#ScalpingStrategy My scalping strategy is based on operating in low time frames, mainly on 1 and 5-minute charts, looking for quick price movements. I use a combination of exponential moving averages (EMA) of 9 and 21 periods to identify the direction of the trend. When the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA, I consider long entries; if it crosses downwards, short entries.
I complement this with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) over 14 periods: I enter when the RSI comes out of extreme zones (below 30 or above 70), which may indicate a quick rebound. To confirm the entry, I use candle patterns such as hammers, engulfing, or doji in key areas.
Volume is crucial; I only enter if there is a clear increase, suggesting market interest. I use a tight stop loss (0.3% to 0.5%) and aim for a risk/reward ratio of at least 1:1.5. I do not hold positions beyond 5 to 10 minutes.
I avoid trading during important economic news or at times of low liquidity. The goal is not to win all the time, but to repeat trades with high probability and strict risk management. Scalping requires discipline more than prediction.
