Microscalpers

Any serious microscalpers or FIX API users here? I’m currently building low-latency FX/XAUUSD scalping systems and wanted to know whether FIX API genuinely improved execution quality, slippage, and fill speed compared to MT5 in real live conditions. Also curious about which brokers handled aggressive scalping flow properly without issues. Would appreciate hearing real experiences from traders actually running live microscalping systems.

Been testing a micro-scalping setup on XAUUSD over the past week.

On demo, the results look really strong — consistent trades and solid returns. But when I try to take the same approach toward live conditions, it just doesn’t hold up. Slippage, liquidity, and broker execution seem to wipe out the edge.

Has anyone here done or currently doing micro-scalping?

If yes, I could really use some help — how did you deal with these issues and actually make it work in real conditions?
