or compensated.


When trading on the DMA, STP or ECN Forex model, you are guaranteed no re-quotes, stop loss hunting and other strategies that are employed by market makers to ensure that they profit from your losses.

The interbank model is as pure a model of trading forex as is possible. The broker does not benefit from losses and therefore, its interest is in helping its clients generate higher Forex volumes. Yadix provides many beneficial conditions and trading tools to help you grow into a better, more profitable Forex trader.


The Yadix commitment is to execute all deposits and withdrawals as soon as possible. On your first deposit, our back office performs all relevant checks in accordance to procedures set by the Forex regulators. Thereafter, all subsequent deposits are added instantly to your MT4 account.

Best Broker for EA Trading

Why is Yadix considered to be the best broker for Expert Advisors Forex traders using ?  The answer is in the Brokers model.

Yadix operates a Direct Market Access brokerage (also known as STP or ECN), this allows Yadix to provide a leading service, trading conditions and Forex environment that guarantees NO trading restrictions for EA users, Forex Scalpers and profitable forex traders.

Forex traders may ask themselves, what’s the difference between Yadix Forex Broker and other brokers available on the market? There are several key elements that deliver Yadix clients a distinct trading advantage. However, there are all implemented with one goal – to provide the best Forex platform for these traders:

DMA/STP/ECN Order Execution

Direct Market Access order execution means that every order is executed directly to the REAL FOREX MARKET, and unlike a market making or dealing desk broker, you are not trading on a virtual market and there are definitely No Conflicts of Interests.

The DMA is highly beneficial as there are no opportunities for the broker to manipulate your order, price feeds or speeds of execution. All orders are executed to leading FX banks that act as liquidity providers in the real forex market place.

Leading Technology – Faster Forex Order Execution

Yadix utilises the Equinix Financial Exchange to ensure the fastest possible order execution and the lowest latency.  This leading technology is very beneficial, especially for Expert Advisors and Scalping traders.
The Equinix NY4 server facility is located at the heart of New York’s financial centre and through this technology, all clients trades will now be executed through the large network of trading hubs and bank servers, located in the Equinix data centres. This eliminates the time it takes to execute your Forex trades once they have been received by us.

Typically, the average execution speed for clients on the Equinix Financial Exchange is around One Millisecond. For clients using the Yadix VPS, the execution speeds are reduced to less than One Millisecond.

Anonymous Trading

As Yadix delivers a true no conflict of interest trading environment to its clients, it is in our interest that our clients make profits and trade greater forex volumes. To assist in this aspect, Yadix executes all Forex Orders directly to the Liquidity Providers totally anonymously to ensure that your SL, TP and pending order information is not visible by the Liquidity Providers to ensure the most accurate order filling, and just as important, to ensure that the final liquidity providers cannot hunt stop losses.

Best Forex Trading Conditions


Yadix offers a range of forex accounts that have been made available with our traders in mind. Whilst each account rewards traders’ styles differently, one thing is consistent. That is that each account boasts some amazing trading conditions included in the list below:

Yadix Forex Broker – Direct Market Access Forex Order Execution

Yadix Forex Broker operates a true no conflict of interest and the most transparent Forex business model that is available in the market today.

We understand that most Forex traders are accustomed to the market maker or dealing desk Forex brokers, however, we believe that the transparent model of STP/DMA/ECN is the future of the retail and institutional Forex trading.

From experience, we understand that many retail Forex traders do not fully understand the differences between the two Forex order flows, however, all of our professional support staff and account managers are fully trained to help in education and to assist whenever needed.

DMA/STP/ECN Forex model and order execution flow is a process that cuts out the element of a middle-man and in essence, it means that the client is trading directly with the selection of liquidity providers (leading FX banks) that compete for your orders. The leading FX Banks that provide the liquidity act as the market makers in this model. All of orders are executed to the real market place, unlike a market maker, where clients trade on a virtual market.

In the DMA/STP/ECN model, the broker does not employ a dealing desk, does not profit from clients losses and does not use plug-ins to manipulate the markets and clients orders. Smaller profits are made by the broker in the difference between the bid and the ask price...the spread, or through a small commission charged on ECN accounts.  

DMA/STP/ECN is more beneficial because traders can rest assured that there is no conflict of interest or manipulation from the broker such as re-quotes or delays in executing opening or closing orders.


ECN and STP/DMA are nearly identical in the way orders are executed, however, many STP brokers offer interbank execution to one or dual liquidity providers that may cause issues in the execution qualities and higher pricing in times of volatility.  ECN brokers tend to have a pool of liquidity that gives more quality order fills that single liquidity STP brokers. When choosing and STP/DMA broker, make sure that the broker has a deep pool of liquidity, with 5 or more FX banks providing the liquidity to execute your orders.


Yadix Forex Broker currently relies on 12 leading banks and hedge funds for the deepest liquidity DMA broker. The depth of liquidity allows Yadix to deliver institutional real market order execution to retail and institutional clients.

By relying on the real Forex Market and with a wide selection of specialist liquidity providers allows us to provide our clients with very important trading advantages such as:

  1. No Trading Strategy Restrictions – We welcome Scalpers, profitable traders and all other strategies
  2. No Stop Level or Limits – All pending orders can be set at zero levels away from your order opening price – this means you are in full control of your profits
  3. Scalper Account – Our account for Forex Scalpers is supported with RAW Spread trading and specialist Liquidity Providers 
  4. No Strategy Discrimination – Your Profitable Forex Trading Strategy will never be restricted, manipulated against or banned
  5. Anonymous order Execution – Your orders are executed as Yadix, never as an individual to help disguise your profitable trading strategy
  6. Forex Profit Withdrawals – Your profits can be withdraw at anytime without restrictions – All withdrawals are completed on the SAME DAY

To help support our business model with the fastest, lowest latency Forex order execution, Yadix partners with the Equinix Financial Exchange and shares its technology with the leading Wall Street FX Banks that provide liquidity.

Equinix reduces latency by using global trading servers, this delivers the fastest order execution to Yadix clients no matter their location. Typical order execution is under 2 milliseconds (tested globally). Clients can reduce their order execution quality and speed to a fraction of one millisecond (order execution under 1 MS) by using the FREE Yadix VPS facility.
