I've done a few weeks of 1-lot scalping the FESX-contract, and 60% is not very hard to achieve, even over 1000 trades Excuse the author , Sir Author is week price winner by Contest with DAX best result per week against approx 15000 competitors . Author Result for pure DAX/ currency alsov present in contest/ 539.39% for week is best to date for 5 years . Contest is paper money ,but real time quote .Part of derivative in portofolio was limited to 20% only (true perfomance higher as 539.39% ,which was performed with solely with 20% of portofolio) . For small capital as 2000-5000 euro result can be some relevant That was 339 operations .But decisive was sequence 1 win from 100k until 350 k euro (from 20 k euro derivative dax was made 270 k euro) 2 loss from 350k untill 150 k 3 win from 150k euro until 520 k euro After that with high /very high risk was performed row of multiple operations from 520 k until 639.39 k euro But risk by multiple operations with small profit was not lower as by second loss Best wish ... As stated ,not observed to date for multiple years with any instruments ,not received in he's paper money tests any relevant scalping result . If you have any ,please inform author . Best result for day by paper moeny real time testing by high liquid market was 700 % for day with GBP/JPY .But it was 3 operations ,not scalping .
An experienced scalper can change tactics, use intuition, creativity and c u n n i n g even to come out ahead in the game. ############################ .... Sir As stated before to date not observed by retail any relevant scalping result .If you have any public record from any operator by any contest ,please send. Best was in Russia (trading result exist) future contest .But as stated before ,that result calculation was deceptive and commission fees payed only after contest end (not calculated to result) By institutional (market maker by stock ,options ) scalping can play important role
My past experience is that I will give back too much to the market if using trailing stop. I usually exit when I see the first sign of adverse price movement if my profit target has not been hit yet. I have to admit that I tend to exit earlier in many trades. This is definitely one aspect that I need to improve. Regarding trailing stop, I will do some test to see whether it will be helpful to improve the reward/loss ratio. My gut feeling is that trailing stop may be particularly useful for continuation set-up at the early to middle stage of a trending move.
With trading costs described by ssss no one has a chance to survive scalping. But locals often pay only 5 Cent per half turn and for example an exchange fee on the dax of 50 Cent on a half turn. The entry is not always a spread crossing market order . It could be a Spread Winning Limit order filled by others. Yes there are a lot of profitable scalpers out there. With Sharpe Ratios much higher than any mid or long term trader. regards
