Tried Oil again - not so easy this time ( Is this a Monday syndrome?) - some bad discipline trades against the flow here and a few pips. The heart was a divergent macd which I got wrong -price broke up but not closing past previous high on left. Broke a resistance line from pre open for a reasonable short then a classic bounce short from a return to aforementioned support/resistance line.
Those horizontals are from a 5 minute chart and I am aware of my hourly box top/bottom

The MACD is experimental and I should, maybe, give it more attention. Old (Roadmap) habits die hard

Overall a reasonable morning albeit could be better if I was more patient and paid more attention to my pre open levels.

Charts speak for themselves...I pay close attention to the channel and where are the candles opening and closing in relation to the 5m channel once in a trade.. They are a great momentum indicator,,, When trading oil the 9am NYMEX open is important...TIMING Levels where are you on the Map ? Round #s ? HOD, LOD, HOW, below the Close/Open etc etc Behaviour...What is price doing ? Patterns, larger timeframes uptrend etc. Its all a Roadmap {image} {image}

Last chart for a while
One minute oil - good opportunities -couple of good trades and two losing towards my finish at 10am UK time.
Note my approach may vary from yours - but "Roadmap" is core.
Good luck to all.

awesome Trading "Roadmap", specially for beginners that dont know yet what to look for.

Can only recommend it.

My question about the strategy is whether it is valid for scalping trading ?

As it's more a general roadmap rather than a straight up system, it's very much possible to scalp with it.

Just as a heads up... most traders scalp not because they are good at it, but because they think they will make more money with it.

Reality is that the lower timeframe you go, the more difficult it is for a trader to be profitable.
More decisions that need to be made, more mental stress/fatigue resulting to making more mistakes.. and the list goes on.

To sum up.. I suggest trading higher timeframes, if you want to see a green account. The higher you go the easier it is.

of course you can choose to ignore what I said, just a well meant advice, in case you are newer to trading.

Good description of Roadmap and good advice on trading in general. Might add that the biggest obstacle to being successful is yourself, a cliche maybe but an eternal truth nonetheless.
But people still ask if this or that is good for scalping etc etc - but few actually try an approach or modify same to suit their personality.
Many potential traders trained via the "Turtle" system but many failed and a few excelled.
Just think -if every "system you saw on FF was profitable for all who took them up, without any effort from themselves to acquire a suitable mindset, and testing plusadapting the method to their mindset; then the market would collapse.
But the market thrives? (Rhetorical question.)

UK afternoon - 1:30pm to 4pm UK time And again - Good trades on oil {image}
Good markup run and at the high two failed reversals the failed PA actually becomes a re-hike. Thereafter the second failed reversal but it also could be MMs anticipated the clearout and put price in a new up and down range to coax in more longs to fill there own short orders, later a markdown and the market gets into re-distribution phase. Nice trade.
Core of MMs is passing longs for shorts
