Best prop firms for scalping
Scalpers get caught by three rules: a minimum trade duration, a high-frequency trading prohibition, and a news-window blackout. This list includes every firm that does not ban expert advisors, hedging or high-frequency trading outright. Most of them still attach conditions to automation, and some limit very short trades: Atmos Funded sets a 45-second minimum hold, and Finotive Funding flags scalping when 40% or more of closed trades in a payout cycle last 120 seconds or less. Check each firm's rules before you buy.

Questions about this ranking
Do prop firms allow scalping?
Most allow it in principle. What limits it in practice are firm-specific rules on very short trades, such as Atmos Funded's 45-second minimum hold, and prohibitions on high-frequency or latency-driven strategies.
What is a minimum trade duration rule?
A requirement that your average hold time, or a stated share of your profit, comes from trades held longer than a set period. It is designed to exclude tick-scalping, and it is checked at the payout stage rather than during the evaluation.
