#DayTradingStrategy
Day trading strategies continue to rely on well-established techniques: momentum, breakouts, trends, news, and market opening.
Momentum Trading, taking advantage of clear trends with indicators like the SMA or MACD, capturing fast movement.
Breakout Trading, identifying key support or resistance levels and trading when the price breaks those levels.
Intraday Trend, following the predominant direction of the day, with tight stops to mitigate pullbacks.
News Trading, capitalizing on sudden changes, especially in volatile assets like forex and cryptos.
Opening Range, trading the breakout or reversal of the range established in the first 30 minutes after opening.
From Quadcode, they highlight that scalping and momentum lead preferences in 2025.
An experienced trader on r/Daytrading shares that his strategy consists of 5-minute charts, a 10-period SMA, and another indicator, combining quick intraday trades with swings when there is greater conviction.
🔑 Updated keys:
Use short timeframe (5 min) + short moving average (SMA‑10).
Set entries on breakouts or momentum, with tight stop.
Apply risk management: use ratios 1:2 and limit exposure per trade (<1–2 % capital).
Maintain discipline and review your sessions daily.
In summary: the combination of structured technique, risk management, and post-trade analysis remains effective for consistently trading intraday.
