🧠 How I Approach Scalping: Strategy, Setup & Risk Management
Scalping is my go-to trading style when I want quick profits without holding positions for too long. It demands discipline, precision, and a well-tested setup. Here’s how I approach it step-by-step:
🔧 My Scalping Setup
Timeframes: 1-minute (M1) and 5-minute (M5) charts
Indicators:
EMA 9 & EMA 21 for short-term trend confirmation
RSI (7) for overbought/oversold signals
VWAP for volume-based entry zones
Tools: TradingView for analysis, Binance for execution
Pairs: BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT (high liquidity pairs only)

⚙️ Scalping Process
1. Pre-Market Prep:
Identify trend direction (use M15 and H1 charts)
Mark key support/resistance zones
2. Entry Criteria:
Enter on EMA cross confirmation with RSI divergence or bounce from VWAP
Only enter when volume spikes support the move
3. Exit Criteria:
0.3%–0.8% profit per trade
Hard stop-loss at 0.5% or previous swing low/high

🛡️ Risk Management
Position Size: Max 2% of capital per trade
Stop-Loss: Always fixed; never removed
No Revenge Trading: Max 5 trades per session
Emotional Control: Walk away after 3 consecutive losses

🎯 Final Thoughts
Scalping is fast, exciting, and rewarding—but only if approached with a clear system and strong discipline. Never trade just to “catch moves.” Trade your plan, protect your capital, and stay consistent.
