Scalping: An effective and highly profitable trading strategy

[@Vikturneer]

I put in 10k into trading and flipped into six figures within a year and months and still going. I’ve always been an advocate of trading because it has been rather rewarding. I hope to attain financial freedom soon. One more thing, keep up the good work brother.

Becoming a good trader takes time and patience. When i first got into trading i was liquidated twice, and lost my entire mortgage deposit. I could have given up, but decided to learn how to trade and put it into practice. 4 years later and i am glad i made that decision.

My portfolio has good companies, however it has been stalling since last year. I have approximately $200k stagnant in my reserve that needs growth.

[@Carolj-p9j]

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day invt decisions being guided by a invt-coach, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using a invt-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over 1.5million

I am a developing trader at an FX institutional firm in London in and I introduced scalping to them. They thought that scalping is a mug game. However, I showed them that scalping is an amazing tool in your arsenal. You can make more money scalping than swing or longer term timeframe. The head trader has seen the benefit of scalping and has included it in his trading plan. I have been a scalper for 3 years. Thank you Mike and SMB Capital for making me better at scalping.

[@johntu7484]

it’s fantastic that you were able to open your team’s mind to an approach they once viewed as a “mug’s game.” Scalping isn’t for everyone; it requires discipline and the right psychology. But your three years of success underscore that if you develop the right skill set, scalping can be both profitable and synergistic with more traditional institutional trading styles. Congratulations on your progress, and thanks for the shout-out to Mike and SMB Capital-your story shows that mastering a short-term style can pay dividends both personally and for your entire desk!

[@esaidecasas6500]

i realized most of the time i was always right in the begining of my trades, then half would go into the red and stop me out, i decided to just scalp trades in and out and have been profitable for years ever since.

[@Stockoperator274]

Great topic!!! I scalp only first 15 minutes at the open. I use ORB/D (1m, 5m or break of the entire range) Signals: technical level break( premarket H, L, YL, YH, YC), candles like (doji, hammer, engulfings..), above or below VWAP and averages, premarket direction often gives me a direction at the open, volume gotta be elevated for me especially to enter inside the first minute. My main signals are coming form LEVEL2 ( big orders sitting on a ask or bid can indicate potential break, T&S accelerating, most transaction going on a ask or bid, look if orders going above or below bid/ask, big prints, notice if price steps down/up and taken quickly, volume profile-notice if more volume done at specific price can indicate a big move, refreshing ECN, hidden buyers/sellers can indicate a move). BUT, before that stock has to have a fresh catalyst, high RVOL +2, just be in play, and clear levels from daily, weekly, and premarket to play against. Additional factors i have to know: float, short float, inst. ownership, ATR. One question i always ask my self is, HOW MARKET PARTICIPANTS VIEW THIS CATALYST AND POSITIONED? Trading is easy if we have a system and stick to it. Take care guys!!!!

[@smbcapital]

Thanks for the input! great stuff

[@valicourt]

Stock Hi Stock operator. May I ask what time of day do you trade? I found volume seems to completely disappear after 45 minutes or so ( of ny open ) Also, do you go in full position and take profits at certain key levels? Or do you go in with part position and add? And if I may ask. I understand about the float but do you look at price as well? All the best

[@Stockoperator274]

valicourt hey, market open. Sometimes it go a full size, sometimes 1/2 depends on a risk and type of the play. The price of a stock does not matter. Focus on percentage returns and stocks ATR.

[@JenMarco]

My small account grew 211% in 5 months by scalping options as a new trader. Jan 26th to May 11th I went from $1k to $3150. I lost half of my gains when I tried sizing up and staying in trades longer because I kept seeing that I could have made more if I stayed in longer but it didn’t work for me so I’m going back to the strategy of scalping because it worked for me.

[@renebleu8711]

Me too.. I don’t trade stocks but indices cfds like Nasdaq and dow Jones.. I made a lot scalping but once I tried to day trade, I made some money but eventually started losing. Psychologically, I like to take my money and be out.

[@zadokmotorfreight2423]

Do you have a set profit goal per trade? For instance, $200 per trade and out or what?

[@asamcclellan2721]

I’ve always been a number cruncher and could do math faster in my head than anyone in my graduating class. I never knew when this skill would pay off. I found scalping very intuitive this past week and made my first $3k off of momentum and channel trades in futures. The peace I experience now is unreal, but I can’t believe it took me 30 years to find this.

[@erichpryde5309]

Thanks to both SMB Capital and Ryan for this video. When I first started trading I mostly scalped using a 1m chart and it typically worked for me. A lot of times the next price level where a security will change direction just seems logical to me. Lately I've been trying to swing trade, and I'm struggling with that. I've heard Bella say on a number of occasions that as traders we should play to our strengths. I've definitely discovered that this is true, and while I still intend to work on my swing trading, I am going to keep the primary focus on the scalps because it's become apparent that's where my edge is. As always, thanks for the video.

[@Cisco910]

Finally a video describing the art of scalping which is the style of trading I developed into. I scalp on the 3m time frame and for me price has to be above two key levels the premarket high and the stocks initial high if above prior days high its a bonus and I wait for a pull back no more then two lower lows or a red bar ignore I then put out a buy limit order 2 cents above the high pivot point this has been the only profitable method i have achieved throughout my young career I can't pick bottoms, I can't trend counter trend, I can't do days lows, or any kind of reversal plays my trading style is solely based on momentum within the first hour of trading. Thanks Mike great content as always.

Thanks Mike for that great intro too. I scalp a lot and sometimes get criticism for being small or 'never going to get into the big plays". Its feels good to know there is a lot of guys out there hitting some big numbers. For me, I have found scalping to keep me almost always green while I work on other bigger plays and getting better day by day with lots of screen time. I think I have finally found my style and will soon be able to check off the 'consistency box' and then began to get bigger. Thanks SMB!!

Scalping is by far the best way to trade, but you will need to put the work in to build out your own strategy. I have spent the best part of 2 years building mine. Swing trading to me is a nightmare. Too much time to play out and going negative for any period of time I find extremely stressful. Thanks for posting this.

[@hansk_trader]

Thank you for a grear video. I have always had the strong perception that, Scalping should be done only at The Open. However, now I see, it can be done at any time of Day - as long as there is strong momentum up/down.

[@alohaannie5076]

You can scalp throughout the day. Sometimes you can pick up some quick trades towards the close if the volatility picks up.

something that helped me learn level two reading is watching the times and sales pass by also. set up three or four time and sales charts one for smaller buyers one for medium size buyers and one for the big buyers. this is a technique that has helped me see the difference between the real moves and directions in stocks and know whether or not its a consolidation type pullback before the real power starts to move a stock further in that big buyer direction.

I never trade stocks that I am not familiar with ( never trade stocks that you see popping on a momentum scanner ) and i never get long , always short .. Every trader is different I believe , you must find what works for you , and the way to do that is to eliminate all the reasons that caused you to lose money in the past and establish some golden rules for yourself that you would never break .. Once you develop enough patience to wait for the right set-ups and develop enough discipline to execute your strategy and follow your rules , it will be impossible for you not to make money .. 👍👍

I freaking LOVE to scalp! I am currently in your DNA program and have made some scalping style trades the past couple of weeks. I use the 1 or 5 minute time frames and scalp breakouts above or below key technical levels.....ascending & descending triangles, bull & bear flags, rising & falling wedges, major support & resistance levels, ascending & descending trendlines, etc. Scalping is the technique that makes the most sense to me personally. This video was fantastic! I have only been trading the morning and sometimes the mid day sessions because I work a 3rd security job, so I am only getting about 3-5 hours of sleep per day right now. I believe I could make a good living using this technique if I had real capital to trade with instead of using a simulator. Trading is what I love, so somehow I must find a way to do it full time. Thanks for everything I have learned from SMB up to this point!

[@Cisco910]

Hey Matt nice post I too love scalping and your right it makes the most sense I use the 3m not too fast, not too slow so am right in between your two time frames lol. Here's the key for making a living from scalping we have to build our trading accounts by all means. I did a review off my trades if I was trading a $20,000 account and split that taking 10k positions so I can trade once a day for the week i would be averaging $175 that's $3,500 a month give or take. So we're on the right track its just going to take longer scalping a small account into a larger one which is why my tax refund will be directly deposited into my trading account lol. Good Luck brah wish you the best.

[@andreclark2472]

Gregory Jules no day trade pattern rules with futures

[@andreclark2472]

@Gorden Gecko In the futures market day trade margin is used. Margin has a different meaning in the futures market. Margin is the money that's required to be in your account to take a trade. Day trade margin in futures is the amount of money that must be in your account to place a trade. The futures market open from 6pm Sunday eastern US time zone and closes 5pm Friday eastern US time zone. Although the market is open for a long time most of the volume is traded from 930 am - 4pm eastern, but you can still catch good fundamental moves outside of these times. On Monday to Friday from 4:15pm - 4:30pm and from 5pm-6pm the futures exchange takes a break and closes, no trading is allowed. During this time a maintenance margin is required. Here is an example for Emini S&P 500 futures. The CME sets the maintenance margin for each commodity and it changes depending on volatility. Right now the Emini S&P 500 Maintenance Margin is $12,000 per contract. So if you have an open position (swing trade) while the market is closed, you're required to have at least $12,000 per contract in your account. Day trade margins are set by your broker and all brokers set different day trade margins. The day trade margins at Amp futures is $400 per contract to day trade one Emini S&P 500 contract. Let's say I have a $5,000 account and I'm trading 1 Emini S&P 500 contract. I can go long or short as many times as I want as long as my account has at least $400 in it to take the next trade. Also, I would have to be trading during the day trade margin times to take advantage of this. Again, Maintenance Margin is required on Monday to Friday 4:15pm - 4:30pm and 5pm - 6pm eastern. Maintenance Margin is also required from 5pm Friday to 6pm Sunday eastern. Everything else is day trade margin. Do your research on ES and NQ futures. When you get a system and you're profitable on SIM start trading with micro ES or Micro NQ. Day trade margin for 1 micro ES contact is $40 at Amp futures and maintenance margin is $1,200 for 1 micro ES.

Ever since I tried focusing on scalping use Peter Davies techniques but on only Nasdaq while using correlating markets such as the YM , ES, RTY, my success rate has been going up higher. I start with a small size and if trade is working I start sizing in. If it's grinding slowly upward I would add another 1/3rd or 1/4th moving the stop to break even. If volume picks up, like you said in your previous videos, hit with size knowing I'll have cushion till break even. What really helped me is when I get in initially, leave a very wide stop letting it play around but add into winner if it starts working my way. Thanks for what you do sir!

Scalping is fun. Microsoft was a good catch today near 185 to the short side on that first peak. The ask sized up to 300+ lots making entry easy. It wasn't a hold though - the same position would be underwater now (10:47am ET).

[@SharpclawsXx]

I'm happy to hear that you guy's like the scalping strategy. I've gravitated more towards being a scalper and a lot of traders laugh at it. I use prior days VWAP with big RVOL along with options flow to tell me if I'm right or not. I have my lines up from the previous big RVOL day's VWAP and look for large blocks of calls at least a week or 2 out with high Delta. When the Delta is up in the .90s and they start selling I look for the acceleration to slow down, usually when the Delta gets down to .50s/.60s near one of those VWAP lines for a nice liquid bounce. The time doesn't seem to matter as much for it as the Delta, for me anyway.

Many say scalping will blow your account absolutely not true it is just more time intensive and you are not letting a trade run unless its a confirmed break out. I will make 25 trades a day. I take maybe 25 to 50% of a 100% potential move. This was your best Video for traders

Can You teach me how it's done? Please. how can i communicate with you privately?

[@timincal2002]

@@sammiebeeyah8070 Sammie, you cannot learn scalping(or PDT in general) quickly. Anyone who tells you otherwise is very likely lying to you. Scalping (and PDT) requires a very high level of mental discipline, near flawless order execution, great understanding of what markets and products to choose to scalp, understanding the specifics of these markets and products, significant experience with understanding the price action/indicators of the market->product you scalp, and a fanatical adherence to protecting your capital-accepting losing frequently without it messing with your psyche-sticking to a rigid plan(plan will be based on loss target and the market->product). A note on market-products: most American equities follow SPX/SPY almost to the letter. HFT/Algos are trading precisely on the second to second movement of SPX/SPY. IMHO don't bother with anything, on a given day, mimicking SPY. Find something in play, try a product not connected to SPY or just go play SPY itself. You want to do this? Start practicing and learning. Use paper trading, take advantage of videos like this, books, learn and learn, month after month after month. You have almost no chance of being profitable without first obtaining significant, months and months, experience. And when you start trading live, most of all, at all cost, learn to lose with grace and a resilient outlook. Pick an amount you can lose (frequently too) that you can be ok with (for example, I can live with losing 45$ or less per round trip). Position sizing and intelligently chosen stop losses will be based on 45$. Ultimately, even if you're in the minority of profitable every month scalpers/PDTs, you will be losing 45$ A LOT of times. You damn well better mentally be able to lose 45$ many times a month else even if profitable you'll be doing harm to yourself in the process. Good luck

8PedroFerreira exactly, but mfs claim to know everything. Simply waiting for a stock to be oversold below 20 RSI level, check the MACD, no major news for the dip, hop on a call. Small and quick win.

[@keen2461]

@@8PedroFerreira You pointed out correctly "since the beginning of the year...". That doesn't mean anything. To have a statistical probability sound result on any field, you need a large sample size. Someone can have 8 out 10 trades won, but that is mostly luck, not trading skill. One of the (main) reasons why people struggle so much trading, is that they don't have a clue about probabilty and that people tend to fool themselves a lot. Just so you know, "reasonable" winning % is

I finally decided that I want my system as simple as possible with as few indicators as possible to prevent mental fatigue and eye strain.

[@mehrdadmortezaei1566]

Recently discovered this channel, and I find the content so helpful. My favourite scalping strategety is channel trading. Taking quick .10 to .15 gains midday on small caps. Stocks that have put in their range and are consolidating in a channel such as $3.50 to $3.25. I mostly do this on stocks that are barried in intraday longs stuck from the morning session and usually every attempt to break the channel is met with inventory on the offers.

Today was 2nd best ever. I am a short scalper and long scalp when edge appears. 13 green scalps today. 11 short, 2 long. Never give up....keep learning and stay small and heighten survival until your edge spots industrial candle movers and then capitalize off them. They move candles, us little guys don't. When giants take profit from upward spike....short. When dips bring lows giants buy bargains....long.
