Why do you call this scalping, are you taking a bunch of different positions at the same time on margin?
It's just one position, kept short at a semi-consistent size, with slowly growing value (entry point).

I am progressively making the position smaller by buying a tiny bit at a lower price, or making it larger by selling (shorting) a little bit at a higher price. Riding the waves trying to put a handful of froth in my pocket, so to say.

To me the term scalping means buying selling for really small gains like 1-5%....i could be wrong though

My understanding of the term is the same as yours. I think it fits what I'm doing.
