  1. 0:00a lot of you guys keep asking me what is
  2. 0:02the best time frame to scalp on now the
  3. 0:05definition of scalping is a short
  4. 0:08position in and out in a short period of
  5. 0:11time so obviously lower time frames are
  6. 0:14going to be better in this video i'm
  7. 0:16going to show you which ones i like and
  8. 0:17why
  9. 0:19[Music]
  10. 0:21welcome back to the channel everybody my
  11. 0:22name is artie and this is the moving
  12. 0:24average a show where we discuss
  13. 0:25everything day trading to keep you
  14. 0:27profitable now if you guys remember my
  15. 0:29last video where i talked about the
  16. 0:31three line strike on a five minute time
  17. 0:33frame you could see how many subsequent
  18. 0:34winning trades we had in this one solid
  19. 0:38trend we got eight amazing trades which
  20. 0:42would have gotten you 16 profit in 14
  21. 0:45hours now if you did not trade this
  22. 0:47tokyo session which i recommend you
  23. 0:49don't because it's super low volume and
  24. 0:51the trades take forever but if you're an
  25. 0:53early bird like i am you can see that
  26. 0:56pretty much each one of these trades the
  27. 0:59first one took two hours the second one
  28. 1:01took an hour and a half third one got
  29. 1:03stopped out in 20 minutes two hours on
  30. 1:05this trade and
  31. 1:0750 minutes on the next one in and out of
  32. 1:09the market quickly one to two hours if
  33. 1:13you want to get hyper aggressive with it
  34. 1:15you can drop down to the one minute time
  35. 1:17frame but on this time frame your stop
  36. 1:20losses are gonna be approximately six
  37. 1:23pips i don't want you going lower than
  38. 1:25six pips if you want to drop down to the
  39. 1:28lower time frame it is substantially
  40. 1:30more risky i don't want you to have
  41. 1:33these ridiculous stop losses like two
  42. 1:35and three pips
  43. 1:37minimum i want you to have four pips and
  44. 1:39that's including your spread with a one
  45. 1:41to two risk to reward you're looking at
  46. 1:43eight pips this trade played out in 13
  47. 1:45minutes you will inherently have more
  48. 1:48losses with this strategy because if you
  49. 1:51look on a one minute time frame you are
  50. 1:53not getting a good idea of what the
  51. 1:56actual market structure is you are
  52. 1:58simply scalping extremely short-term
  53. 2:00price action moves your win rate on this
  54. 2:03is substantially lower than it is on a
  55. 2:05five-minute time frame if you decide to
  56. 2:07go with the one minute you need to back
  57. 2:09test the exact time frame that you're
  58. 2:11trading every single day for at least
  59. 2:13100 days not 100 trades 100 days trading
  60. 2:18between that time frame so you could
  61. 2:20have 11 trades per day for a hundred
  62. 2:23days i want you to figure out what time
  63. 2:25works best for you because this one
  64. 2:27again is massively massively risky and
  65. 2:29if you are a beginner do not freaking do
  66. 2:31it a three minute time frame is going to
  67. 2:33give you a little bit more leeway and
  68. 2:35wiggle room when it comes to being able
  69. 2:37to spot the trend but still you want to
  70. 2:40keep a tight stop loss on this and again
  71. 2:42the win rate will be lower for those of
  72. 2:44you asking if you can scalp on a 15
  73. 2:46minute time frame on 4x pairs i would
  74. 2:50not recommend it because 15 minute
  75. 2:52candles are so much bigger than one
  76. 2:54minute and five minute candles you want
  77. 2:56to increase your stop losses from the 10
  78. 2:58pips that you would have on a five
  79. 3:00minute chart
  80. 3:02two above the swing high that it had so
  81. 3:05price dipped down swung up and down you
  82. 3:08want your stop loss at a comfortable
  83. 3:09distance above that for this it's 13
  84. 3:12pips for this next move it is 15 pips to
  85. 3:15get a one to two risk to reward ratio
  86. 3:17you're looking at 30 pips on this move
  87. 3:19and 28 pips on this move this was an
  88. 3:22hour and 15 minute trade and this was a
  89. 3:24three and a half hour trade
  90. 3:26these trades take substantially more
  91. 3:28time than on a five minute time frame
  92. 3:30and at that point when you're having
  93. 3:32three to four six hour trades it's not
  94. 3:35scalping anymore if you want to scalp on
  95. 3:37a 15 minute chart and you have the
  96. 3:39capital to do so i would suggest indices
  97. 3:42but that is a whole nother topic it's
  98. 3:45not pips it's points you have to have
  99. 3:48far greater capital for it and if you're
  100. 3:50a beginner trader i would not touch
  101. 3:52indices or gold with a 10 foot pole i
  102. 3:55really hope that i was able to shed some
  103. 3:56light on these scalping time frames and
  104. 3:58which ones i prefer if you didn't notice
  105. 4:01five minute scalping is my favorite so
