Update: Backtested January and February, excluding holidays. Trade session was made between 0630-0900 PST with a maximum of 2 losses per day. 1 ES contract per trade, set target profit is 2 points and stoploss is 1 tick above/below the signal bar. I didn't factor in the commissions since it varies by broker. The setups were also tweaked a little bit. It's easy to look for the setups in hindsight, therefore take this stats with a grain of salt and results will be different on live sessions. January 3-31 Total trades: 105 Total days: 20 Avg trade per day: 5.25 Profit factor: 3.41 W/R: 82% Winners: 86 Losers: 19 Avg win: $100 Avg loss: -$132.89 Gross profit: $8600 Gross loss: -$2525 Net Profit: $6075 February 3-25 (somehow my chart doesnt show Feb. 1st and 2nd) Total trades: 96 Total days: 16 Avg trade per day: 6 Profit factor: 6.36 W/R: 88% Winners: 85 Losers: 11 Avg win: $100 Avg loss: -$121.59 Gross profit: $8500 Gross loss: -$1337.5 Net Profit: $7162.5 January & February Total trades: 201 Total days: 36 Avg trade per day: 5.6 Profit factor: 4.43 W/R: 85% Winners: 171 Losers: 30 Avg win: $100 Avg loss: -$128.75 Gross profit: $17100 Gross loss: -$3862.5 Net Profit: $13237.5

[@quanttradeedge2514]

Amazing statistics. I like your idea of stopping after two losses. That way, if you are in a choppy low range market, you don't continue to take the paper cuts all day long.

[@richardgayton1337]

Sounds like you found a way to trade successfully with a smaller stop. Do you have a feel for the average stop loss you used? The cool thing about using ES instead of NQ, is the commission per contract is the same for both, but ES is $50 a point, NQ $20 so more bang for the commission buck.

[@UrAshWhole]

@@richardgayton1337 I haven't trade it yet on sim, so I'm not sure how the results will be. As I mentioned, I marked all the setups from the backtest. But obviously wouldnt do that on live knowing I will be very selected with the entries, specially if the signal bar has big risk, then I wouldn't take it.

[@richardgayton1337]

I am obsessed with Hoagies (great name). March 10, 2022 ES traded Hoagies all day. 10 EMA, 1 minute, 3 pt Stop. 5 pt Target for ATR 5, 4 T for ATR 4, and 3 T for ATR 3. I took every Hoagie trade even trying 3 times on a few Hoagies looking for breaks over one point. Not profitable. Also no profit in taking breaks against the 10 EMA angle. If its slanting down, only take shorts and vis versa. Taking only trend conforming breaks and only 1 attempt, I got 10 Winners 1 loser. 33 total winning points minus 3pts losing=30 pts x $50. In psychology we call this a one subject experiment with limited applicability, but a nice working hypothesis to test.

Pretty amazing stats. I wonder if February was just an amazing time and if we spread it out further across time it would be lower (Which can still be amazing). Why did you go with only 2pts for a profit target and what was your stop? Thanks for testing that out.

[@UrAshWhole]

@@quanttradeedge2514 I'll try to back test January and see if the results will be similar. Spent a lot of time which target is profitable, $150, $200, $250, $300 and $100 is the most profitable target and has the highest win rate. But I almost took every single set up. $200 came second with about 70%wr, but around $1500 less in net profit. Although, entries were only made with good signal bar. Results might be different with less filters. Stop loss depend on the signal bar size (between 2-4 points SL) and limit order entries after quarter(25%) retracement off the signal bar. Overall, it's a nice setup. ES on 2000 ticks chart is easy to read. Thanks for sharing.

[@matthewrenner3335]

How do you decide how much to let it run? When to take profit? Trail a stop? That is a key part to making this strategy work.

[@quanttradeedge2514]

You set a fixed target based on ATR. You trail stops behind the previous bar. If you are letting some thing run, it is because you have a higher timeframe view and were using this scalp method as the entry for it.

[@johnuniverse2902]

Big volumes follow through which usually is associated with breaking a good level, you may increase your profit target to the next level you see on the 15+ minutes chart.

[@richardgayton1337]

Nice set up. I back tested ES 1 minute yesterday with ATR around 4. So went for 4 T 8 Stop. 10EMA. Very successful but ES is squirrely with sudden 8 pt changes of price which wrecks trend so sometimes difficult to anticipate. I will paper trade it tomorrow. Thanks for teaching us about these setups. Please keep it coming.

[@quanttradeedge2514]

ES typically has a lower ATR than NQ. Recently it has had nice big ranges. The key is just to test this over a long enough period of time. And if these statistics work out well over 67% - Then you just have to mechanically take each one and know that you'll come out ahead over time.

Paper traded this on Ninjatader with this set up on ES Feb 23 (I don't trade NQ yet), but it took a while to spot the set up in real time and I flubbed my first entries. So I backtested this evening from 6:30 am PST to 4:30 pm PST on one minute chart, 4pt T 8 pt stop. 14 Winners at 4pts each, 2 losers 8pts of stop each. Total potential trading just T and S: 40 pts at $50 a point. If you were able to expertly manage the trade, the profit was double that. Of course real trading, paper trading and backtesting are all different things and with each increase in reality, results degrade. Still wonderful set up. Many thanks.

[@quanttradeedge2514]

Glad you are enjoying the content. Identifying the pattern in real time will get easier with experience. You could also consider using a higher time frame, like 2m or 5m. Your ATR would go up, but it does give you a little more time to react and set up your orders.

[@TheOptionsGod]

Hi QTE, thank you for taking the time to create this video, however there are a few things that are still unclear to me. I will use your short scalp setup as an example (timestamp 0:09). Firstly, I assume that the "setup bar" is the first candle (green) in your short scalp structure, is this correct? If this is true, I will label the setup bar as "C1", the red candle as "C2" and the blue candle as "C3". I identify a "C1" on my chart and look to confirm a higher high and higher low on a consecutive "C2". "C2" has a higher high and higher low with respect to "C1", so I analyze a consecutive "C3". *Question 1:* Do I analyze "C3" with respect to "C2" or "C1"? In your first example, if I analyze "C3" with respect to "C1", "C3" would necessarily need to be a red (down) candle in order to satisfy the Close(C3) < Open(C1) criteria. However, I realize that "C3" need not always be a red (down candle) with respect to "C1", as it is possible for a green (up candle) "C3" to have a closing price below "C1"'s opening price, it would just be positioned lower on the chart, below "C1"s opening price. Again, in your first example, If I analyze "C3" with respect to "C2" (instead of "C1"), "C3" could be either a red (down candle) or green (up candle), so long as its closing price is below the opening price of "C2" in order to satisfy the Close(C3) < Open(C2) criteria. Do I understand this correctly? I suspect the reason why you used the color blue for your "C3" candle was to illustrate the flexibility of the type of candle (green or red) that "C3" could be, but in your first example, "C3" would _necessarily_ have to be a red candle _if I were to analyze it with respect to "C1"_ and this is where I need the clarification. *Question 2:* Once the criteria is met for a long or short, I assume the ideal entry point to be the opening price of the _fourth_ consecutive candle, is this correct? *Question 3:* When you switch to the 1 minute chart (time stamp 1:34), you display several arrow signals that indicate long entries above the 10 EMA. Which candlestick do these arrow signals point to? Do they point to any of the long scalp structure candles ("C1", "C2", "C3")? Or do they point to the _recommended_ entry point candle ("C4")? Thank you.

[@quanttradeedge2514]

The setup bar is C2 as you've described it. Use a buystop above the setup candle (for long scalp) to enter. The arrows point to the setup bar.

[@ce8539]

Being able to do this manually is the problem, its very hard to get into these trades manually. I tried this today (4/12/24) from open to 11am, got 3 winners, all were 6 pointers cause ATR was near or at 12 at the time of the trades. I set up OCO orders for 2pt profit target all the way to 12 pt profit target and simply swapped to the relevant one with each attempt. I have a question as to when is the trade considered invalidated; say we get a short setup below EMA, we enter 1 tick below the low of the signal bar, but price does not move through it and instead reverses, going past the high of that candle. is that considered a failed signal bar and we discontinue the order? thanks for your time Also, i understand the stop..but saying each of these moves had 30+ points in them is confusing because isnt the profit target much lower? so you would move the stop up each minute, but does that mean youre also moving the profit target instead of waiting for it to get to 1/2 ATR?

[@toddab7]

Hi QTE, I'm practicing this scalping strat and love it! Do you look at trends and ranges to determine skipping entries? This morning (9/5/2023) the MNQ was in a range for a while after open.

Thanks for your strategy I’ve got a feeling this will make me profitable eventually!! quick question if you’ve seen a setup and your waiting for it to break the high so you can enter, if it doesn’t trigger on the next candle but it does on the follow candle would you still take the trade or do you cancel the order If it doesn’t trigger on the next candle

[@quanttradeedge2514]

If it's an inside candle, then you can take it on the next candle. Look over a lot of charts and gather statistics for yourself as to winning percentages when there's an inside bar versus not. The key to any strategy is doing the work to build the confidence in it so that you can stick through it during the lean times.

[@homegeek3650]

great vid, question though... in your first diagram (for long example) you make it seem like the 3rd candle BODY needs to close above the previous candle high, but then in several of the long examples on the chart, the middle candle had a long upper wick so the next entry candle the body closed above the previous body but not completely above the previous wick high. Does the body need to close above the wick to be considered a proper trigger? or is it enough for the second green candle to just close slightly above the previous green candle close? And do you wait for the second green candle to close first or just as soon as it crosses up?

Hi I'm not sure if you are monitoring this thread anymore, but if you are, this is Richard and I have been studying your Hoagies and Scallops and trading them for several months but have not understand how you move your stops. From watching your scalloping videos I see you are setting the initial stop with order entry depending on the size of the signal bar or is it just based on the ATR at that moment? e.g. ATR 15 you set stop at 15? If the signal triggers and goes in your direction, when do you move the stop. Do you wait for another entire minute to elapse and lets say you are in up trend, move it to the top of the signal bar or wait for the next bar to close and place it at the top of that bar? Many thanks for your ideas and videos. Is there another platform you can be followed on?

[@quanttradeedge2514]

I would typically wait for each minutes bar to complete and then move the stop behind the previous bar. Sometimes other bar count criteria come into play. For example if it's only the first violation, I may stay with it but once we know that a 2e has formed, you want to be quick to exit on a violation of the previous bar.

A hoagie happens when you have one relatively large bar, and then more than one more bar stays inside the range of that original large bar. It is like an extended version of an inside bar. As it pertains to gann bar counting, I do not count the wiggles that happen inside of a hoagie.

Shorts and longs, 5 for 5 if you were using a .5 ATR Stop Loss / Take Profit on each of the "setup" candles I'll call them. .5 ATR was sitting between 6.5-7 pts on all trades. Each trade took under 5 minutes, some taking 30 seconds. Looks like it's time to throw some cash into my account again and start trading MNQ

[@quanttradeedge2514]

Glad you like it. I've been busy with other things and not trading this strategy, but I see no reason that it would stop working. It is rooted in price action principals.

Is the trigger bar valid if both the close and open are on the wrong side of the EMA but it has wicked through? thx

Good example. Technically yes, bc the trigger point would be above.

Thank you for the reply @@quanttradeedge2514

[@brennankunkel4465]

One last thing, you stated that your profit goal was 10pts and you were setting a 20pt stop. I'm wondering why you risk 2x your profit potential at the beginning of the trade before you start moving it up. Is it because you feel so confident in the setup candle? I understand you are setting it based on the ATR @@quanttradeedge2514​

[@quanttradeedge2514]

Assume you completely randomly took a trade. If you had a 20 point stop and a 10 point target, over a large number of trades, you would have a 2/3 win rate. And a net zero expectation. We expect that the set up has value, in that your hit rate will be higher than 2/3. With scalping, do you want a high win rate. To get that, you give up some of the risk reward ratio. This is the opposite of the 4x trade, where you only need a win rate of 20% to break even. If you take good set ups, you may end up with a 50% win rate, which is amazing for a 4:1 risk reward trade. You can start trailing one minute bars on this strategy. It may eat into your win rate a little bit, but it will help your overall risk reward ratio.

[@Glizzardacus]

​@@quanttradeedge2514 I like this comment, because here is another thing to think about with this strategy, Sizing up = run 2 contracts instead of 1, grab the ATR take profit (~10) on contract 1, then use contract 2 as a runner for extra profits. (move contract 2's stop loss up into profit 1 tick in order to cover commissions, once contract 1 has hit the profit target) Would be a good way to take advantage of these quick moves, and banking your profits early on one contract, while getting most of the move on the other, best of both worlds in a way

I might be missing something but it looks like there are several setups without arrows? I cant seem to figure out why? IE 5 bars after your 1st entry?

[@quanttradeedge2514]

The bar is an outside bar. The long setup bar needs to have a lower high and lower low, but have close>open (green candle body).

[@toddab7]

​@@quanttradeedge2514 Hi QTE...this answers my prior question but didn't think of the right term.....why do you recommend not taking outside bars as signal bars?

[@quanttradeedge2514]

Outside bars use up a lot of juice. You typically get a nice thrust off of a narrow bar. Think about on the daily chart after you have a trend day - you tend to oscillate around for a while to digest the move.

[@richardgayton1337]

Trading scallops last week ES 3T 3S I entered a couple of trades at the the signal bar with stop market orders. Both times I got 1-2 full pts slippage making trades losers. (Optimus Rithmic) On these scalp trades are stop limits or stop markets better? Is either one significantly safer if we get a sudden market move?

[@quanttradeedge2514]

I typically only use stop market. If you are getting significant slippage in ES, that is a sign of a disorderly market and perhaps a time to sit out. Our assumptions of risk are based on our stop - If the market is so disorderly that they stop on some thing as liquid as ES is significant- it's time to take your marbles and wait to play another day. Jmho. Remember, we have the advantage of not having to engage every day. It's better to engage only when your risk is measurable and the odds are squarely in your favor.

are there any other indicators that I can use to confirm my entry when scalping with this stratagy? I want to feel extra confident before entering the play

[@quanttradeedge2514]

Especially on a 1 min, you need to be quick. Too many indicators can bog you down - unless you program them in. I would imagine a buy set up bar closing close to its high would make it better - having a certain proportion of body in the candle (vs. a doji). I haven't tested those, bit those are a couple ideas for you to explore and test.

[@natenaterose5545]

with this strategy, if im understanding it correctly, your stop loss will often be bigger than your tp no? seems like a really bad risk to reward to have 20 points stop for a 10 point TP? or is it fine because your trailing your stop? some clarification would be great for me thanks for the video

[@quanttradeedge2514]

in scalping you trade off r/r for s high win %. you understood the r/r correctly. Trailing does help reduce the amount of time your stop stays large.

Hello, also how should I manage the stop? In the system with hoogies, should I apply a negative ratio... for example, a 2 to 1? Or can I apply a 1 to 1? On the other hand, should the stop necessarily be one tick below the hoogie or above it, depending on whether the entry is long or short? Or where should I place the stop? Finally, can I apply the hoggie on smaller charts of 200-300 ticks and have more trading volume? What is your opinion about it? Thank you very much for all your help. Yesterday applying the hoogie method I made 2.100 dollars in the nasdaq with only one contract in funded account.

For hoagies, you can apply a 1:1. Since the entire pattern is in one time frame, 1:1 is appropriate. When you do trades that combine a higher and lower time frame, you can go for bigger upside like 4:1, etc. depending.
