HELLO TRADERS,
A pure forex scalper exits a position quickly if the cash in on doesn't go his way. He will make a level of trades a day, between 10 to a couple hundreds!
The main aim of the forex scalper is to buy (or sell) a particular pair of currency at the bid (or ask) price and then quickly sell them a few pips higher (or lower) for a profit.
When the Forex scalper uses this strategy, small profits can be easily compound into large gains, if a strict exit strategy is used to prevent accumulating large losses (yet -here i developed another techniques that work very good for me).
Most Forex scalper mostly makes use of 1 min, 5 mins or hourly charts to scalp for small profits in the forex market. Most of the good forex scalper will choose a brokerage house that provides a reliable platform( best is to scalp in Dukascopy platform, currenex or hotspot) with instant execution of orders, which is highly crucial to hits profits.
I was fortunate enough to know and work with some of the best day traders that scalps for a living. They have shared with me some of the main ingredients, which they use to scalp the market. In my tradingroom, I often explained my strategy i am currently using, and i'm going to summarize the scalping strategy which i have incubated, into 6 simple steps;
1st Step
Record the previous day OHLC (Open, High, Low, Close)
for all pairs you like to trade
2nd Step
Identify major trendlines, support and resistance on the H4 and daily charts (natural support and resistance)
3rd Step
Determine the market sentiments (Bullish or Bearish) for the day.
4th Step
Go to hourly charts and determine the support and resistance
5th Step
Go to M15 charts and determine the support and resistance, and then try to see the breakouts in the direction that H4 or daily showed you as a possible direction.
6th Step
Enter in market when price reached a support or resistance, best is to wait for 'bounce trade' with the trend. Speculate every support or resistence, or fibs levels.
Use a reliable money management. Take profit when you are in profit 5-7 10 pips and put stop loss breakeven. Let rest of position run 15-25-35 pips.
