Seems you’ve just started scalping or trading in general. For any scalper, variable spreads, exactly what is offered at this broker’s classic account is a death sentence for trading costs. Why?
Volatility which scalps implies widens the spreads and as a result your pocket. Thats why some stability is needed in prices structure, exactly what fxcess ECN account gives. 0 spreads, fixed commission per lot to know from the beginning how much will be spent and how much will in your profit and loss statement. The answer is obvious here

For scalping, ECN is usually better because of the tighter pricing. But it depends on how fast you execute and whether you're okay with commission fees on top
