🔟 Scalping Tips for Crypto Traders

1. Stick to 1–2 Timeframes

Use the 1-min or 5-min chart for entries, and 15-min for trend context.

2.Always Use Stop-Losses

Never scalp without a tight stop. Protect your capital first.

3. Limit Leverage

High leverage = fast losses. Stay under 5x–10x unless highly experienced.

4. Master 1–2 Indicators

Focus on EMA + ATR, or VWAP + RSI. Don’t overload your screen.

5. Trade Only High-Liquidity Pairs

Stick with coins like BTC/ETH/SOL to avoid slippage.

6. Predefine Entry/Exit Zones

Know your target and risk level before entering any trade.

7. Avoid News Hours

Big news = unpredictable spikes. Don’t scalp during announcements (like FOMC, NFP, CPI).

8. Track Every Trade

Keep a simple trading journal to review what’s working.

9. Set a Daily Limit

Max number of trades or loss limit. Discipline prevents revenge trading.

10. Trade the Trend, Don’t Fight It

If the trend is up, scalp long. Don’t short a strong pump.
