Summary of "The Only Scalping Strategy You'll Ever Need"
This video presents a clear, step-by-step scalping trading strategy designed to generate consistent profits with less than 90 minutes of work per day. The strategy is applicable across various markets including futures, stocks, crypto, and forex.
Main Financial Strategies and Methodology
Step 1: Identify the Trading Range
- Use a 5-minute chart on TradingView.
- Mark the high and low of the first 5-minute candle at 9:30 a.m. EST.
- This candle has the highest volume and shows where buying (low) and selling (high) pressures are strongest.
- These levels form the daily trading range.
Step 2: Determine Market Control (Buyers or Sellers)
- Switch to a 1-minute chart.
- Wait for a break outside the established range; avoid trading inside the range to reduce losses caused by market "chop."
- Ignore candle wicks or mere candle closures outside the range; wait for a confirmed break.
- Use a Fair Value Gap (FVG) pattern for confirmation:
- A Fair Value Gap is created by a large candle leaving a price gap between the preceding and following candles.
- The FVG must close outside the range to be valid.
- Wait for a retest of the FVG and a candle engulfing pattern as confirmation:
- The candle engulfing the retest candle signals who is in control (buyers or sellers).
- Only then consider entering a trade.
Step 3: Entry, Stop-Loss, and Take Profit
- Enter the trade immediately after the engulfing candle confirmation.
- Place stop-loss one tick beyond the candle that retested and got engulfed.
- Use a fixed 3:1 risk-to-reward ratio for take profit.
- Trade management is simple: enter, set stop-loss and take profit, then let the market play out without micromanaging.
- Limit to two trades per day to avoid overtrading.
Additional Key Points
- Patience and discipline are crucial; many losses come from trading inside the range or jumping in prematurely.
- The strategy works in various market conditions (bullish, bearish, choppy).
- Accept that losing trades will happen; focus on mechanical execution and emotional control.
