This is the BEST 1 Minute Scalping Strategy on the Internet

Finance-focused summary (markets, strategy, execution, risk)

• The speaker shares a 1-minute / 15-second scalping strategy designed for strong, trending days.
• It uses a custom visual “band” concept built from two EMAs (4 and 9), intended to reflect the 5-minute trend, then applied to lower timeframes for dynamic support/resistance.
• Core principles:
  • Stay aligned with the trend longer (avoid buying/shorting against the prevailing directional state).
  • Use the bands to distinguish pullbacks vs. actual reversals.
  • Scale into winners rather than “paper cutting” (exiting too early).

Emphasis on market context

• The bands are treated as reliable trend continuation tools only when the day is trending.
• If the market is oversold/exhausted (via RSI), the speaker cautions against continuation entries and instead looks for reversal signals near key levels.

Instruments / tickers mentioned

• Oil (multiple references; example position sizing mentioned around ~$18,000)
• ENQ (appears to be a misspelling of NQ)
• NQ (NASDAQ-100 futures; stated as a common instrument)
• Gold (XAU futures implied; key levels discussed)
• RSI (indicator used for exhaustion/risk context—not a ticker)

Other strategy tools / named constructs

ORB (Opening Range Breakout)

• Pre-market ORB around 7:00 a.m.
• Volume ORB around 9:00 a.m. (major emphasis)

KPLs / Key Pivot Levels

Explicit KPL levels referenced:

• 8663
• 9129
• 8470
• 9771

ORB-based behavior and confirmation ideas:

• “Reject 50% of ORB perfectly” (used as confirmation)
• “Take it up into 50% of orb” on gold continuation

Charting features

• Heikinashi candles for smoother reading on 15-second data

Indicator / methodology (step-by-step framework)

1) Build the EMA bands (custom indicator concept)

• Use two EMAs:
  • 9 EMA
  • 4 EMA
• Band interpretation is color-coded:
  • Red = Downtrend (4 EMA below 9 EMA)
  • Green = Uptrend (4 EMA above 9 EMA)
  • Yellow = Transitional / “in-between” behavior (a potential pullback; reversal risk if it continues)

Reversal detection framing:

• Often signaled by color progression:
  • Red → Yellow → Green (bullish reversal scenario)
• That same progression is also used as a “magnet/cross” condition.

2) Apply bands on lower timeframes while referencing 5-minute structure

• Uses 1-minute and 15-second charts to avoid missing moves that occur inside a 5-minute candle.
• The key reasoning: the lower-timeframe EMA visualization should match the 5-minute bar structure.

3) Integrate ORB structure by time-of-day

• ~7:00 a.m.: pre-market ORB model
• ~9:00 a.m.: primary ORB / volume emphasis
• Preference for entries where price shows interaction with ORB levels, including 50% retracement areas.

4) Entry logic for trending-day continuation

If bands show a downtrend (red):

• Look for price to revisit the bands and reject
  • Bands act as resistance.

If bands show an uptrend (green):

• Look for price to revisit the bands and hold
  • Bands act as support.

If price is far from the bands:

• Expect a “magnet” revisit before clean continuation.
• Avoid impulsive scaling when extended.

5) Reversal detection / when NOT to continuation-trade

• RSI as “training wheels”:
  • If oversold, avoid pressing trend continuation shorts.
  • Expect a possible reversal after exhaustion.
• Additional reversal confirmation:
  • Structure shift (e.g., for upshift: lower lows → higher lows; higher highs for confirmation)
  • Bands shifting behavior (e.g., resistance → support or vice versa)

6) Risk management (explicit framing)

• Risk is commonly defined as below/under the reaction area:
  • For long continuation: place risk right under the last higher-low / reaction candle near the bands.
  • For short continuation: risk sits beyond the rejection/invalid level (the “flush”/reaction low).
• The presenter repeatedly treats the bands as the guide for the “invalidated” level—i.e., when the trade no longer matches trend alignment.

7) Execution style

• Uses Heikinashi candles on 15-second for smoother reaction reading.
• Prefers tight execution by waiting for pullbacks to the bottom band (“deep discount”) in strong trends.

Key numbers, metrics, and explicit recommendations/cautions

Performance claim / trade examples

• Biggest winning trade claim:
  • Over $18,000 on oil
• Additional live examples mention targets / outcomes:
  • NQ target around 26208
  • Partial/close examples:
    • “close that out for a nice 230–235”
    • another close “for about $400”

Time references (intraday schedule)

• Downtrend example around 4:30
• ORB volume emphasis near ~9:00 a.m.
• ENQ/NQ example:
  • starting around 6–7 a.m.
  • held up to roughly 9:17–9:24 (open region)

Explicit cautions

Don’t trade continuation blindly.

• If RSI indicates oversold/exhausted, don’t keep pressing shorts/longs just because bands are red/green.
• In news-heavy markets, don’t rely solely on the trend lines—use market context.
