Why do some brokers hate scalpers? Why do some brokers frown upon scalping? Is scalping illegal? No, its not illegal! Then, why do some brokers prohibit scalping?

Why do Dealers/Brokers Hate Scalping?

If you are trading with a CFD provider, you are trading against them in a technical sense. Ideally these providers want to have a balanced book where client positions even each other out.
