This rapid fire scalping forex strategy with frequent entry, uses stochastic for position timing. We identify major trend in lower timeframes by using combination of moving averages. Once we identify the trend, we can concentrate on position entry. Stochastic does a good job of pointing out to good enough price for us to enter. We will be also looking at the chart to distinguish between bullish and bearish candles for stop loss placement.
This forex strategy takes frequent scalping trades in the direction of trend. Avoid trading in high volatility and during the news release (as with other scalping forex strategies). Use only currency pairs with minimal spread and choose your broker wisely. Scalping is demanding on time and concentration and therefore more suitable for experienced forex traders.
For the best results, trade with professional ECN/STP broker with MT4. If you can't trade with profit. Automatically copy the traders that are already profitable.
