My Incredibly Easy 1 Minute Scalping Strategy (Full Course)

I trade less than 90 minutes a day but I'm consistently able to find profitable trades that can make thousands of dollars trading does not need to be something you spend all day glued to your computer over to end up making good money with this scalping strategy I'm going to show you you can consistently and profitably trade for a short amount of time every day and I want to start off with some of the biggest mistakes that I see people do when they try to start scalping and then I can show you my strategy that I

use every day now the first thing you need to know about scalping is first off you are going for short moves in the market you're not going for massive you know multi-day trends that the market is doing a lot of time what you're doing is you are on something like a 1 minute chart or a 5 minute chart and you're looking for quick moves to profit from where you see a pattern and you can capture you know entering on a trade capture kind of a move up and get out you're not looking for the whole

move and the biggest thing that I find that people run into and I actually had an issue with when I first started doing is you're trying to capture every move in the market when you're doing something like scalping when you are able to jump in very quickly and get out very quickly on a move that doesn't necessarily mean that you need to be chasing every move and thinking okay well I can quickly capture this move down and then I can quickly capture this move up and then capture this move down and then capture this move

up you're just going to end up overtrading and not be profitable in the long run just because you're scalping doesn't mean you're going to be taking a lot of Trades it just means that you're going for small amounts and just like any strategy the way to be profitable is to do something with a high probability of success that you don't do very often or you only enter in on a trade when the pattern shows up and so for an example what I mean is let's say for some reason you have a pattern and a strategy

that that you want to jump in on a buy and bet the Market's going to go up here well that can be something that you wait a day or two for but every time it shows up you can consistently make money and so that's why for me that's kind of how I do is I look for a certain pattern and I only take it when it shows up and so you know in that first 60 to 90 minutes in a day if that pattern shows up I will jump in on a trade and make money

if it goes to my favor and this takes away all the overtrading that you have the potential to do and really because what makes you consistent and a profitable Trader is what I found out over time is just having one strategy that you can consistently stick to every time and you just wait for that to show up and as well another big mistake is thinking that scalping technically means okay I'm going to jump in here if we just zoom in real quick that oh I'm going to jump in here and then I'm going to get

out here on a micro move that is a form of scalping but what I found is actually don't don't that find that to be very profitable what I find to be more profitable is jumping in and going for a larger move to where you're going for you know let's say you risk you put your stop loss down here which would be where you jump out of the trade if it goes against you and You' be risking about $100 if it did that but instead of going for you know a profit of $100 on the flip

side or maybe even $50 which is not something good to do that's a negative risk reward I've done that in the past and it's not very profitable instead go for something like this where you're making maybe $400 if it goes in your favor and for me what I've realized what this does is it allows you to not have to be right very often taking some of that pressure off of every single trade to work out because trading can be very stressful and if you have that to where the risk reward is very favorable just to

show you a table of risk reward this is what I mean where your win rate does not have to be very high if your risk reward is 1 to 3 1 to 4 where you're risking you know 100 to make 300 400 you only need a 30 or 40% win rate to be profitable and so this is something that is very very crucial when it comes to trading versus the worst you get in in risk reward the higher your win rate needs to be and I found that shifting more towards going for that larger swings

and that better risk reward is just more favorable because it just aligns very well with going for very few trades but pinpointing and knowing exactly what is going on in the market it allows you to essentially cherry-pick in what is going on and see okay I know exactly what's going on I'm going to jump in and I'm make a good profit now when it comes to scalping and reading the trends and what's going on there's a few crucial things that's important to know so how I trade I've realized over time that it's way better to

just read the price movement and just a couple honestly seeming super basic things you're able to make a sball strategy I think a lot of people come into trading thinking that it needs to be very complicated you need to have a ton of different indicators and know all this you need to be really smart to be good at trading and that's actually not the case the patterns and what you're going to use it does take some time to learn but it's very simple in the end the hard part about trading is like what we're was

talking about is consistently you know executing your strategy when it shows up and be able to take profit on those moves and then avoiding the overtrading in between before your strategy and pattern actually shows up and of course if you don't have one I will show you what I use in a minute that I have found works really well and for other students that have tried it out but first there's a few basic things about reading a trend that are really important to know when scalping and so for me all I do is a super

basic idea of okay I'm going to take a trade when the market comes into a resistance or a support level now if you're a little Rusty on what resistance and support is I have a whole video I just actually came out with I will link that above up here in the cards the rough idea you know is all we're looking for is okay where has the market previously bounced off of and when it comes back to one of those areas I'm going to look for to essentially bet that the market is going to go off

of it and capture potential trade I found that this is just the best way to kind of approach the market in a very consistent and profitable way and it really helps you just be patient when waiting patience is probably the number one thing to actually be profitable when it comes to trading and what waiting for a good support and resistance level does is it allows you to just avoid all this noise in the middle and you can just say hey it's not at one of my areas that I you know my plan says to wait

for and so I can just wait out easily you know you don't have to be worried and thinking that again oh I want to cap all these moves in the middle because again in the long run those just cause you to overtrade and in my experience they are never profitable to do now between these levels another big thing is we need to understand how Trends move and so the basic idea is you know a downtrend has lower lows and lower highs essentially it has a stair step pattern and then on the flip side when it

switches it changes from the highs start to get higher and the lows start to get higher as well and so this is what I would call an inflection point in the market when it starts to shift like this and then it starts to you know generally if it shifts it'll go into an uptrend making higher highs and higher lows Trends in the market always will look slightly different but they generally follow this rough pattern is the market likes to move in methodical ways it will sometimes just move very fast in One Direction try not to

think about those moves those are really just not tradable moves in the market what you want to focus on is when you can consistently understand what is going on and pay attention to these inflection points because those are when you can tell when the market is going to reverse and often what you can use to help identify these is actually what's called a trend line right it's very similar to support and resistance but it's just matching instead of horizontal moves the highs and lows you're matching the diagonal moves that the market is having so each

one of these Peaks you are drawing a line connecting them and you're saying that well okay this is kind of showing me the rough direction of the downtrend and every time it comes to this line it will push the market lower and keep going lower and this works on the flip side going up as well in a methodical uptrend of course not every trend has one of these but you can find ones that do and you can match them and it will have this where okay well every time it comes to this line it's going

to bounce and then when you see the price breaks it that is a super easy clear signal that hey this trend is broken this TR downtrend that it was currently in is over and it's going to shift in some way and that's what I call an inflection point in the market and so this will allow you to start to pick up on say hey this is going to potentially shift we're at an inflection point you know you don't know that it's going to necessarily just cuz it breaks a a downtrend line like this doesn't mean

it's going to immediately just reverse and just go straight up you know the market will do every sort of thing after that there are infinite possibilities in the market but that's what having a whole rough plan of what you want to look out for will help you sift through all these different things happening and so this is how you start to kind of build a rough idea of a strategy is you start to combine these multiple things is first you have where the market is you know you have clear swings and then you once you

start to kind of zoom in and and not think is just the big picture is okay well the market has a downtrend into this support level and then okay well if it's broken that I'm going to think well there's two things saying that the market might bounce here well you have one that it's at a support level that is more likely to push the market back up and then as well it's breaking a downtrend at the same time and that's more likely for the market to reverse as well and so that's how a strategy is

built is you have multiple things align and when they all align that's when you get into a trade the whole idea is you are trying to use something that consistently says okay well if all these things align up just to throw a random number out there let's say that gives me an 80% chance that the Market's going to reverse here and so if I have a 80% chance for the market to reverse here well that's a really good reason to jump in on a trade whenever you see that set of signal show up and to

quickly show you what this looks like in action before we go too further is here is a trade that I'm jumping in right now it's a recording of a trade I took and I'm betting that the Market's going to go down here and so I purchased at this price at this yellow line and then my stop loss of where I'll get out for a loss if the trade go against me is this red line here and then I'm essentially betting that the Market's going to go lower and the whole idea is what I'm doing is

I'm combining just a couple of those basic factors now there are some new nuances and reading into the market that we'll discuss in a minute but I want to kind of show you the power of just kind of simple reading the price movement of the market you do not need a ton of indicators to see what's going on and so the patterns that I looked for here was well there was you know you can see I have a trend line drawn right here where this Market moved up nicely started to slow down here and then

had a big kind of bearish move here where it went down and it actually broke this uptrend Trend right here and so again to me that's hey that's the signal of I see that the market is starting to shift it's breaking that uptrend that I'm looking at and then as well is this is actually a large downtrend line of a bigger downtrend just to zoom out to a big picture charted just to show you what that looks like is right here is where I'm looking to get in on that trade but you can see over

the last few days this Market has spiked up and so I have drawn a downtrend line here off of these two swings and I'm saying hey I think that well if the market comes up here again I'm going to look for it to sell off from there so instead of having that bigger picture resistance level that I'm going off of i instead have that bigger picture trend line that I'm going off now I don't do that as often but when it shows up it is important to watch out for and so from there it's just

betting that the Market's going to go down and going with the swings and then also managing the trade as it goes in my favor that's the big thing about scalping here is I'm not necessarily it's still scalping because I am going on such a small time frame I'm watching the markets at about 6:30 my time on the Pacific coast and so you can see here I it's you know 7 it's it's about an hour and I'm in this trade and so it doesn't take long to watch and find these in the morning for me when

I trade and then when I'm in the trade I'm in for 20 30 minutes on average maybe even shorter sometimes but I'm able to capture these moves and instead of having to you know go for those small moves and small scalps that are I think really really stressful I'm able to go for these inflection points in the market where I think that hey the Market's gone up I see it slowing down I think that there's a potential chance that it gives that move back up and then I bet the Market's going to go down and

then of course while I'm managing too is we'll get to this a little bit later is that I see there's a support level here and so I'm thinking that okay well I think the market might bounce here I'm going to tighten up my trailing stop and look to get out because the idea is well completely on the same side if the market comes down here and starts to slow down I think that it might you know reverse and so I want to get out of my trade at a really really nice profit and so this

trade I was risking I think about $800 on the one trade and so I'm up about 5x right now and so that's a really really nice swing and again it's on a 1 minute chart and so maybe this would be swing trading if you're trading on you know a 4H hour time frame or 1 hour time frame where you're holding over multiple days but because this is you can capture these kind of moves just in half hour if you're looking at the right places and waiting for the right time that's what's so important and so

right there it closed up over $3,000 on that trade and then I you know closed up and moved on with my day now I want to show you another trade and I want to show you how I get into these spots and talk a little bit more about about this strategy and kind of go through the actual five-step checklist that I look for that really helps me spot these every single time because that's the hard part is consistently finding the same pattern every time that you can profit from but when you can do that that's

what you just have to learn to stick to and stay with because as you can see over these videos is it can consistently be profitable if you're in the right spot and so the first thing always is looking for those support resistance levels and so right here this Market has come down into this support level and so that's kind of step one that I'm looking for and that's off of a 15minute chart we're actually looking at a one minute chart right now but I like to draw my levels off a larger time frame because I

find that that helps me look at the bigger picture and not look at you know that noise that we were talking about and again I I have a video I'll link that goes more in depth into those levels that will help you kind of figure out how to draw the correct levels cuz that is really important but then you know step two kind of like we talked about before is that down Trend or that uptrend just essentially that current Trend into the level we need to see it break because a a support level can totally

fail any time right the key is this trend could just keep going lower and just smash through this support level and so the idea is you don't know when it's going to switch and so you need to be patient and wait to see those signals that it's going to switch and the first Super clear signal is that okay well drawing off of this trend line here it's clearly broken right here and just to talk about how I draw the trend lines is I usually just say okay what's the most recent kind of Swing obvious swing

high in trading you don't have to be super specific about things just do what kind of best fits and what makes sense and so for here I'm going to start off of this high right here and then just say okay the trend looks like it's just continuously pushing down right here you know there's some pullbacks here some small pullbacks where the there's some Wicks going on but if you just kind of look at it it's just consistently kind of going lower there's not really any pullbacks and then by the time it goes here you know

it starts to go sideways here it's starting to change at that point and that's the key that we want to see and be keyed into is when is the movement of the market changing and then what I like to see generally is some kind of reversal pattern and a lot of times that can be something like a double bottom where the market just bounces here and then kind of bounces again and then shifts higher I think that's a good signal of a double bottom because I like to just give the market time to show that

you know it's maybe made a pullback here and it's attempted to keep going lower because going back to you know looking at those lower lows and lower highs just the basics of a downtrend we want to see you know this point when okay well it's starting to either make a higher high or it's starting to make a higher low here and and so that's really important when we look at the market and when we want to jump in on a trade and so right here you can see I actually put in an order right here

above this previous High because I'm thinking that hey this is a it it made a high here it made a high here it's made essentially these are higher lows and if it breaks above this it's very clearly making a even higher high and so going based on that kind of movement I'm looking to get in essentially right here on the uptrend and thinking okay it's going to kind of break out of this sideways chop and consolidation and then it's going to push higher that's so I usually jump in on what I call a stop market

order and so all that is is if I just zoom back real quick is it essentially says once the price hits here the system puts in a buy Market order it just gets me in because the idea is I want to get in when the signal happens I don't want to you know try and get in on a limit order or try and get a best price I want to get in when the signal happens because generally if you try and you know oh get in here cuz it's a slightly better price there's going to

be times where this just explodes and you miss out and you're going to feel like a complete idiot trying to you know save $10 on getting a slightly better price instead what I found out over time is just get in when you see the signal and that's just the best way to do it otherwise there's so many little random things of and what ifs you're trying to think about that it's just not worth it and then for me I like to put my stop losses below key swing lows and so I felt like I was

I was putting it below this low right here instead of this low right here just because this was kind of more of where the actual low of the market bottomed if you look at kind of the bodies here of the candlesticks it's below those lows pretty well so if the market comes all the way down here my logic with a stop loss is I want to get out when it looks like the structure that I'm looking for is broken and the structure I'm looking for is that it's going to hold this area here and go

up and so instead if it kind of comes here and breaks higher and then keep you know sits here and goes lower you just want to get out you got to cut your losses again think of the risk reward sheet you want to keep your losses and your wins at certain levels and if you allow yourself a big mistake I see people do is they will move their stop loss farther away because they want to give trade time for the trade to work out but you got to remember that you don't know what the Market's

going to do what I find is the best trades like this one actually happen quickly and they go in your favor quickly and the ones that just kind of struggle and don't work out and go against you those are the ones that you want to just cut your losses quickly don't get married to a specific trade again it's about over the long term what works out and the best way to do that is kind of the classic saying of let your winners run and cut your losses those sayings are there for a reason and if

I don't know if you noticed that I actually moved my stop loss up to break even after a while and so this is something I like to do once it starts to go in my favor and so you have to give a trade time to work out and it's hard because you know here I'm risking about I think about $800 again on this trade and you can see that I'm up $500 $600 it goes down for a little bit here and that's hard to watch when you're trading and getting better at just dealing with the

fluctuations of money which will get better at over time but you can see here once it kind of jumps up here to $1,000 and it has essentially this pullback you know thinking about that uptrend right where the market moves up pulls back keeps moving up and I want to move up kind of with these swings and it just happened that the low of this pullback aligned up with break even and so I moved my stop loss up at that point because again I think you do want to take risk off the table as things go

in your favor and so as this kind of goes in my favor and kind of starts to really get going I'm looking at okay well there's this uptrend here you know we're kind of near the highs right here you can see I have this downtrend line here drawn as well so I'm thinking that we might start to slow down here but I do like to keep my mind open to the fact that hey maybe this trend is just really strong and it keeps going higher and so I've actually broken my stop loss here into two

parts that I am looking to move up here slowly and so you can see right there I actually decide to move essentially and take off half of my trade if this decides to pull back just with the idea that hey I want to give it some wiggle room as it keeps going but you also need to Trail up and get out of your trades once they go in your favor this much there is no point in letting you know the market pull back so much because you have an idea that it's just going to keep

going forever it's the same thing with like we talked about all the stop loss you don't want to get married to the idea that hey this will go in your favor really far and it can be really easy to think about that when you see how big the money can get when it's a big amount for whatever trading size you're at it can you can start to get that greed come in of say wow if this keeps going you know for me I'd be up wow be could be up 4,000 5,000 what if it goes

up to like 7,000 you know you start to have that greed come into your mind and instead that's why you need to have kind of a plan that you're saying that I am sticking to every time because it takes some of that decision and unknown out of the out of the trade when it's happening and so because it sucks kind of getting out of a trade like that when it looks like it could keep going but you know what from what I've seen a lot of times is your signals are usually correct and don't let

your emotions control what you're doing so this has just been an intro in the scalping and my strategy and I think the next best thing if you want to look at the strategy more is check out my video on support and resistance levels those are the key to to finding these inflection points and areas to take these profitable trades from
