Professional Scalping Strategy

Strategy Idea

• Settings explained apply to Long & Short!

The strategy aims to find impulses with the use of ATR Trend/Top/Bottom. ATR Trend/Top/Bottom indicator with these specific settings identifies market impulses and the height of the ATR Line is a measure of the strength. Equally high ATR Lines means that the strength in the Impulses is equally strong. This lets us compare the impulses with each other to understand how strong the current Impulse is in relation to the previous ones.

Range & Trend with the Long-term setting serves as a trend filter. This helps us to only take trades with the trend.

This strategy is one of many and be creative and combine other indicators and methods.

Indicators Needed

Entry/Exits & Target/Stop Loss

Long Entry

The Entry condition is a combination of ATR Top/Bottom and we use Range & Trend to filter the Trend.

We can use two types of Entry with this Setup.

1. Entry 1 is a simple setup.
2. Entry 2 is more “Advanced” and uses Price Action for confirmation.

Enter Long 1 (Simple Setup)

Enter Long 1: when ATR Bottom [Red Line] gives a Strong Impulse Peak and the Background is Red and Range & Trend Line is Green [Positive Trend].

Enter Long 2 (Advanced Setup)

Enter Long 2: when ATR Bottom [Red Line] gives a Strong or Weak Impulse Peak and Price finds Support at a green Range & Trend Line [Positive Trend].

Short Entry

The Entry condition is a combination of ATR Top/Bottom and we use Range & Trend to filter the Trend.

We can use two types of Entry with this Setup.

1. Entry 1 is a simple setup.
2. Entry 2 is more “Advanced” and uses Price Action for confirmation.

Enter Short 1 (Simple Setup)

Enter Short 1: when ATR Bottom [Green Line] gives a Strong Impulse Peak and the Background is Green and Range & Trend Line is Red [Positive Trend].

Enter Short 2 (Advanced Setup)

Enter Short 2: when ATR Bottom [Green Line] gives a Strong or Weak Impulse Peak and Price finds Resistance at a red Range & Trend Line [NegativeTrend].

Exit and Stop Loss

We recommend exiting your positions in 2 steps, first, we bank some profit at a weak impulse and make a full exit at a strong impulse. (Or at the SL).

Se over examples trades below to understand the Exit and Stop loss

• Take Profit Long – When ATR Top [Green Line] gives a Weak Impulse.
• Take Profit Short – When ATR Bottom [Red Line] gives a Weak Impulse.

• Exit Long – When ATR Top [Green Line] gives a Strong Impulse.
• Exit Short – When ATR Bottom [Red Line] gives a Strong Impulse.

• Long Stop-loss – When Range & Trend changes color from Green to Red or Slightly below Range & Trend [Long Entry 2].
• Short Stop-loss – When Range & Trend changes color from Red to Green or Slightly above Range & Trend [Short Entry 2].

Example: Long & Short – Entry 1

How to set alerts

• Follow this guide to understand how to set alerts for the Top/Bottom Feature

Top/Bottom Limit Value

This value has two purposes:

1) The Background color displays when the ATR Top/Bottom Line crosses over this value. The Background color disappears when the ATR Top/Bottom Line crosses under this value.

2) You will also have alerts on these points:

•  “ATR Top Start (CrossOver Limit)” triggers when the ATR Top Feature Line crosses over your set Limit value.
• “ATR Top End (CrossUnder Limit)” triggers when the ATR Top Feature Line crosses under your set Limit value.
• “ATR Bottom Start (CrossOver Limit)” triggers when the ATR Bottom Feature Line crosses over your set Limit value.
• “ATR Bottom End (CrossUnder Limit)” triggers when the ATR Bottom Feature Line crosses under your set Limit value.
