Forex Scalping

Scalping in the forex market involves trading currencies based
on a set of real-time analysis. The purpose of scalping is to
make a profit by buying or selling currencies and holding the
position for a very short time and closing it for a small profit.
Many trades are placed throughout the trading day and the
system that is used by these traders is usually based on a set
of signals derived from technical analysis charting tools, and is
made up of a multitude of signals, that create a buy or sell
decision when they point in the same direction. A forex scalper
looks for a large number of trades for a small profit each time.
Scalping is a method where traders allow their positions to last
only for a matter of seconds, to a full minute and rarely longer
than that. (if a trader holds to a position for more than a
minute or two it is considered no longer a scalping, but rather
a regular trading.)



Forex Scalping Systems

A forex scalping system can be either manual, where the
trader looks for signals and interprets whether to buy or sell;
or automated, where the trader "teaches" the software what
signals to look for and how to interpret them. The timely
nature of technical analysis makes real-time charts the tool of
choice for forex scalpers.



Why Scalping?

The purpose of scalping is making small profits while exposing
a trading account to a very limited risk, which is due to a quick
open/close trading mode.

There wouldn’t be any point in scalping for many traders if
they weren’t offered to trade with highly leveraged accounts.
Only ability to operate with large funds of, actually, still virtual
money, empowers traders to profit from even a 2-3 pip move.



How do they do it?
Suppose a scalper opens a trading position of $1000 with
EUR/USD. For each pip he will now earn $10… Closing in with
only a 5 pip profit brings it up to $50 — not bad for less than a
minute of work…



Forex brokers for Scalping

min)

Forex Scalping Systems That Works:

Dear traders. I have been using scalping trading a lot. There
are 1000’s of scalping trading strategies on Forex, however
99% of them are useless.
I have picked 5 systems out of hundreds (my favorite) … The
following scalping systems proven to work fine, and you will be
able to make a good profit. Scalping trading is not easy for
beginners, please try the systems on your demo account for at
least one month before go live.



Recommendation for scalping systems:
”Try not to trade against the current short term trend” That
means if there is a “buy” signal but the current trend is down –
do not enter! Just wait and enter the trade on the next “sell”
signal…. Scalping traders usually never follow this simple rule
and lose their deposits… This rule does not apply for breakout
and news scalping systems.




All Systems:

  1. Open 15 or 30 min chart for example EUR/USD

  2. Determinate the current short term trend

  3. Draw trend lines. ( use “draw line” in your trading
     platform)
System 1

GBP/JPY Scalping

This strategy is great!

Usually You can expect: +79% of profitable trades.


Pairs: GBP/JPY or USD/JPY (gbp/jpy mainly)
Charts: 1Min, 5Min
Indicators: bollinger bands – 3 sets

Deviation 2 (Red) – Period 50
Deviation 3 (Pink) – Period 50
Deviation 4 (yellow) – Period 50

Target: 5-10 pips
Setup:

- Determinate a current short-term trend for the Pair that you
want to trade.



  1. Add 3 sets of Bollinger bands to your chat. you will

  2. Notice the 3 sets of bollinger bands on your chart. The
     price will always move between these lines – Red, Pink
     and Yellow.

3. How to entry - SELL: Watch when the price crosses the
upper red band , at least half way (or touch) to the pink band
(if it gets to the yellow band is much stronger signal..) Then
the price will tend to retrace towards the center of the
bollinger bands, you profit form this retracing.
4. How to entry – BUY: it is the same as selling, the difference
is that we will wait for the price to range between the lower
red and yellow bands, and trade the retracing towards the
center.



Note for This system: do not trade on ranging do not trade on
the news releases.

Stop Loss: since this strategy requires you to look at the
screen (remember this is the 1M time frame) I tend to have
two kinds of stops: time based and loss based.
Time based: Try and figure out how long will it take the
market to get in your expected direction, if the time that you
planned is already due, then close the order. No point on
waiting for a loss...

Stop Loss: Since you are trading a very tight time frame your
stops should also very very tight. Sometimes, you will profit
from a 3 minute trade and you wont be able to set a proper
S/L. So your stops will be given to you by your money
management system...




System 2

1 Min Scalping with Pivot points

Intro: Pivot points are a popular tool used by traders in all
sorts of markets. And, sure enough, pivot points are readily
applied to trading currency futures.

Pivot points are support and resistance levels derived from the
previous period's high, low, and closing values. There are a
variety of pivot values with which to trade, including monthly,
weekly, and daily values. You could even calculate hourly
values. When determining which period to trade with, you've
got to consider your time frame as an individual and your
particular style. I'll use daily pivot points for the purpose of
this article since the focus is day trading.

Daily pivot points give a structure to each new trading day in
the currency market. With these values you can use traditional
support and resistance techniques to enter and exit trades.
But before I get to the strategy, I'll show you how to calculate
pivot values.

Pivot Point (PP) = (High + Low + Close) / 3
Resistance 1 (R1) = (2 x Pivot Point) - Low
Support 1 (S1) = (2 x Pivot Point) - High
Resistance 2 (R2) = Pivot Point + (Resistance 1 - Support 1)
Support 2 (S2) = Pivot Point - (Resistance 1 - Support 1)
The pivot values are plotted as horizontal levels which, in turn,
serve as support and resistance. The pivot point itself can be
thought of as the day's mid-point, or fulcrum. It's where the
buyers and sellers meet to determine the day's trend in a
currency pair. The support and resistance levels that are
plotted around the pivot point are just that: potential support
and resistance.




The idea: Pivot points are great levels of support and
resistance. The moment price comes and touches them it
bounces off like a tennis ball.

Usually You can expect: 69-79% winning trades.


Pairs: EUR/USD GBP/USD GBP/JPY

Charts: 1Min, 5Min

Target: 5-10 pips
A pivot point and the associated support and resistance levels
are often turning points for the direction of price movement in
a market. In an up-trending market, the pivot point and the
resistance levels may represent a ceiling level in price above
which the uptrend is no longer sustainable and a reversal may
occur. In a declining market, a pivot point and the support
levels may represent a low price level of stability or a
resistance to further decline.)

Setup:

- Determinate current short term trend for the Pair that you
want to trade.

1. Calculate Daily pivot points for your favorite currency pair.
For calculation use data from 5 pm Eastern time to 5 pm next
day Eastern time.

2. Watch your 1 minute chart. Be patient. Let price touch any
of pivot point lines, or come at least on pip away from it.
Believe me, your patience will pay off.

3. The price do touch pivots 90% of the times. 90% is a lot.
Enter with larger than you would regularly do order, but be
reasonable.

4. Set stop loss 3 pips + spread on the other side of the pivot
line.


5. Take profit once available - I would usually close my trade
within the first completed 1 minute candle and as soon as I'm
profitable.




System 3

News Releases Scalping

Great system – almost zero risk

Pairs: related to the News
Setup:

  1. Open an Economic Calendar

  2. Look for the important news to be released.

  3. Choose the most influential ones that are expected to
     shake the market well.

  4. Once got news (last can be found in any Forex economic
     calendar) find out which currency pair is going to be
     affected.




  5. 15 minutes before the data is released place buy/sell
     stop orders on both sides 15 pips away from the current
     price. Half an hour prior to the big news Forex market
     usually flats out – no significant trading is done, currency
     is often “stuck” in a small tight range.

When important news is released, the currency will move
easily, producing large pip movements in either direction.
Using this scalping strategy, traders will be able to get in and
out of the trade in seconds at almost zero risk.
After studying for a while a particular currency pair and its
reaction to the news, traders can predict direction of price
spikes and the length of the move in pips to set entries and
profit targets more accurately.



System 4

Psychological levels scalping

This is a very powerful winning strategy!!!

FX day traders should be able to identify price areas where
large order flows will be triggered through the interbank
market,

and take advantage of the moves that are created by them.
Such levels include major areas of support and resistance on
the daily chart and also round numbers such as double zeros -
for example EUR/USD 1.3700.
Careful placement of stop loss and profit target orders enables
us to execute trades with a strongly positive risk/reward
factor.

One should note that stop loss orders are normally placed
somewhat beyond the key round figure numbers and profit
taking orders are normally right at the key levels.
Attempting to catch a rebound off a major level is best
executed when there are other technical factors supporting the
rebound.

 We only use psychological levels to enter our trades. One of
the main rules is – Never trade against the intraday trend.
Levels are every 00, 25, 50, 75, 00.

00 and 50 works the best!

By knowing about those psychological levels in trading, you
can take benefit from trading around them.
The most powerful psychological levels are 50 and 00 levels.
(From the previous example with EUR/USD these would be
1.2750, 1.2800, 1.2850 and so on). If you look to place a
trading stop, you should try to avoid those levels, instead look
to place a stop few pips further away, behind the psychological
levels, in order to stand a fair chance for a trade to prove that
it was a losing trade, and you were not taken out by the
momentum that swept you order away around the well known
psychological level.
If you are, on the other hand, looking to take profits from a
winning trade, try to squeeze your Take Profit order 3-4 pips
earlier than the next coming powerful psychological level. This
3-4 pips sacrifice will make sure you get a reward before the
market reacts on a new round number and makes a u-turn.
It is not allowed to enter twice in 1 hour. This is to prevent
you from overtrading. Remember you only need 2% a day to
get rich in the future all the rest is fun but can be greedy.

Note:

First of all this is a scalping method. A lot of great traders use
only psychological levels. There is no take profit, you grab
what you can. When you feel confident with this method you
can trade from level to level. You only need 2% daily to get
rich. Why don't take 10 pips if your target is 30 pips away and
your SL is at 50. I would have taken the 10 instead of the -50.
That's called money management.
Tip: Watch out on the third and fourth level. At these levels
price will turn very often.
The point of this method is: You don't need indicators they are
all lagging. Trade what you see.



System 5

Easy Stochastic Indicator Scalping

This is very profitable scalping system where you don’t have to
think at all. The Stochastic Indicator will do it for you.

Timeframe: 5min chart

Pairs: EUR/USD and GBP/USD

Indicator: Stochastic – parameters 13/8

Trade:

1. Open 15 or 30 min chart and determinate the current trend.
2. If trend is up – use long (buy) trades only. Let’s say the
   current trend is up and the price has been up. Then the
   market pulls back – the stochastic indicator crosses down
   too. No Entry here (current trend is UP).

3. Once the price bounces the bottom (support) and goes up
   again – wait till stochastic crosses and place “buy” order (go
   long..)




  4. Always place a stop loss 2 pips below the stochastic
     crosses... Target 5-10 pips profit.

  5. The opposite rules if the trend is down..
Scalping tips:



But there are several things that newer Forex scalpers must
take into consideration. This is the main point of this article.
So please pay attention and I assure you that you will be a
proficient Forex scalper in no time flat!

1. Always ask if it's allowed.

This is the first and biggest thing that you need to do when
scalping Forex. So always make sure your brokerage allows
you to trade with this amazing style! I like to call and talk to a
manager or someone important. I have asked people on the
chat if scalping forex was allowed, they all said that it was.
Call and ask your broker, it was well worth it.

2. Scalping in numbers is the secret!

Remember earlier when I told you that scalping a single pair
won't make you much money? Have you ever heard of the
saying, "There's power in numbers?" Well this is a scientific
fact, that has been proven over and over again. When you
scalp a pair make sure that you purchase a high amount. This
is to maximize your profits. So if your trade makes 2 pips you
can make upwards of a couple hundred to a couple thousand
dollars.

3. Be careful.

This is probably going to be one of the most important tips
ever. Along with the quick profits, you can and most likely will
come across a couple losses on this magical Forex scalping
journey! This is why you have to be able to accept these
losses. Trading on a small scale can be easier for some. I
always suggest that newer traders should really try to scalp on
a demo account. Get comfortable with trading on a short term
scale. I would advise that you should only scalp on a live
account when you feel 100% comfortable with every trade.
Imagine the demo account being your money. Imagine taking
a huge loss in real life when you make a mistake. When you
feel fully comfortable with everything even after a big loss,
then you are ready grasshopper.

4. Scalp the Forex market with a plan!

This is the best way to avoid losses during your adventure.
Use that demo account that we talked about earlier to find a
suitable set of indicators or oscillators or even both! The demo
account allows you to trade in a real time setting while trying
out different systems. This can greatly increase your odds of
making a good profit. Try every single combination of technical
indicators. Do this until you find a pair that you like. Once you
find one then you will truly be on your Forex scalping journey.
Please make sure that you use my tips.

  • 3. Forex Scalping Scalping in the forex market involves trading currencies based on a set of real-time analysis. The purpose of scalping is to make a profit by buying or selling currencies and holding the position for a very short time and closing it for a small profit. Many trades are placed throughout the trading day and the system that is used by these traders is usually based on a set of signals derived from technical analysis charting tools, and is made up of a multitude of signals, that create a buy or sell decision when they point in the same direction. A forex scalper looks for a large number of trades for a small profit each time. Scalping is a method where traders allow their positions to last only for a matter of seconds, to a full minute and rarely longer than that. (if a trader holds to a position for more than a minute or two it is considered no longer a scalping, but rather a regular trading.) Forex Scalping Systems A forex scalping system can be either manual, where the trader looks for signals and interprets whether to buy or sell; or automated, where the trader "teaches" the software what signals to look for and how to interpret them. The timely nature of technical analysis makes real-time charts the tool of choice for forex scalpers. Why Scalping? The purpose of scalping is making small profits while exposing a trading account to a very limited risk, which is due to a quick open/close trading mode. There wouldn’t be any point in scalping for many traders if they weren’t offered to trade with highly leveraged accounts. Only ability to operate with large funds of, actually, still virtual money, empowers traders to profit from even a 2-3 pip move. How do they do it?

  • 5. able to make a good profit. Scalping trading is not easy for beginners, please try the systems on your demo account for at least one month before go live. Recommendation for scalping systems: ”Try not to trade against the current short term trend” That means if there is a “buy” signal but the current trend is down – do not enter! Just wait and enter the trade on the next “sell” signal…. Scalping traders usually never follow this simple rule and lose their deposits… This rule does not apply for breakout and news scalping systems. All Systems: 1. Open 15 or 30 min chart for example EUR/USD 2. Determinate the current short term trend 3. Draw trend lines. ( use “draw line” in your trading platform)
  • 6. System 1 GBP/JPY Scalping This strategy is great! Usually You can expect: +79% of profitable trades. Pairs: GBP/JPY or USD/JPY (gbp/jpy mainly) Charts: 1Min, 5Min Indicators: bollinger bands – 3 sets Deviation 2 (Red) – Period 50 Deviation 3 (Pink) – Period 50 Deviation 4 (yellow) – Period 50 Target: 5-10 pips
  • 7. Setup: - Determinate a current short-term trend for the Pair that you want to trade. 1. Add 3 sets of Bollinger bands to your chat. you will 2. Notice the 3 sets of bollinger bands on your chart. The price will always move between these lines – Red, Pink and Yellow. 3. How to entry - SELL: Watch when the price crosses the upper red band , at least half way (or touch) to the pink band (if it gets to the yellow band is much stronger signal..) Then the price will tend to retrace towards the center of the bollinger bands, you profit form this retracing.
  • 8. 4. How to entry – BUY: it is the same as selling, the difference is that we will wait for the price to range between the lower red and yellow bands, and trade the retracing towards the center. Note for This system: do not trade on ranging do not trade on the news releases. Stop Loss: since this strategy requires you to look at the screen (remember this is the 1M time frame) I tend to have two kinds of stops: time based and loss based.
  • 9. Time based: Try and figure out how long will it take the market to get in your expected direction, if the time that you planned is already due, then close the order. No point on waiting for a loss... Stop Loss: Since you are trading a very tight time frame your stops should also very very tight. Sometimes, you will profit from a 3 minute trade and you wont be able to set a proper S/L. So your stops will be given to you by your money management system... System 2 1 Min Scalping with Pivot points Intro: Pivot points are a popular tool used by traders in all sorts of markets. And, sure enough, pivot points are readily applied to trading currency futures. Pivot points are support and resistance levels derived from the previous period's high, low, and closing values. There are a variety of pivot values with which to trade, including monthly, weekly, and daily values. You could even calculate hourly values. When determining which period to trade with, you've got to consider your time frame as an individual and your particular style. I'll use daily pivot points for the purpose of this article since the focus is day trading. Daily pivot points give a structure to each new trading day in the currency market. With these values you can use traditional support and resistance techniques to enter and exit trades. But before I get to the strategy, I'll show you how to calculate pivot values. Pivot Point (PP) = (High + Low + Close) / 3 Resistance 1 (R1) = (2 x Pivot Point) - Low Support 1 (S1) = (2 x Pivot Point) - High Resistance 2 (R2) = Pivot Point + (Resistance 1 - Support 1) Support 2 (S2) = Pivot Point - (Resistance 1 - Support 1)
  • 10. The pivot values are plotted as horizontal levels which, in turn, serve as support and resistance. The pivot point itself can be thought of as the day's mid-point, or fulcrum. It's where the buyers and sellers meet to determine the day's trend in a currency pair. The support and resistance levels that are plotted around the pivot point are just that: potential support and resistance. The idea: Pivot points are great levels of support and resistance. The moment price comes and touches them it bounces off like a tennis ball. Usually You can expect: 69-79% winning trades. Pairs: EUR/USD GBP/USD GBP/JPY Charts: 1Min, 5Min Target: 5-10 pips
  • 11. A pivot point and the associated support and resistance levels are often turning points for the direction of price movement in a market. In an up-trending market, the pivot point and the resistance levels may represent a ceiling level in price above which the uptrend is no longer sustainable and a reversal may occur. In a declining market, a pivot point and the support levels may represent a low price level of stability or a resistance to further decline.) Setup: - Determinate current short term trend for the Pair that you want to trade. 1. Calculate Daily pivot points for your favorite currency pair. For calculation use data from 5 pm Eastern time to 5 pm next day Eastern time. 2. Watch your 1 minute chart. Be patient. Let price touch any of pivot point lines, or come at least on pip away from it. Believe me, your patience will pay off. 3. The price do touch pivots 90% of the times. 90% is a lot. Enter with larger than you would regularly do order, but be reasonable. 4. Set stop loss 3 pips + spread on the other side of the pivot line. 5. Take profit once available - I would usually close my trade within the first completed 1 minute candle and as soon as I'm profitable. System 3 News Releases Scalping Great system – almost zero risk Pairs: related to the News
  • 12. Setup: 1. Open an Economic Calendar 2. Look for the important news to be released. 3. Choose the most influential ones that are expected to shake the market well. 4. Once got news (last can be found in any Forex economic calendar) find out which currency pair is going to be affected. 5. 15 minutes before the data is released place buy/sell stop orders on both sides 15 pips away from the current price. Half an hour prior to the big news Forex market usually flats out – no significant trading is done, currency is often “stuck” in a small tight range. When important news is released, the currency will move easily, producing large pip movements in either direction. Using this scalping strategy, traders will be able to get in and out of the trade in seconds at almost zero risk.
  • 13. After studying for a while a particular currency pair and its reaction to the news, traders can predict direction of price spikes and the length of the move in pips to set entries and profit targets more accurately. System 4 Psychological levels scalping This is a very powerful winning strategy!!! FX day traders should be able to identify price areas where large order flows will be triggered through the interbank market, and take advantage of the moves that are created by them. Such levels include major areas of support and resistance on the daily chart and also round numbers such as double zeros - for example EUR/USD 1.3700. Careful placement of stop loss and profit target orders enables us to execute trades with a strongly positive risk/reward factor. One should note that stop loss orders are normally placed somewhat beyond the key round figure numbers and profit taking orders are normally right at the key levels. Attempting to catch a rebound off a major level is best executed when there are other technical factors supporting the rebound. We only use psychological levels to enter our trades. One of the main rules is – Never trade against the intraday trend. Levels are every 00, 25, 50, 75, 00. 00 and 50 works the best! By knowing about those psychological levels in trading, you can take benefit from trading around them. The most powerful psychological levels are 50 and 00 levels. (From the previous example with EUR/USD these would be 1.2750, 1.2800, 1.2850 and so on). If you look to place a trading stop, you should try to avoid those levels, instead look to place a stop few pips further away, behind the psychological
  • 14. levels, in order to stand a fair chance for a trade to prove that it was a losing trade, and you were not taken out by the momentum that swept you order away around the well known psychological level. If you are, on the other hand, looking to take profits from a winning trade, try to squeeze your Take Profit order 3-4 pips earlier than the next coming powerful psychological level. This 3-4 pips sacrifice will make sure you get a reward before the market reacts on a new round number and makes a u-turn. It is not allowed to enter twice in 1 hour. This is to prevent you from overtrading. Remember you only need 2% a day to get rich in the future all the rest is fun but can be greedy. Note: First of all this is a scalping method. A lot of great traders use only psychological levels. There is no take profit, you grab what you can. When you feel confident with this method you can trade from level to level. You only need 2% daily to get rich. Why don't take 10 pips if your target is 30 pips away and your SL is at 50. I would have taken the 10 instead of the -50. That's called money management. Tip: Watch out on the third and fourth level. At these levels price will turn very often. The point of this method is: You don't need indicators they are all lagging. Trade what you see. System 5 Easy Stochastic Indicator Scalping This is very profitable scalping system where you don’t have to think at all. The Stochastic Indicator will do it for you. Timeframe: 5min chart Pairs: EUR/USD and GBP/USD Indicator: Stochastic – parameters 13/8 Trade: 1. Open 15 or 30 min chart and determinate the current trend.
  • 15. 2. If trend is up – use long (buy) trades only. Let’s say the current trend is up and the price has been up. Then the market pulls back – the stochastic indicator crosses down too. No Entry here (current trend is UP). 3. Once the price bounces the bottom (support) and goes up again – wait till stochastic crosses and place “buy” order (go long..) 4. Always place a stop loss 2 pips below the stochastic crosses... Target 5-10 pips profit. 5. The opposite rules if the trend is down..
  • 16. Scalping tips: But there are several things that newer Forex scalpers must take into consideration. This is the main point of this article. So please pay attention and I assure you that you will be a proficient Forex scalper in no time flat! 1. Always ask if it's allowed. This is the first and biggest thing that you need to do when scalping Forex. So always make sure your brokerage allows you to trade with this amazing style! I like to call and talk to a manager or someone important. I have asked people on the chat if scalping forex was allowed, they all said that it was. Call and ask your broker, it was well worth it. 2. Scalping in numbers is the secret! Remember earlier when I told you that scalping a single pair won't make you much money? Have you ever heard of the saying, "There's power in numbers?" Well this is a scientific fact, that has been proven over and over again. When you scalp a pair make sure that you purchase a high amount. This is to maximize your profits. So if your trade makes 2 pips you can make upwards of a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars. 3. Be careful. This is probably going to be one of the most important tips ever. Along with the quick profits, you can and most likely will come across a couple losses on this magical Forex scalping journey! This is why you have to be able to accept these losses. Trading on a small scale can be easier for some. I always suggest that newer traders should really try to scalp on

Imagine the demo account being your money. Imagine taking a huge loss in real life when you make a mistake. When you feel fully comfortable with everything even after a big loss, then you are ready grasshopper. 4. Scalp the Forex market with a plan! This is the best way to avoid losses during your adventure. Use that demo account that we talked about earlier to find a suitable set of indicators or oscillators or even both! The demo account allows you to trade in a real time setting while trying out different systems. This can greatly increase your odds of making a good profit. Try every single combination of technical indicators. Do this until you find a pair that you like. Once you find one then you will truly be on your Forex scalping journey. Please make sure that you use my tips. Warm regards Karl Dittmann www.forex1min.com
