Scalping 1 Minute Candles
I've been trading for a couple of years now, and have taken around 15k in payouts in the last few months. Last night I tried scalping one minute candles, with each trade lasting anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. My trades usually run a lot longer, but what I've found trading this way is that I never went into the red, and the more trades I took the more I made. Ended up making $1300 in a couple of hours trading 5 micros, both trading chop and trend. I realised after a few years of looking at screens, I have a pretty good feel for how the 1 minute candles form. I was ruthlessly taking profits and stopping out
My question is, is anyone trading consistently profitable using this kind of strategy?
My other question is for you guys that have 90% plus winning days and are taking a heap of trades, is this what you're doing to achieve those results?
Cheers
