Scalping Strategy: FVG + Engulfing

This is a scalping strategy based on the Fair Value Gap (FVG) and Engulfing pattern confirmation. It identifies the high and low of the first 5-minute candle after the 9:30 AM EST market open and waits for a breakout supported by a Fair Value Gap. A trade is only triggered after a retest of the FVG zone followed by an engulfing candle in the direction of the breakout. Trades are entered with a fixed 3:1 risk-to-reward ratio and limited to 2 entries per trading day to avoid overtrading. Ideal for NASDAQ scalping on a 1-minute chart.
