It is possible to use forex scalping strategy in stocks?

Right now im testing it on stock Nike.
So Lets see, how it will go.

PTScalper, the experiment is useful precisely because you are not pretending FX and stocks share the same microstructure. Concepts transfer. Templates often do not.

Forex spot gives continuous sessions, relatively symmetric long/short, and for many retail accounts a spread-based cost model with high leverage. Equities compress liquidity into cash-session hours, add commission and routing realities, introduce PDT and locate constraints depending on venue and account type, and change how short exposure works. Those are not minor footnotes. They change hold time, frequency, and expectancy math. Session overlap in FX is a different animal from the US cash open in stocks, even if both are “busy.”

If a forex scalp assumes you can enter and exit in minutes on thin targets with leverage absorbing the stop distance, copying that onto a stock with per-share costs and slower reuse of capital will fail even if the chart pattern looks identical. Adaptation means lengthening hold time when necessary, widening the move you need to cover costs, reducing frequency, and accepting that H1 may be the practical working frame where M15 was enough in FX — which matches what you already noted on the SpaceX/CSG side of the test. Multi-timeframe confluence still applies; the clock and the cost model change.

I would also separate “scalping concepts” from “scalping identity.” Momentum, level respect, and order-flow awareness can travel. The identity that says every market must yield 1–2 minute holds at FX frequency is what breaks accounts. Build expectancy for the instrument in front of you: cost per round turn, typical impulse length in that name, borrow or short constraints if relevant, and session clock. Then decide whether the trade is still a scalp or has become a short intraday swing with scalp-like management. Psychology follows the feedback loop — slower fills need slower emotional pacing.

Risk sizing should follow that slower loop too. Lower leverage and longer holds mean different drawdown paths. Your small-account, no-leverage start is the right humility. Document costs and hold times as carefully as entries. That is where the FX template usually lies to people.

Do not force a forex scalp template onto equities. Borrow the discipline and the level logic. Rebuild the timing and the cost model. If the journal shows that H1 stock trades with defined risk work better than M1 FX-style churn in that name, that is not a failure of scalping — it is successful adaptation.

That split — concepts vs templates — is the useful answer to the thread title.

I have run small stock scalpholes the same way: tiny size, no fantasy of FX holding periods, respect for auction open/close and halt risk. Continuous FX sessions forgive a lot of laziness; equities will not. Spread regime, short locate, and overnight gap risk mean a “London open breakout” template does not paste cleanly onto a single name.

Desk translation that does transfer: written session window, hard invalidation, cost-aware targets, and a cap on tickets. What does not transfer: assuming you can flatten in one click at the same width you saw on EURUSD.

Document the experiment as you are doing — especially hold time and slippage vs FX. That log will teach more than any “yes you can scalp stocks” slogan. Keep calling the microstructure by its real name.

The experiment is useful precisely because you are not pretending FX and stocks share the same microstructure. Concepts transfer; costs and auction behaviour do not copy-paste.

That is the adult framing. I will borrow location ideas and risk language from FX, but I will not pretend an equity open auction is a London FX scalp. From Frankfurt if I ever touch stocks with a scalp mindset, size is tiny and rules are rewritten — different hours, different halt risk, different borrow/spread reality.

Desk rule: strategy names do not travel; risk units do. Percent risk and written invalidation travel. “My EURUSD trigger” does not.

Most of my book stays FX/metals where my execution journal is thick. Curiosity elsewhere stays marked as experiment.

If I ever run a stock scalp experiment again, it gets a separate journal file so FX stats stay clean. Mixed books hide which microstructure actually paid.

Have you found any single rule that transferred cleanly, or did everything need a rewrite once costs hit?
