Allows Scalping

Scalping has various definitions among traders, but is generally agreed to be distinct from High Frequency Trading in that trades are still held for relatively short periods of time, but generally not in milliseconds. Scalp trades are generally when trades are held from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on the time frame that the trader is looking at. The reason why this is a category is because many prop firms do not like scalping and will disallow trades or fail accounts based on it. Each firm has slightly different rules that it is important to check to see if your trading style is a fit.
