Summary of "I Made $750,000 In A Year With This Super Easy Scalping Strategy"
Performance claims and context
- Presenter claims to have made over $750,000 in the past year using a scalping strategy (video shows a trade log).
- Trades are intraday scalps on futures, primarily ES (E‑mini S&P 500 futures).
- Trading window: roughly 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (focus on NY open activity).
- Emphasis on data-driven decision making (vs. discretionary guessing) and on risk management, psychology, and backtesting.
Instruments, sessions, tools, and participants
- Instrument / ticker: ES (E‑mini S&P 500 futures).
- Sessions and levels used: New York open, London high, Asian high/low/opens.
- Indicator: FXN Asian Session Range by Rob Minty (TradingView).
- Platform/tool: TradingView (bar replay used to demonstrate setups).
- Market participants referenced: banks, hedge funds, and retail traders — orders and emotional exits are cited as drivers of price moves.
Core strategy and setups (step-by-step framework)
- Install the FXN Asian Session Range indicator on TradingView to display highs, lows, and opens of prior sessions.
- Mark session levels (highs, lows, opens) for New York, London, and Asia.
- New York open is defined as the first 15‑minute candle at 8:00 a.m. EST.
- Do not mark a level if a higher low has already been broken (treat it as no longer strong).
- Limit trading to the morning liquidity window (approx. 8:30–11:00 a.m. EST).
- Look for one of three price reactions at session levels:
- Break-and-retest — price breaks a session level and then returns to retest it; enter on the retest in the break direction.
- Rejection — price fails to break above/below a level and reverses; enter on rejection.
- Bounce off a low/high — enter when price bounces off a recent session low/high (NY, London, or Asia).
- Entry, stop, and target practice:
- Enter at the session level zone (top/bottom) on retest, rejection, or bounce.
- Typical stop placement: ~5–10 ES points (examples shown: 5, 6, 9 points).
- Typical profit targets on ES examples: ~20–30 points.
- Position sizing and risk per trade are calibrated to produce favorable risk/reward.
- Trade management: capture a small portion of a larger move (scalp early, exit and stop trading afterward).
Key numbers, risk/reward, and example outcomes
- Claimed annual P&L: > $750,000.
- Representative example metrics (subtitles may contain transcription inconsistencies):
- Break-and-retest: roughly 1:4 R:R; example profit ≈ $3,000.
- Short rejection: example with an $11,000 position risked, profit ≈ $4,000 (quoted as 1:4 R:R).
- Bounce example: quoted as 1:6 R:R, profit ≈ $7,000 while “risking $11,000” (phrasing inconsistent).
- Multiple intraday ES trades producing gains of a few thousand dollars each (examples: ≈ $4,000, ≈ $4,500).
- Typical target per trade: 20–30 ES points; typical stops: ~5–10 points.
- Note: One subtitle said “risk reward of 1 to 375” — clearly a transcription error; context suggests ~1:3.75 (≈1:4).
Rationale and market mechanics
- Strategy relies on institutional order flow and retail emotional behavior around session levels:
- Breaks attract momentum; retests flush weak hands and trigger orders.
- Rejections and bounces exploit trapped retail positions and liquidity pools at session highs/lows.
- Scalping approach: lower time in market, smaller targets per trade, multiple high‑probability setups early in the day.
Risk management, process, and cautions
- Presenter emphasizes the importance of risk management, psychology, mindset, and backtesting alongside the rule set.
- Stops are used and position sizing examples are shown, but no explicit details on account size or percent risk per trade are provided.
- No formal “not financial advice” disclaimer appears in the subtitles.
- Subtitle numeric inconsistencies and lack of transparency on account metrics are notable caveats.
Explicit recommendations / behavioral rules
- Be data-driven; mark session levels daily.
- Trade only during the specified morning window.
- Restrict trades to the three setups: break-retest, rejection, or bounce.
- Use tight stops and defined targets to achieve favorable risk/reward.
- Backtest the strategy and develop risk and psychology processes before scaling.
Potential issues and caveats
- Several numeric statements are internally inconsistent (e.g., R:R vs dollars at risk/returned) — likely subtitle or phrasing errors. Treat individual trade dollar figures and R:R examples with caution.
- No transparency on account size, drawdowns, win rate, or percentage of profitable trades.
- Results shown are the presenter’s; outcomes are not guaranteed for others.
Sources and presenters
- Primary source: video presenter/trader (unnamed in subtitles) who provides the strategy and performance claims.
- Indicator author: Rob Minty (FXN Asian Session Range).

Treat the specific dollar figures and some ratio claims with caution due to transcription inconsistencies in the subtitles.
