  1. 0:00Most traders spend years trying to find
  2. 0:02the perfect scalping setup. But what if
  3. 0:04I told you the most consistent one takes
  4. 0:06just 1 minute and three simple
  5. 0:09indicators?
  6. 0:10If you're new here, I'm your trading
  7. 0:12buddy who loves making things simple.
  8. 0:15Today, I'll show you a one minute
  9. 0:17scalping strategy using EMA 12, EMA 26,
  10. 0:22and Ballinger bands. A setup that can
  11. 0:25change the way you look at the charts
  12. 0:27forever.
  13. 0:29And don't worry, this is not another
  14. 0:31over complicated system. It's clean,
  15. 0:34fast, and extremely effective for both
  16. 0:37beginners and pros.
  17. 0:39Let's jump right into it.
  18. 0:42Okay, let's start with the setup. We're
  19. 0:45using a 1 minute time frame, and you can
  20. 0:47do this on any forex pair, crypto, or
  21. 0:50even indices as long as you have good
  22. 0:53volatility.
  23. 0:55Now add your first two indicators. EMA
  24. 0:5812, set it to yellow so it's easy to
  25. 1:01see. EMA 26, set it to blue. These two
  26. 1:06are going to help you spot short-term
  27. 1:08momentum shifts. Then add Ballinger
  28. 1:10bands with the standard settings. Period
  29. 1:1320 deviation 2. That's all you need. You
  30. 1:17don't need RSI, MACD, or anything else.
  31. 1:21Simplicity is the key here. Now, let's
  32. 1:24go a bit deeper into the entry rules
  33. 1:27because this is where 90% of traders
  34. 1:30either make money or lose it. When
  35. 1:34you're trading this one minute strategy,
  36. 1:36your biggest advantage is speed plus
  37. 1:39clarity. You don't want to sit around
  38. 1:41guessing. That's why we use these
  39. 1:43indicators together. They give visual
  40. 1:46confirmation fast. So, here's exactly
  41. 1:49how you enter a buy setup. Wait for the
  42. 1:52EMA 12 yellow to cross above the EMA 26
  43. 1:58blue. This tells you momentum has
  44. 2:01shifted upward. Don't rush in right
  45. 2:04away. Let the price pull back.
  46. 2:07Ideally, you want the next candle to
  47. 2:10touch or slightly dip below the middle
  48. 2:12Ballinger band. That's your signal that
  49. 2:15price is taking a breath before
  50. 2:17continuing up. Once that happens and the
  51. 2:20next candle turns bullish, boom, that's
  52. 2:23your confirmation candle, enter the
  53. 2:26trade at the open of that candle. Now
  54. 2:29for the sell setup, wait for EMA 12 to
  55. 2:32cross below EMA 26. Watch the price
  56. 2:36climb back toward the middle band or
  57. 2:38slightly above it. Once a bearish candle
  58. 2:41forms right after that touch, you enter
  59. 2:44short.
  60. 2:46The beauty of this system is that it
  61. 2:48filters out most fake moves. You're not
  62. 2:51chasing candles. You're waiting for the
  63. 2:54market to breathe before you strike.
  64. 2:56Let's talk about stop-loss and take
  65. 2:59profit because that's where real traders
  66. 3:01are made. Your stop loss should always
  67. 3:04go below the most recent swing low for
  68. 3:06buys or above the swing high for sells.
  69. 3:11Try to keep it tight around 5 to 10 pips
  70. 3:14on major pairs or 0.1 to 0.2% on crypto.
  71. 3:19You're scalping, not swinging. The goal
  72. 3:22is quick, precise profits. For take
  73. 3:25profit, aim for at least 1.5 times to
  74. 3:29two times your risk. A clean target is
  75. 3:32the outer Ballinger band in the
  76. 3:34direction of your trade. If price hits
  77. 3:37the opposite side of the band, it
  78. 3:39usually means momentum has cooled down.
  79. 3:42Take your profits and step out. Now,
  80. 3:45here's a pro tip most traders miss. When
  81. 3:48EMA 12 and 26 are parallel and close
  82. 3:51together, stay out. That means the
  83. 3:54market is consolidating. No clear trend,
  84. 3:58no clean trades. Wait for the lines to
  85. 4:00separate again before looking for a
  86. 4:02setup. If this already makes sense to
  87. 4:05you, hit that like button. It really
  88. 4:08helps more traders find strategies that
  89. 4:10actually work, not those overly
  90. 4:13complicated ones that confuse you more
  91. 4:15than they help. All right, let's walk
  92. 4:18through a realistic trade example step
  93. 4:20by step. Because theory means nothing
  94. 4:23until you see it in action. Let's say
  95. 4:26you're watching EUR/USD
  96. 4:30on the 1 minute chart during the London
  97. 4:32session around 900 a.m. GMT. The market
  98. 4:36is alive, candles are moving fast,
  99. 4:39spreads are tight, and volume is high.
  100. 4:42Perfect environment for scalping.
  101. 4:46You notice that the EMA12 just crossed
  102. 4:49above the EMA 26 about five candles ago
  103. 4:53and now the price is slowly pulling back
  104. 4:55toward the middle Ballinger band.
  105. 4:58That's exactly what you've been waiting
  106. 5:00for. You stay patient. One red candle,
  107. 5:03then another one that just barely dips
  108. 5:05below the middle band. That's your
  109. 5:08signal that price is pulling back inside
  110. 5:10the volatility zone. Then suddenly the
  111. 5:13next candle opens and starts pushing
  112. 5:16upward. Strong bullish body, little to
  113. 5:20no wick at the bottom. This is your
  114. 5:23entry point. You place a buy order right
  115. 5:26as the candle confirms. Set your stop
  116. 5:28loss eight pips below the most recent
  117. 5:31swing low and your takerit just below
  118. 5:34the upper Ballinger band.
  119. 5:37Within the next 2 to 3 minutes, price
  120. 5:39starts to climb. The EMAs are spreading
  121. 5:42apart. That's a great sign of momentum.
  122. 5:46You can literally feel the strength
  123. 5:48behind that move. As price touches the
  124. 5:51upper band, you're already sitting on a
  125. 5:53one to two riskreward win. Now imagine
  126. 5:57doing this three to five times a day.
  127. 6:00Not overtrading, not guessing, just
  128. 6:03waiting for these clean, high
  129. 6:05probability setups. And if you ever miss
  130. 6:07one, don't chase it. There's always
  131. 6:11another clean crossover coming. That's
  132. 6:14the beauty of a one minute strategy.
  133. 6:16Opportunities appear all day long.
  134. 6:20Now, listen carefully
  135. 6:22because this part is what separates
  136. 6:25lucky traders from consistent traders.
  137. 6:28You can have the best entry strategy in
  138. 6:30the world, but if you don't manage your
  139. 6:32risk, you'll still blow your account.
  140. 6:36Here's the truth. Scalping isn't about
  141. 6:39winning every trade. It's about
  142. 6:41protecting your capital so you can stay
  143. 6:43in the game long enough to let your edge
  144. 6:46work. Tip one, never risk more than 1%
  145. 6:51of your account per trade. That means if
  146. 6:54you lose three trades in a row, you're
  147. 6:56only down 3%.
  148. 6:59You can easily recover that with one
  149. 7:01good setup.
  150. 7:03Tip two, don't trade during low volume
  151. 7:06hours like late Asian session or just
  152. 7:09before major news events. Spreads widen,
  153. 7:12signals become unreliable, and you'll
  154. 7:15get trapped by fake moves. Tip three,
  155. 7:19always trade with a clear mind. If
  156. 7:22you're emotional, tired, or frustrated,
  157. 7:25skip the session. A missed trade is
  158. 7:28always better than a bad trade. And
  159. 7:30finally, remember, professional traders
  160. 7:34don't think how much can I make. They
  161. 7:37think how much can I lose and still be
  162. 7:40fine. Control your losses and profits
  163. 7:44will take care of themselves. If you
