Scalp Momentum MT4 Forex Trading Strategy


The Scalp MT4 Forex Trading Strategy is now available for download on AtoZ Markets indicators gallery.

This strategy relies on trading around a momentum candles. We prepare ourselves for any price action that may follow by trading around a momentum candle.

What size candle should we be looking for? It is difficult to determine the size of a candle because markets and currency pairs have different ranges. A momentum candle could be 10 pips in length and full-bodied on a market where the price moves 1.5 to 3.0 pips per minute.

As long as the candles are designated as momentum candles, the momentum move can be as long as a few candles, or as long as two, three, or five candles.

We will be watching for the price of retracement for a few candles after such a thrust using momentum candles. It should not exceed 30 candles. We wait for the price rollback to signal a possible resumption. We could then set up our trade by using stop orders.
