Can anyone scalp like this? Yes, of course.

Are you kidding me? I'm dead serious.

I have to give credit to IgazI for making me re-think about the use of closing price. But some wires in my brain might have been plugged in differently so I ended up with a pure line chart and this stuff instead lolz

The core of this strategy is breakout trade but with some variations (my style, as always). This can be done on any tf but ideally on M1 or at least M5. What about 5 seconds, 10 seconds and the rest? Yes it can be used there also however, the cost is simply not worth it.


I've seen line charts used for trading. I still like the information I get from bars and candles.


I'm not saying they are not useful those bars and candles but as I'm contemplating more and more I can see the good in line chart and especially for scalping.

you have to exchange near certainty of a specific size loss for an uncertain size loss . . .
on the other hand price has to certainly move against you vs uncertainly moving against you.

Personally I reject the idea that the open adds anything to the close or that the high and low is more significant than where price is at the end of the day.


Well yes, the open is the close of the previous candle and as for the high and low, there is really no time stamp on them as compared to the precise time stamp of the closing price. Price fluctuations are essential but the closing price is what puts the nail in the coffin. For scalping my style, I see some real and practical benefits of using the closing price.

I think I'm gonna need that dotted MA line to replace that line chart to know the precise closing price, especially if the chart is going to be condensed.

Simple code. Highly effective. These should cover several plays.
Originally, I tried to code my strategy (yet again) but it still lacks flexibility and it's damn hard to code flexibility lolz
So I figured why not just turn it into something much simpler while achieving the same result.

There were only 3 buttons before and now we have 6 new ones. These are buttons for different entry scenarios. Working on adding more to benefit from more diverse scenarios because the market never moves the same way every time. Expanding your What Ifs List will take you to another level of trading. But you must do it one step at a time to master it.

The market has been moving awesomely for the past 2 months on EU. I'm sure you're all banking on those crazy moves. Yesterday's moves were very predictable it's crazy if you can't make a big bang profit out of them.

You have a multitude of fractals inside that blue box, which one will you ride on for the up and down wave? Which one is "safer"? Which one is aggressive? Which one gives the best R? Which trigger will you use to enter the market? S1, S2, S3, S4? There is a reason why those who enter the MMA ring learn several disciplines. To expand their What Ifs during the match.

The London play is awesome.

There are times when the market is steady and then there are also those times when it's rough. Pick your wave and ride it like a boss.

Yesterday's market was rough during the London session it sapped the life force out of me I could not bear to continue with the NY session. Stamina is paramount when doing this stuff. I did not take any anchor trade because H1 and D1 are not that supportive. Hopefully, we'll get one today. I made 2 mistakes yesterday and they are... not closing the trade when the target is reached. The 2 trades could add some good R but yeah...mistakes do happen. What's important is, I finished yesterday with a smile.

The buttons helped me so much that I didn't have to worry about anything else other than taking the trade but now it has evolved even further...

I looked over your executions. Good stuff. Definitely some trades you held on to long. Its an art not an exact science.

Yeah, I really thought it would go even further. Well, I wasn't really that sure on those positions anyway coz when I'm sure I usually double down on it like that first and last wave I took.

The day before yesterday I told you guys I hope I can get an anchor trade and yesterday I did. It was epic but not epic "epic", just a normal epic.

Spoiler... No SL for the anchor trade.

But even if you're no fan of my no SL trades you can still gain from the insight. Yes, instead of telling how much, in percentage, I made it's much better to tell people how to do it because this is the stuff that everyone loves.

Target pair: EU (you really only need 1 trading instrument to make money, big money).
TF to be monitored for bias: Daily, H1 (I mentioned this so many times in the past in this thread, but maybe not enough, that if H1 agrees with D1 you'll bank! Big time!)
Entry tf: 1 minute (5 minutes tf is still ok)

Market condition:

D1
The overall trend is down, it's too obvious you can't miss it. There are several trends in the market. Big, medium and small. Big trend belongs to a bigger tf but can also be seen from D1 (obviously). Medium and small belong to D1 but can also be seen in the smaller tfs (in this case H4 or H1 but I prefer H1). The market just broke out of June's low and it happened early July and then the market seemed to have ended the pattern and it's currently trying to decide where it will go next. it's true that the price jumped right after the end of the pattern where the parity level is but it does not grant any real bullish trend yet. And, seeing how the dojis during the middle of the month throughout the end of July you can see that there is hesitation not to go up or down. By doing this, it created a small wedge pattern. Because yesterday the price was hovering on the top trend line that could potentially materialize the wedge pattern it's the perfect time to take a bearish trade. But that's not all because when we dive into the "small" wedge pattern on D1 you can see a lot more on the smaller tf, H1.

EURUSDDaily Yesterday.png

H1
During the time the price spent to form the upper trend line from days before, it's easy to tell that the price couldn't go up on high watermark since July 19 all the way to July 26. However, the price doesn't seem to hesitate when it formed the lower trend line since 26, 27 and 28 of July. From July 29, the angle got steeper upward and then on Aug 1 the price stalled creating multiple boxes along the way. Aug 2nd was the day that you see multiple dojis continuing the multiple dojis from hours before. I took a chance thinking that if the trade will break the prior low marked by the thick blue line then it might act as the conduit for further fall. All things considered I put no SL.

The entry candle was the one marked by the red line. I entered at the beginning of that candle. Plus, it happens to be the opening of London session.

Why the target is all the way down? Look left. The jumbled-up boxes are the kind that is easy to break especially considering the overall situation that I just mentioned. So where is the obvious TP? All the way down to the next available box. Box 4.

Did you do scalp trade yesterday too? What do you think? Of course. But I already mentioned this stuff (scalping) too many times so it should be common knowledge in my thread now and also in Alias' thread.

I'm sorry coz there might be some things that I might missed in this post but this is all I could think of at the moment of writing.

IgazI mentioned pattern, breakout of pattern, pattern and things before pattern. Yes, that is true. The study of pattern is important especially because there is just a lot of pattern out there. Pick some that you can specialize and master. Afterward, expand your library by taking in more patterns and master them also. And then know how to combine them and use them all at once when the need arises. Rinse and repeat.

Trading with no SL is not for everyone but at least you could benefit from the stuff I put in here no matter what your trading style is.



Man I should get paid for posting this kinda stuff lolz just kiddin'. Enjoy.

Hope it helps! Viva Kreslik!
