High Accuracy Scalping Strategy

High Accuracy Scalping Strategy

Overview

This strategy is designed for scalping on lower timeframes (e.g., 1-5 minutes) in volatile markets like forex, crypto, or indices. It generates buy and sell signals based on a combination of momentum, volatility, and overbought/oversold conditions to identify high-probability entry points for quick trades. The strategy incorporates adaptive risk management using ATR-based stop-loss (SL) and take-profit (TP) levels, ensuring exits are dynamically adjusted to market volatility rather than fixed pips or percentages. An optional EMA filter can be enabled to add trend alignment, reducing whipsaws in ranging markets.Why Multi-Indicator Approach?Combining multiple indicators is essential here to create a robust signal generation system that filters out noise and improves accuracy in fast-moving scalping environments. Each indicator serves a complementary role:

RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures momentum and identifies oversold (for buys) or overbought (for sells) conditions, helping spot potential reversals.

Stochastic Oscillator: Provides additional momentum confirmation through %K and %D crossovers, focusing on short-term price extremes while being smoothed to avoid erratic signals.
Bollinger Bands: Adds a volatility layer by comparing price to dynamic bands (based on standard deviation), signaling entries when price touches the lower band (potential buy) or upper band (potential sell).
ATR (Average True Range): Used exclusively for exits, it calculates SL and TP based on recent volatility, ensuring risk-reward ratios (customizable via inputs) adapt to the asset's behavior rather than static values.
Optional EMA (Exponential Moving Average): Acts as a trend filter to ensure entries align with the short-term direction (e.g., buys only above EMA), preventing counter-trend trades.

These components work synergistically: RSI and Stochastic provide dual momentum confirmation to validate overbought/oversold states, while Bollinger Bands add volatility context to avoid entries in low-volatility squeezes. The EMA filter (disabled by default for broader signal generation) overlays a trend bias, and ATR ensures exits are practical and volatility-aware. This mashup reduces false positives common in single-indicator strategies (e.g., RSI alone might signal in a strong trend), leading to higher win rates in backtesting on scalping setups. The combination draws from classic technical analysis but is tuned for scalping with shorter default lengths and crossover logic, making it original in its integrated, adaptive design rather than a simple overlay of unrelated tools.

How It Works

Buy Signal: Triggered when RSI is oversold (<30 by default) OR price is at/ below the lower Bollinger Band, AND Stochastic %K crosses over %D while below the oversold level (20). If EMA filter is enabled, price must also be above the EMA.
Sell Signal: Triggered when RSI is overbought (>70) OR price is at/above the upper Bollinger Band, AND Stochastic %K crosses under %D while above the overbought level (80). If EMA filter is enabled, price must be below the EMA.
Entries: Long on buy, short on sell, using a percentage of equity (default 100%) for position sizing.
Exits: For longs, SL at entry price minus (ATR * SL RR, default 1.0), TP at entry plus (ATR * TP RR, default 2.0). Opposite for shorts. This creates a favorable risk-reward asymmetry.
Visuals: Green triangle below bar for buys, red above for sells. Blue EMA line plotted for reference.

The strategy is backtest-ready with initial capital of $1000 and USD currency, but results vary by asset and timeframe—always forward-test.How to UseAdd to chart and customize inputs: Adjust RSI/Stochastic/BB lengths for your timeframe (shorter for scalping), tweak overbought/oversold levels, or enable EMA filter for trending markets.
Best on liquid assets with volatility (e.g., BTC/USD, EUR/USD). Use on 1-15min charts for scalping.
Monitor signals visually or via alerts. Combine with manual discretion for news events.
Risk management: Start with small position sizes; the ATR-based exits help preserve capital.

This script is original in its tuned parameter defaults, optional filter integration, and focus on scalping synergy, differentiating it from generic multi-indicator scripts by emphasizing adaptive volatility handling and reduced false signals through cross-confirmation.
