Another update from that testing scalping stock account:

0.5 percent per 3 trading day without leverage, not bad at all.

Fair experiment — just don’t expect the FX playbook to port 1:1.

Cash equities (and single-name names like CSG) have different microstructure: auction open/close effects, lunch liquidity holes, borrow/short constraints, and a spread regime that isn’t the same as EURUSD in London cash. A forex “scalp” edge that lives on tight, continuous quoting can become expensive noise when the stock book thins.

If I were translating the approach:

• Trade only the liquid window (regular session, avoid first/last minutes until you know the name)
• Measure all-in cost in cents, not “pips”
• Cut size vs FX — gap and print risk is less forgiving

0.5% over a few days without leverage is a gentle test, which is the right attitude. Treat it as a lab transfer, not proof the FX system is universal.

Are you using the same hold-time targets as on FX, or did you widen them for the stock’s tempo?

0.5 percent per 3 trading day without leverage, not bad at all.

How many trades did that take, and what does the broker charge per trade on that account? On single stocks the cost structure is different from FX. Many brokers charge a minimum ticket fee, so on a small position the commission can be a much bigger share of the move than a raw FX spread would be. Say the position is 1,000 EUR and the minimum fee is 2 EUR each way: a round trip is already 0.4%, so 0.5% over three days could be one good trade or ten trades that each fought their fees. Is the 0.5% net of commission, and are you holding overnight or flat each day?

The 0.5 percent over three days is worth running forward to see what it implies. There are roughly 84 three day blocks in a 252 day trading year, and 1.005 to the power 84 is about 1.52, so repeated all year it would mean about 52 percent unleveraged.

That is a strong number, which is the reason to be careful with it. A few days of one stock can easily come from the stock drifting up while the scalps ride along, and the same rules may give it all back in a falling week.

Single names also carry a risk FX scalping mostly avoids, the overnight gap. Say a results day opens the stock 6 percent lower while a position is held from the day before, then one gap costs as much as twelve of those three day blocks.

The currency is the other cost to check if the account is not in euros. Many brokers charge a conversion fee on both the buy and the sell, and on short holds that can be bigger than the commission asked about above.

A comparison against simply holding the stock over the same three days would show how much the scalping actually added. Was CSG up or down over that stretch?

Yeah, but advantage of stocks is trading without leverage.

In good year you can make more than 100 percent, which is more than enought if you have solid capital

From my point of view forex scalping is best to scale small capital and stocks to steady grow.
