Scalping buy/sell spread on futures!

[Challenger]

Hi Guys. I am just starting, tell me please is it possible to scalp 1 tick profit buying and selling the bid/ask spread with ONE contract? Does anybody trade this way? I make accent that trading with 1 contract, it is obviously hard to get filled with 50 contracts, but is it possible with 1-5 contracts?

Realistically no (cartianly not in a 1 lot anyway) as costs are gonna eat away any and all profit.
Cheapest broker is prolly IB, however they don't provide level2 access

agree ...I would say no outright. Filling even at one contract might be a problem plus realistically you will be working on such a bad risk to reward ratio,and the comissioins soon mount up. I can't see you making any profit from it over a given basket of trades.
