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