Five Consecutive Bar Scalping Strategy# This is a simple yet effective scalping strategy that aims to take advantage of buying/selling program activity on the 1 or 15 minute timeframe (May work on other timeframes). This is a momentum trade so it is important to recognize there is controlled momentum for this to work.
Trade Setup:
1. First ensure the candles are controlled, indicating dominance by a strong buyer or seller.
2. Look for 5 consecutive bars printed in a row on the 1 or 15 minute timeframe.
3. For entry, set a stop short or limit buy order beyond the 5th printed candle.
4. Place your stop loss just beyond the ATR range or at the nearest invalidation point.
5. Aim for a minimum risk-to-reward ratio of 1:2.
