High Accuracy 1 Minute Scalping Strategy (Full Training)

Trading style / objective

• Teaches a 1-minute / 5-minute “scalping” day-trading strategy designed to capture short-duration bursts of intraday volatility.
• Uses a 10-second chart as a supplement.
• Focuses on high frequency participation during strong momentum phases, while avoiding the “backside” (pullback/decline portion of a move after trend breaks).

Instruments / tickers mentioned

• ZPP (stock): primary focus of the day’s case study
• ZAP (stock): referenced as another example
• AMVS (stock): referenced as another example
• GameStop: referenced in performance context (winners/losses)

Additional “hot sector” examples mentioned:

• AI
• Pharmaceuticals
• Chinese AI

No ETFs/bonds/crypto mentioned.

Step-by-step framework (explicit methodology)

1. Find a volatile stock (via real-time scanners)

   • Minimum threshold: Relative Volume ≥ 5x
     • Defined as volume 5× higher than the 14-day average
   • Additional demand check: stock should be up at least 10% on the day (proxy for demand/high urgency)
   • Note: continuation setups may sometimes fall slightly below the threshold due to rising average volume.

2. Identify the catalyst

   • Preferred: a clear news catalyst such as:
     • earnings
     • clinical trial results
     • FDA approvals
     • new contract
   • If no obvious catalyst:
     • treat as continuation momentum
     • verify whether earlier news triggered the move
   • Mentions “multiplier” headline keywords and attention drivers:
     • trending keywords like AI
     • “Co”
     • big-name company keywords (examples: Amazon, Apple, Google, Nvidia, Walmart) that can attract faster algorithmic attention
   • Other volatility drivers mentioned:
     • recent IPO
     • special purpose acquisition company (SPAC)
     • reverse split

3. Technical setup for entry/target

   • Looks for realistic upside capture:
     • first target: 15–20 cents, aiming for roughly ~1:1 risk/reward
   • Uses chart patterns, notably:
     • micro pullback
     • first pullback
     • “first candle to make a new high” after a pullback (on 1-min and 5-min charts)
   • Poses the question: “Can it go 50 cents or more?”
   • Caution: if expected move is small (especially after factoring spreads), the trade may not be worth taking.

4. Tape / Level 2 confirmation + entries/exits

   • Uses Level 2 (order book) and time & sales (“reading the tape”).
   • Key concept: breakouts/bailouts driven by buying volume surging as:
     • shorts cover
     • orders execute
   • Watches for “walls” / stacked liquidity at psychological levels:
     • half dollars / whole dollars (examples mentioned: $6.5, $7, $7.5, $8)
   • Exit triggers:
     • green candles slowing / getting smaller (exhaustion)
     • topping tails / shooting star / doji-style reversal candles
     • large sellers on the tape / Level 2
     • hard exit when max loss is hit

5. Track performance metrics and adjust

   • Reviews:
     • accuracy
     • average winners
     • average losers
     • profit per trade
   • Emphasizes rule adherence and “leaning into what works, abandoning what doesn’t.”

Key numbers, thresholds, and performance metrics

Setup thresholds & requirements

• Relative Volume: target ≥ 5x (vs 14-day average)

  • Example values mentioned:
    • AMVS relative volume ~10.39
    • ZPP relative volume ~4 (treated as acceptable due to continuation context)

• Daily price move / demand: stock should be up ≥ 10% on the day

  • Examples mentioned:
    • AMVS up around ~17% (implied)
    • ENVS cited up 52% in an example segment
    • ZAP mentioned as hitting ~100% intraday

Pricing/risk preferences

• Prefers stocks priced between $1 and $20
  • Notes inverse relationship: higher price ⇒ higher volatility risk / harder risk control.
• Float constraint:
  • trades best when float < 10 million shares (float = shares available to trade)

Profitability metrics (from presenter analytics)

• Accuracy: 68.5%
  • Based on 9 years of trading history loaded into their analytics tool
• Average winners: about 14 cents/share
  • Average share size: ~10,000 shares
  • Average profit per trade: ~$1,400
• Average losers: revised to about 18 cents/share
  • Average winner/loser dollar relationship described as approximately equal in dollar terms
• Interpretation principle:
  • With accuracy above 50%, the strategy can be profitable if winner/loser dollars are roughly balanced.
  • Break-even examples:
    • risk $1 to make $1 → need 50% accuracy
    • risk $1 to make $2 → need 33% accuracy

Risk management / stop sizing

• Uses a tight “arbitrary” stop around ~10–15 cents
  • Mentions average loser target around ~14–15 cents
• Strong caution about bid-ask spread
  • Example: ~13 cents spread with prices around $15.88–$15.95
  • Market order flipping can cause 5–10 cents loss due to spread alone
• Explicit recommendation:
  • If spreads prevent keeping risk tight, do not trade
  • Example: ZPP trial abandoned due to difficulty managing stops vs spreads
• “Minimum move” requirement:
  • scalp trades need potential upside around ~30 cents to be worth it (spreads/slippage + exit timing)

Explicit trade logic (examples and recommendations)

• Do not overstay the trade
  • Enter aggressively on the front side of momentum.
  • After signals like EMA20 cross / break below 20 EMA / MACD crossover, stop trading that name and wait for the next setup.
• Walk-away discipline
  • Example: after making $10,000 in roughly under 2 hours in the morning session, they stop for the day (double daily goal).

Order-book / Level 2 breakout example (ZPP)

• Watches a seller “wall” around $7.75 / the $7.75–$8 area.
• Enters earlier than the level break, citing:
  • expected micro pullback behavior
  • order book liquidity
• Risk example:
  • max loss defined around a buyer on the bid (example buyer around $7.50)
  • risked about 10 cents/share
  • multiplied by ~8,000 shares ⇒ about $800 risk
• Notes short sellers may be forced to cover if price breaks higher, accelerating the move.

Tools / operational requirements

• Real-time volatility scanner (subscription)
  • Example: “Day Trade Dash scanner” on Warrior Trading
• Level 2 market data
  • Available through brokers; may require extra subscription
