MACD Volume VWAP Scalping (2min) by Obiii

📘 Strategy Description (for TradingView)

MACD Volume VWAP Scalping Strategy (2-Minute Intraday Momentum)

This strategy is designed for scalpers and short-term intraday traders who focus on capturing small, high-probability moves during the most active hours of the trading session — typically between 9:45 AM and 11:30 AM (New York time).

The system combines three key momentum confirmations:

MACD crossovers to detect short-term trend shifts,

Volume spikes to validate real market participation, and

VWAP / EMA alignment to filter trades in the direction of the prevailing intraday trend.

🔹 Entry Logic

Long Entry:

MACD line crosses above the signal line

Both MACD and Signal are above zero

Current volume > average of the last 10 candles

Price is above VWAP and (optionally) above EMA 9 and EMA 20

Short Entry:

MACD line crosses below the signal line

Both MACD and Signal are below zero

Current volume > average of the last 10 candles

Price is below VWAP and (optionally) below EMA 9 and EMA 20

🎯 Exit Logic

Fixed Take Profit: +0.25%

Fixed Stop Loss: -0.15% to -0.20%

Optionally, switch to the 5-minute chart after entry to monitor momentum and manage exits more smoothly.

⚙️ Recommended Settings

Timeframe: 2 minutes (entries), 5 minutes (monitoring)

Market Session: 9:45 AM – 11:30 AM EST

Assets: Highly liquid instruments such as SPY, QQQ, NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, or large-cap momentum stocks.

💡 Notes

This is a momentum-based scalping strategy — precision and discipline are key.

It performs best in high-volume environments where clear direction emerges after the morning volatility settles.

The system can be fine-tuned for different profit targets, MACD settings, or volume thresholds depending on volatility.
