The 1-Minute Fibonacci Scalping Strategy (That Actually Works) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Imagine entering and exiting a trade
- 0:02within 10 minutes and just being done
- 0:04trading for the day. No indicators, no
- 0:06guessing, just price action and a
- 0:08Fibonacci tool on the 1 minute chart.
- 0:11This strategy is fast, clean, and highly
- 0:15accurate if you follow these rules. IFS,
- 0:18this video is for you. And for those of
- 0:20you that don't know, every single week I
- 0:22make a personalized video response to
- 0:24one of your questions in the comment
- 0:26section down below. IFS asked, "Thank
- 0:28you. Could you please make a video on
- 0:30trading the 1 minute time frame? I
- 0:31frequently get stopped out. Absolutely,
- 0:33bro. Let's get into it. Most traders
- 0:35think scalping means predicting the
- 0:37start of a big move. That is a recipe
- 0:40for frustration. The truth, scalping
- 0:43should be about catching a tiny
- 0:46predictable part of a move based on
- 0:48structure and momentum. Here's what you
- 0:50need for this strategy. the one minute
- 0:53chart, a basic understanding of trend
- 0:56structure, and a simple Fibonacci
- 0:58retracement tool. That's it. No
- 1:00indicators, no magic settings. So, why
- 1:03does the Fibonacci retracement tool work
- 1:06so well, especially for scalping?
- 1:08Fibonacci levels are based on ratios
- 1:11found in nature, like the 382, the 0.5,
- 1:16and the 618. And for whatever reason,
- 1:19markets tend to respect these zones.
- 1:22They act like invisible magnets. Price
- 1:25often pulls back to them before
- 1:27continuing the trend. In this strategy,
- 1:30we focus on the 0.5 to 618 retracement
- 1:33range, also called the gold zone because
- 1:36we are trading the markets and nature
- 1:39prevails in all aspects of life. And
- 1:41through all of my back testing, these
- 1:43are the most consistent levels which
- 1:46give you the best risk-to-reward ratio.
- 1:48Now, here is the strategy. First,
- 1:50identify a short-term trend. In a
- 1:52downtrend, you're looking for lower
- 1:54highs forming, and in an uptrend, you're
- 1:57looking for higher lows forming. Then,
- 1:59wait for a break of structure. That's
- 2:01your signal that price may retrace
- 2:03before continuing. Now take your
- 2:05Fibonacci tool and draw from the last
- 2:08lower high in a downtrend past the break
- 2:11to the start of the retracement. Wait
- 2:13for price to return to the 0.5 or 618
- 2:17zone, the golden zone. Enter a trade in
- 2:20the direction of the trend and exit at
- 2:22the previous low or a high in an
- 2:25uptrend. The strategy is super simple
- 2:28and if you need a quick cheat sheet,
- 2:29it's right here. Only trade on the one
- 2:32minute chart. Trade with the current
- 2:33micro trend. Wait for a break of
- 2:36structure. Only enter on the 0.5 or 618
- 2:39retracement. Exit at the previous swing
- 2:41low in a downtrend and swing high in an
- 2:44uptrend. And most importantly, if the
- 2:46momentum stalls or you're trading the
- 2:48wrong time, get out. All right. So, here
- 2:50you can see EuroUSD, the most
- 2:52manipulated pair of all time, still
- 2:55holding a trend on the 1 minute time
- 2:57frame. This is the setup. Make sure that
- 2:59your charts on the one minute time frame
- 3:00by selecting 1M on the top menu. Once
- 3:03price starts a trend and rejects at a
- 3:05specific level, you can already start
- 3:07drawing your trend line. Once price
- 3:09rejects the trend line, that's where you
- 3:11want to start. This right here is known
- 3:13as a break of structure. You take your
- 3:16Fibonacci retracement tool from the top
- 3:18of that move to the bottom of the move
- 3:21and you wait for price to get into the
- 3:23Fibonacci gold zone and you enter a
- 3:26short position. You can even split the
- 3:28difference and put a limit order. Your
- 3:30stop loss is at the one level and your
- 3:32take-profit is at the previous swing
- 3:34low. This will always give you above a
- 3:361:1 risk-to-reward and it'll usually end
- 3:39up being a 1:1.5.
- 3:41Ideally, you want to enter in on the 618
- 3:44because it's going to give you the best
- 3:45risk-to-reward ratio. The reason why my
- 3:48price target is so low is because I'm
- 3:50skeptical and I'm always assuming a
- 3:53double bottom will form. So, we'll get a
- 3:55bottom and a double bottom and price
- 3:57will reverse. This is my safe bet. And
- 4:00as you can see, this trade played out in
- 4:02seven minutes. And sometimes all you
- 4:04need is one good trade for the day and
- 4:06you're done. But if you want to keep
- 4:07scalping all day, you can continue on.
- 4:09As long as price is holding the trend,
- 4:12you keep trading it. You take your
- 4:13Fibonacci retracement tool from every
- 4:16single swing that broke structure. Look
- 4:19for retracements to the Fibonacci gold
- 4:21zone. Again, I really like entering on
- 4:23the 618, even with a limit order, and
- 4:25you're getting 1 to 1.5 risk-to-rewards.
- 4:28The trades close usually within 10 to 15
- 4:31minutes. And you're going to mark this
- 4:33up for every single break of structure,
- 4:36and you're going to try to take every
- 4:38single one of them. Sometimes momentum
- 4:40carries and it won't retrace to a fib
- 4:43level. That's fine. If price continues,
- 4:46you just mark the next break of
- 4:49structure. You get into your short
- 4:50positions at the 618 and you target the
- 4:53previous swing low. And you keep doing
- 4:56this until you get into a trade where
- 4:59the price retraces to the 618 and you
- 5:01get into a short position and you end up
- 5:04getting stopped out. In order to do this
- 5:06strategy, you will have losing trades.
- 5:09But that's a good thing because it is
- 5:11your signal to let you know that you
- 5:14should be looking for the opposite
- 5:15positions. Now, if you are going short
- 5:18in a downtrend, you are now looking for
- 5:20long positions. And that's okay because
- 5:22if you took all of these trades in this
- 5:24downtrend, you were up 6%, losing one,
- 5:27taking you down 1% with a total profit
- 5:29of 5%. Each one of these trades less
- 5:32than 10 minutes, some of them so rapid
- 5:34that they closed in 2 minutes. This is
- 5:36scalping at its finest, and it's
- 5:38something that I've been using for
- 5:39years. This is my goto Fibonacci
- 5:43retracement one minute scalping
- 5:44strategy. And just so that you guys can
- 5:46see, once you've gotten your stop-loss
- 5:48hit on that losing trade, you start
- 5:51going long. You start looking for those
- 5:52breaks of structures and retracements to
- 5:55the Fibonacci gold zone. You enter in
- 5:57your long positions and you start
- 5:59following the new uptrend. And if you
- 6:01guys are curious about my Fibonacci
- 6:03retracement tool and the settings, you
- 6:05have the start and the end as well as
- 6:08the Fibonacci gold zone and Fibonacci
- 6:11extensions if you want to trailing
- 6:13stop-loss your trades writing the
- 6:15momentum of the trade. Here are my
- 6:17settings. All you do is draw up your
- 6:19Fibonacci tool, hit the settings icon,
- 6:22and change it to what I have here on
