Strategy type
- 1-minute scalping
- Uses a “rectangle setup” and “sniper entry” concept
Key strategy concept: Rectangle Setup
The video presents a mechanical, repeatable scalping method aimed at high reward-to-risk trades, with the following claims:
- Works on all pairs and any time of day (as long as the chart has candlesticks)
- Targets trades described as “above 4R and 3R trades” (implying ~3–4+ risk multiples)
- Uses one drawn rectangle to define:
- Entry
- Stop loss
- Take profit
Methodology (step-by-step framework)
High Probability Range (4 criteria)
-
Anchored range (base of the range)
- Price must hit a key level or show a liquidity sweep at a “good price position.”
- Avoid “unfilled range” scenarios (described as invalid).
-
Strength (continuation bias)
- Aggressive close above highs or below lows = strength / break of structure
- Weakness is framed as failure to close beyond:
- e.g., failing to close below a low (or above a high)
- often signaled by a wick
-
Fresh range (conceptually described)
- Fresher ranges are preferred over stale ones.
- Claimed to improve probability from roughly ~50% to ~70%.
-
Imbalance (optional in wording, but treated as high-probability when present)
- When imbalance aligns with price movement direction, continuation from the range is said to become more likely.
Trade execution steps (Rectangle + Trigger)
-
Identify a valid high-probability structure
- Must satisfy the range criteria above, especially:
- anchored price position
- strength/weakness
- fresh range logic
- optional imbalance
- Must satisfy the range criteria above, especially:
-
Identify and confirm “weakness”
- Look for a high taken with failure to close beyond it
- Often framed as a weak close back that suggests a reversal/turning point.
-
Draw the rectangle and wait for 1-minute confirmation
- The rectangle is drawn from the closing price to the wick (as described).
- Entry trigger (bearish example):
“the moment you close below this, you take the entry”
-
Risk / reward setup
- Stop loss: placed above the high (above the relevant swing/high)
- Take profit: based on reaching the next level (examples include):
- targeting a 3:1 structure or
- aiming for the next level / “take profit hit”
Examples / performance numbers mentioned
-
Example 1
- Break below aggressively took “a lot of time”
- Payoff reported: about “9:1” (risk multiple)
-
Example 2
- Payoff reported: “17 to one” (risk multiple)
-
Hit-rate / probability claims
- Fresh range focus: probability improvement from ~50% to ~70%
- Additional “high probability tips” for a higher win rate mentioned, but no precise win-rate percentage beyond ~50% → ~70%
Explicit recommendations / cautions
- Prioritize “high probability ranges” to reduce losses from fake-outs (entries that fail and reverse).
- Avoid setups that “take forever” to fill
- Emphasis that entries must be in a good price position.
- Confirm weakness rather than assuming continuation
- The approach tries to prevent being trapped by “strength” that doesn’t truly reverse.
Rectangle trigger and alternatives
- The author’s core rule uses a 1-minute close as confirmation.
- An optional alternative is mentioned: some traders may wait for a fill of the rectangle.
- The author prefers a method aligned with:
- stop above + TP hit (within the basic rule set).
