3. When all the conditions for sell or buy are met on M15, draw a straight line to mark out the anticipated reversal point.

4. After drawing a line on M15, move to M5 for further confirmation of The V75 Scalping Trading Strategy .

Take the following actions if you see any of the following on M5:

Scenario 1 All the conditions met on M15 are also met M5 Action: Mark as HIGH POTENTIAL SET UP

Scenario 2 All the conditions met on M15 are not met on M5 Action: DISCARD TRADE IMMEDIATELY AND WAIT FOR ANOTHER SIGNAL ON M15

Scenario 3 All the conditions of the V75 Scalping Trading Strategy met on M15 are about to be met on M5 Action:

WAIT PATIENTLY FOR COMPLETE SIGNAL FORMATION ON M5 BEFORE ENTERING

5. In the case of Scenario 1, you must carry out the following simple analysis before entering your trade:

– Switch to M30 and H1 timeframes to check if the price is moving in a direction opposite to your short-term prediction. If it is, DON’T ENTER ATRADE. This is because a strong fake reversal might occur which will most likely hit your stop loss.

Example: The conditions for SELL have been met on M15 and confirmed on M5. But when you checked M30 and H1, you noticed that the BUYING POWER is high. This means price might not respect the signal and move along with the trend instead.

To detect the trend direction on both M30 and H1, you will check the crossover on the Stochastic Oscillator and MACD histogram formation.

BUY BIAS: Stochastic Blue line crosses the Red and moves upward, while the MACD predicts an upward movement.

SELL BIAS: Stochastic Blue line crosses the Red and moves downward, while the MACD predicts a downward movement. 6. If all these conditions are met, you can safely enter your trade on M5.

How To Enter A Trade Using The V75 Scalping Trading Strategy

1. All trades should be executed and monitored on M5 only.

2. Before entering a trade, decide on the lot size to use depending on the size of your account. Make sure you understand risk management.

4. When all your signals have formed on all timeframes, switch to M5 and place a STOP ORDER a few PIPS below (For a SELL TRADE) or above (For a BUY TRADE).

5. Stop loss should be placed a few pips above the highest or lowest candlestick (depending on the type of trade). Note that there is always a possibility of a retest before the final movement.
