Summary of "This Simple Scalping Strategy Makes Me Over $10,000/Month"

Finance-specific instruments / tickers mentioned

Netflix (NFLX) (used as the example asset for all steps and the live demo)

Strategy: “Break and Bounce” (3-step daily trading pattern)

Core idea: Identify yesterday’s range, wait for a confirmed breakout, then enter on a reversal/confirmation candle at the retest level within the first 2.5 hours of the market open.

Step-by-step framework (timeframe-specific)

Step 1 (Daily timeframe): Build the range box

Draw a rectangle (box) on the daily chart from:
- High of the day / previous day high (top of box)
- to Low of the day / previous day low (bottom of box)
Extend the box 1 day into the future
Rationale: liquidity sits above the prior day high and below the prior day low; the strategy is mechanical with no directional bias until breakout confirmation.

Step 2 (15-minute timeframe): Confirm breakout

Look for a 15-minute candle close:
- Above the box high ⇒ upside continuation bias
- Below the box low ⇒ downside continuation bias
Important: Do not accept intrabar moves; require a confirmed candle close outside the box.

Step 3 (5-minute timeframe): Enter on retest + reversal candle (only early)

After the breakout, wait for a retest back to the breakout level (high or low of the box).
Entry requires one of two reversal candle types at the key level:
- Hammer (after clear negative/red movement) → long
- Inverted hammer (after clear positive/green movement) → short
Also acceptable:
- Bullish engulfing → long
- Bearish engulfing → short
Timing constraint: Only take the trade if the setup appears within the first 2.5 hours of market open; otherwise, “opportunity is lost.”

Candlestick-specific entry + stop logic

Hammer (long)
- Enter on break of the hammer candle
- Stop loss: at the hammer low
Inverted hammer (short)
- Enter on break of the inverted hammer candle
- Stop loss: slightly above the hammer high
Bullish engulfing (long)
- Enter at the high of the prior candle (doesn’t require waiting for engulf close)
- Stop loss: slightly below the engulfing candle low
Bearish engulfing (short)
- Enter at the low of the prior candle
- Stop loss: slightly above the engulfing candle high

Targeting guidance

In the example, target was set as a multiple of risk (see below).

Overnight / EOD rule

If still in position by market close, manually close the trade.

Key performance numbers / claimed backtest results

An algorithm coded from the strategy (after trading manually for years) is said to have:
- Win rate: 70%
- Profit factor: 1.6**
The strategy is described as not triggering every day:
- Typically yields the setup ~2–3 times per month per stock
- (breakout may occur outside the 2.5-hour window or the required reversal candle may not appear)

Explicit example trade (Netflix) — levels and risk/reward

Live/demo example (NFLX)

Daily range box levels (prior day)

High: 97.19
Low: 94.27

Step 2 confirmation

15-minute candle closed above the range ~75 minutes after market open.

Step 3 (5-minute entry)

A hammer reversal candle formed at/around the retest level.
Entry: at candle close (explicit entry price not restated, but stop/target are given relative to the level)

Risk management

Stop loss: 97.15
Stop distance: $0.39
Target profit: 2× stop distance
- Target: 98.32

Outcome

Trade reached target; duration described as unusually long (~2 hours+)

Additional illustrative trade mentioned earlier (example)

Entry: 94.51
Stop: 94.34 (stop loss $0.17)
Target: 95.02
Metrics: 17-point stop loss vs 51-point win (as described; the “points” framing vs the $ prices is unclear)

Recommendations / cautions / conditions

No indicators are used (pure price-action + timeframe sequencing).
Mechanically execute only when rules trigger (no “guessing” direction).
Require candle closes in Step 2 (15-min outside the box).
Strict timing: reversal candle must occur within first 2.5 hours after market open.
Do your own due diligence and backtests; historic results are not guaranteed.
Manual close by market close if the position is still open.

Disclosures
