Best Stocks for Scalping

my greetings.
experienced traders: could you give me advice what stocks best for scalping?
we can divide stocks in four categories: volume, volatility, price, plain chart.
i think that best stocks for scalping - price $10-25, 50-75c range.
What about volume? it is better to trade high volume stocks or 1-3m?
what more difficult? it is better to start from low volume stocks?

Re: Best Stocks for Scalping

I'd look for stocks with volume greater than 1m. Too much bs in low volume stocks.

ATR of 50 - 75c is low. It may be ok for scalping but low ATR stocks move slow and there's not as much potential for a big move. I like an ATR greater than $1.
