have you tried to backward test these systems if they wouldve worked in the past? can you say how risky these systems are and if it quite surely works or you just got lucky?
this would really be interesting to know for me.

Backtest what? It's called scalping. The spreads flucuate (hopefully) in narrow ranges. So you buy and sell and sell and buy and run when you start to get steamrolled. I am a market maker and go for the very short term move. The shorter I hold them the better.
