Normally standard account charges spread by about 1.2 pips to 1.5 pips on EURUSD (the most scalable pair in Forex), which means you pay 15$ to enter and get out of the trade no matter whether you win or lose trading 1 lot of EURUSD.
With ECN they will have your spread of 0.3 and charge you commission of 7$ for 1 lot of trade EURUSD. So the cost is 10$ a trade of 1 lot.
Now you go to a trade for scalping which is aiming for 1–3 pips which is 10 to 30$ profit.
