  1. 0:00Imagine entering and exiting a trade
  2. 0:02within 10 minutes and just being done
  3. 0:04trading for the day. No indicators, no
  4. 0:06guessing, just price action and a
  5. 0:08Fibonacci tool on the 1 minute chart.
  6. 0:11This strategy is fast, clean, and highly
  7. 0:15accurate if you follow these rules. IFS,
  8. 0:18this video is for you. And for those of
  9. 0:20you that don't know, every single week I
  10. 0:22make a personalized video response to
  11. 0:24one of your questions in the comment
  12. 0:26section down below. IFS asked, "Thank
  13. 0:28you. Could you please make a video on
  14. 0:30trading the 1 minute time frame? I
  15. 0:31frequently get stopped out. Absolutely,
  16. 0:33bro. Let's get into it. Most traders
  17. 0:35think scalping means predicting the
  18. 0:37start of a big move. That is a recipe
  19. 0:40for frustration. The truth, scalping
  20. 0:43should be about catching a tiny
  21. 0:46predictable part of a move based on
  22. 0:48structure and momentum. Here's what you
  23. 0:50need for this strategy. the one minute
  24. 0:53chart, a basic understanding of trend
  25. 0:56structure, and a simple Fibonacci
  26. 0:58retracement tool. That's it. No
  27. 1:00indicators, no magic settings. So, why
  28. 1:03does the Fibonacci retracement tool work
  29. 1:06so well, especially for scalping?
  30. 1:08Fibonacci levels are based on ratios
  31. 1:11found in nature, like the 382, the 0.5,
  32. 1:16and the 618. And for whatever reason,
  33. 1:19markets tend to respect these zones.
  34. 1:22They act like invisible magnets. Price
  35. 1:25often pulls back to them before
  36. 1:27continuing the trend. In this strategy,
  37. 1:30we focus on the 0.5 to 618 retracement
  38. 1:33range, also called the gold zone because
  39. 1:36we are trading the markets and nature
  40. 1:39prevails in all aspects of life. And
  41. 1:41through all of my back testing, these
  42. 1:43are the most consistent levels which
  43. 1:46give you the best risk-to-reward ratio.
  44. 1:48Now, here is the strategy. First,
  45. 1:50identify a short-term trend. In a
  46. 1:52downtrend, you're looking for lower
  47. 1:54highs forming, and in an uptrend, you're
  48. 1:57looking for higher lows forming. Then,
  49. 1:59wait for a break of structure. That's
  50. 2:01your signal that price may retrace
  51. 2:03before continuing. Now take your
  52. 2:05Fibonacci tool and draw from the last
  53. 2:08lower high in a downtrend past the break
  54. 2:11to the start of the retracement. Wait
  55. 2:13for price to return to the 0.5 or 618
  56. 2:17zone, the golden zone. Enter a trade in
  57. 2:20the direction of the trend and exit at
  58. 2:22the previous low or a high in an
  59. 2:25uptrend. The strategy is super simple
  60. 2:28and if you need a quick cheat sheet,
  61. 2:29it's right here. Only trade on the one
  62. 2:32minute chart. Trade with the current
  63. 2:33micro trend. Wait for a break of
  64. 2:36structure. Only enter on the 0.5 or 618
  65. 2:39retracement. Exit at the previous swing
  66. 2:41low in a downtrend and swing high in an
  67. 2:44uptrend. And most importantly, if the
  68. 2:46momentum stalls or you're trading the
  69. 2:48wrong time, get out. All right. So, here
  70. 2:50you can see EuroUSD, the most
  71. 2:52manipulated pair of all time, still
  72. 2:55holding a trend on the 1 minute time
  73. 2:57frame. This is the setup. Make sure that
  74. 2:59your charts on the one minute time frame
  75. 3:00by selecting 1M on the top menu. Once
  76. 3:03price starts a trend and rejects at a
  77. 3:05specific level, you can already start
  78. 3:07drawing your trend line. Once price
  79. 3:09rejects the trend line, that's where you
  80. 3:11want to start. This right here is known
  81. 3:13as a break of structure. You take your
  82. 3:16Fibonacci retracement tool from the top
  83. 3:18of that move to the bottom of the move
  84. 3:21and you wait for price to get into the
  85. 3:23Fibonacci gold zone and you enter a
  86. 3:26short position. You can even split the
  87. 3:28difference and put a limit order. Your
  88. 3:30stop loss is at the one level and your
  89. 3:32take-profit is at the previous swing
  90. 3:34low. This will always give you above a
  91. 3:361:1 risk-to-reward and it'll usually end
  92. 3:39up being a 1:1.5.
  93. 3:41Ideally, you want to enter in on the 618
  94. 3:44because it's going to give you the best
  95. 3:45risk-to-reward ratio. The reason why my
  96. 3:48price target is so low is because I'm
  97. 3:50skeptical and I'm always assuming a
  98. 3:53double bottom will form. So, we'll get a
  99. 3:55bottom and a double bottom and price
  100. 3:57will reverse. This is my safe bet. And
  101. 4:00as you can see, this trade played out in
  102. 4:02seven minutes. And sometimes all you
  103. 4:04need is one good trade for the day and
  104. 4:06you're done. But if you want to keep
  105. 4:07scalping all day, you can continue on.
  106. 4:09As long as price is holding the trend,
  107. 4:12you keep trading it. You take your
  108. 4:13Fibonacci retracement tool from every
  109. 4:16single swing that broke structure. Look
  110. 4:19for retracements to the Fibonacci gold
  111. 4:21zone. Again, I really like entering on
  112. 4:23the 618, even with a limit order, and
  113. 4:25you're getting 1 to 1.5 risk-to-rewards.
  114. 4:28The trades close usually within 10 to 15
  115. 4:31minutes. And you're going to mark this
  116. 4:33up for every single break of structure,
  117. 4:36and you're going to try to take every
  118. 4:38single one of them. Sometimes momentum
  119. 4:40carries and it won't retrace to a fib
  120. 4:43level. That's fine. If price continues,
  121. 4:46you just mark the next break of
  122. 4:49structure. You get into your short
  123. 4:50positions at the 618 and you target the
  124. 4:53previous swing low. And you keep doing
  125. 4:56this until you get into a trade where
  126. 4:59the price retraces to the 618 and you
  127. 5:01get into a short position and you end up
  128. 5:04getting stopped out. In order to do this
  129. 5:06strategy, you will have losing trades.
  130. 5:09But that's a good thing because it is
  131. 5:11your signal to let you know that you
  132. 5:14should be looking for the opposite
  133. 5:15positions. Now, if you are going short
  134. 5:18in a downtrend, you are now looking for
  135. 5:20long positions. And that's okay because
  136. 5:22if you took all of these trades in this
  137. 5:24downtrend, you were up 6%, losing one,
  138. 5:27taking you down 1% with a total profit
  139. 5:29of 5%. Each one of these trades less
  140. 5:32than 10 minutes, some of them so rapid
  141. 5:34that they closed in 2 minutes. This is
  142. 5:36scalping at its finest, and it's
  143. 5:38something that I've been using for
  144. 5:39years. This is my goto Fibonacci
  145. 5:43retracement one minute scalping
  146. 5:44strategy. And just so that you guys can
  147. 5:46see, once you've gotten your stop-loss
  148. 5:48hit on that losing trade, you start
  149. 5:51going long. You start looking for those
  150. 5:52breaks of structures and retracements to
  151. 5:55the Fibonacci gold zone. You enter in
  152. 5:57your long positions and you start
  153. 5:59following the new uptrend. And if you
  154. 6:01guys are curious about my Fibonacci
  155. 6:03retracement tool and the settings, you
  156. 6:05have the start and the end as well as
  157. 6:08the Fibonacci gold zone and Fibonacci
  158. 6:11extensions if you want to trailing
  159. 6:13stop-loss your trades writing the
  160. 6:15momentum of the trade. Here are my
  161. 6:17settings. All you do is draw up your
  162. 6:19Fibonacci tool, hit the settings icon,
  163. 6:22and change it to what I have here on
