    Lets say I have won 50 out 50 trades (some overnight , so in europe session) in micro eur/usd.

    The total won would be about 150$.
    Comissiones were clearing 50$,total rounds trip ammount 50$, commision 25$, exchange 16$.

    How is possible to make money? Anyone knows what happens here? Thanks.

    Sounds like you are putting on a position, and then scalping out a two tick profit.

    How is it possible to make money? Stop scalping.
     
  3. - you cannot scalp net profitable with micro contracts
    - change broker
    - trade with more size, so you can negotiate better commissions
    - trade other products that are more cost effective (ZB, ZN, FDAX, FESX, FGBL, FGBM)
    - lease a seat

    friction costs, as above, are what kills any supposedly successful trading system but they do sell newsletters which fail to include them.

    Find a better broker, most FX ones are just spread cost, work out if thats less than above or not.

    I trade fxcm, tight ish spread plus a commision these days, EU im looking at a 1.2pip cost all in.

    See if you can trade the DAX/ger30 thats the cheapest cost and best mover for me.
