The video also discusses the pros and cons of this trading approach.

Key takeaways

• Scalping Strategy: This is a trading method focused on making small profits on numerous trades, often holding positions for very short periods (seconds to minutes).
• Core Principles:
  1. Trade Stocks Only: Focus on stocks with high trading volume.
  2. Moving Averages: Utilize 10-period and 34-period moving averages to identify buy (pink line crosses above blue line in an uptrend) and sell/short (pink line crosses below blue line in a downtrend) signals.
  3. Relative Strength Index (RSI): Use the RSI, with levels set at 75 (overbought) and 25 (oversold), to confirm momentum. An oversold RSI suggests potential upward movement, while an overbought RSI suggests potential downward movement.
  4. 1% Cap on Profit and Loss: Limit both potential gains and losses to 1% of the investment to manage risk and eliminate emotional trading.
• Pros of Scalping: Potential for rapid profits, ability to identify numerous trading opportunities daily, and less time spent on stock selection.
• Cons of Scalping: Patterns may not always work as expected, emotional trading can interfere, and frequent trading incurs higher brokerage fees.
