Scalping Indices On A Funded Account
Combining Scalping with Indices on a funded account lets you run a focused playbook with up to $400K of firm capital. Indices trades around the cash and futures sessions of each exchange, and scalping is taking many small trades for a few points each, holding for seconds to minutes.
Why scalping Indices?
Indices offers clean trends and strong reactions to economic data, which pairs well with scalping. Index volatility spikes around the US cash open and major data releases, so risk has to be sized for fast moves.
For scalping specifically you want tight spreads, fast execution and a hard stop on every position, and Indices can provide exactly that during its most active hours.
Rules and risk
The funded-account framework applies the same way: a 4% max daily loss, a 7% max drawdown and a profit target. Because targets are small, a single oversized loss can wipe out a whole session, so risk per trade stays tiny.
Keep risk per trade small and fixed, and protect the daily loss limit no matter how good a setup looks.
