5M Channel Scalping - 100pips \ week

 

A strategy I have been trading for a month now... Works great.

Its stupidly simple, but it works.. So I don't mind =]

Basically - I trade only high-probability setups, usually with channels.

I focus on tight stop loss, reasonable Risk:Reward ratio and pre-calculation of take profit. I don't use indicators nor trailing stop loss of any kind. I like 'Fire and forget' type of strategies - Enter and go back to sleep hahaha.

I will write a thorough guide later, with instructions of the exact place to enter, how to determine Stop Loss and Take Profit.

Meanwhile.. Enjoy these examples:

 

So like I said I am going to post the system here....

First of all, the main thing is theentry.

My entries are based on pullbacks, so we are going to start by learning how to identify a pullback.

Pullback occurs when price retests a level it broke in the past. So if you look at the chart I attached.

We see that price had broken through a support line, and tested it.

If price goes down (a bearish candle was formed) I will enter the trade.

For longs the story is a bit more complicated, so please be patient...

How exit is calculated:

First of all, calculate the channel size - Decide on a price point, and subtract the price of support from the price of resistance.

Look at the chart I provided to learn how I calculate channel size.

These are the basic rules. More tips about this strategy and extended rules are available here.

Trading plan for next week:

3 Set-ups in the making, if a pullback will occur I will enter.
