Best Scalping Timeframe - 1 min - 3 min - 5 min - 15min

A lot of you guys keep asking me what is the best time frame to scalp on now the definition of scalping is a short position in and out in a short period of time so obviously lower time frames are going to be better in this video I'm going to show you which ones i like and why [Music] welcome back to the channel everybody my name is Artie and this is the moving average a show where we discuss everything day trading to keep you profitable now if you guys remember my last video where.

I talked about the three line strike on a five minute time frame you could see how many subsequent winning trades we had in this one solid trend we got eight amazing trades which would have gotten you 16 profit in 14 hours now if you did not trade this Tokyo session which i recommend you don't because it's super low volume and the trades take forever but if you're an early bird like i am you can see that pretty much each one of these trades the first one took two hours the second one took an hour and a half third one got stopped out in 20 minutes two hours on this trade and 50 minutes on the next one in and out of the market quickly one to two hours if you want to get hyper aggressive with it you can drop down to the one minute time frame but on this time frame your stop losses are going to be approximately six pips i don't want you going lower than six pips if you want to drop down to the lower time frame it is substantially more risky.

 

I don't want you to have these ridiculous stop losses like two and three pips minimum i want you to have four pips and that's including your spread with a one to two risk to reward you're looking at eight pips this trade played out in 13 minutes you will inherently have more losses with this strategy because if you look on a one minute time frame you are not getting a good idea of what the actual market structure is you are simply scalping extremely short-term price action moves your win rate on this is substantially lower than it is on a five-minute time frame if you decide to go with the one minute you need to back test the exact time frame that you're trading every single day for at least 100 days not 100 trades 100 day's trading between that time frame so you could have 11 trades per day for a hundred days i want you to figure out what time works best for you because.

This one again is massively risky and if you are a beginner do not freaking do it a three minute time frame is going to give you a little bit more leeway and wiggle room when it comes to being able to spot the trend but still you want to keep a tight stop loss on this and again the win rate will be lower for those of you asking if you can scalp on a 15 minute time frame on 4x pairs i would not recommend it because 15 minute candles are so much bigger than one minute and five minute candles you want to increase your stop losses from the 10 pips that you would have on a five minute chart two above the swing high that it had so price dipped down swung up and down you want your stop loss at a comfortable distance above that for this it's 13 pips for this next move it is 15 pips to get a one to two risk to reward ratio you're looking at 30 pips on this move and 28 pips.

On this move this was an hour and 15 minute trade and this was a three and a half hour trade these trades take substantially more time than on a five minute time frame and at that point when you're having three to four six hour trades it's not scalping anymore if you want to scalp on a 15 minute chart and you have the capital to do so i would suggest indices but that is a whole nether topic it's not pips it's points you have to have far greater capital for it and if you're a beginner trader i would not touch indices or gold with a 10 foot pole i really hope that i was able to shed some light on these scalping time frames and which ones i prefer if you didn't notice five minute scalping is my favorite so if you guys enjoyed this video make sure you're dropping a like.

On these they help my self-esteem go straight to the moon and if you guys want to see a five-minute scalping strategy that's going to blow your brain hole it is right there subscribe if you have not already and we will see you in the next video.
