A simple idea:

Daily - EMA cross to determine directional bias for the next 5 days * EMA 5 and 9
Valid only if the prev. HL of the confirmation candle is broken on the next day (day 1)

This is a strategy for finding good trading opportunities
( This is only for bias / direction - trades would be taken intraday on appropriate setups )
Short term trades - SR levels - price action in the direction of the EMAs for the next 5 days



PROFITABLE SCENARIO ( short signal - looking for short trades for the next 5 day )

" WASTE OF TIME " SCENARIO ( short signal - next candle broke the LOW but then went nowhere )

NO TRADES SCENARIO ( buy signal but the next day's candle didn't break the HIGH of the confirmation candle )

Again, this is just for directional bias - use your own strategy intraday or you can try to adapt it to a swing trading strategy, but the confirmation candles usually are quite large, SL would have to be quite wide and TP at least to x1 of the candle's length in order to give you a good R.


But have fun with it, it's easy to backtest on your favourite financial instrument.

Not necessarily, to me scalping means taking 2, 3 ticks, this setup will easily provide 20, 30 ( 70 - 100 ) ticks in this high volatility market so no, it's not only for scalpers, but you can scalp on it if that's your trading strategy.

You can even run swing trading statistics on it and see the result for holding a trade for 2, 3 days.
