# Prop Firms That Allow Scalping

1 futures prop firm we track publishes a policy on scalping. Most restrictions target tick scalping rather than scalping itself — many firms allow scalping while limiting tick scalping specifically. If your entries are sub-second, read the HFT rule (https://propfirmbook.com/futures/rules/hft) too.

## Frequently Asked Questions

At most, yes in some form. 12 of the 31 firms publishing a policy allow scalping outright, 14 allow it with conditions, and 4 prohibit it.

Scalping means taking small profits over short holds. Tick scalping means entering and exiting within seconds, often several times a minute, to capture individual price ticks. Firms commonly allow the first and restrict the second.

Some firms set one. A minimum hold — often measured in seconds — is the usual way a firm separates acceptable scalping from order spam without banning fast trading outright.

No. They are separate rules and a firm can allow one and ban the other. Every CFD firm in our data that publishes an HFT policy prohibits it, including firms that permit manual scalping.

Rules change without notice and vary by account type. Confirm with the firm before you trade.
