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

- 7:59strategy using EMA 12 over 26 and
- 8:04Ballinger bands.

- 8:09the market rewards patience, not panic.
