M1 scalping 2 Breaks 2 Bases (conservative)
The pattern can also be applied to M1 and above using 1 Break 1 Base (aggressive)
Base (engulf) is where the original price initiated the break
update: mtf engulf and 1b1b combo

Trade only when the following conditions are met
1. Trade during Market Open Sessions (Local times)
Tokyo: 9 am
Asia (Singapore/Hong Kong): 9 am
Frankfurt: 8 am
London: 8 am
New York: 8 am
NYSE: 9.30 am
2. Trade with the Trend (Time frames based)
Higher Highs Higher Lows / Trend Line / 3 Candles Swing High Low
Intra day: H4/H1/M30
Scalping: M15 and below
THE TREND IS YOUR FRIEND. never fight it. disregard that at your own peril. Why?
Your best trades go with the trend.
The trend increases your win rate, reward and minimizes draw down.
Even if your trades fail, they would be lesser than otherwise.
Make use of pullback as an opportunity to ready yourself ahead of the market to join the trend.
Your biggest losses came from fighting the trend.
Traders going against the trend should seriously ask themselves why.
Make use of multi time frames.
Most traders are focusing in the lower time frames zooming in. ZOOM OUT even in lower time frames.
That's why i have only one direction trades most of the time each single day.
Unless I encounter the daily support n resistance and multi time frames confluences to counter trend.
3. Trade around HTF significant Key Level (H1 and above)
Support and Resistance / Supply and Demand / Engulf.
Every single candle of Daily/Weekly OHLC is support and resistance.

If a trader is able to select a higher time frame level to trade around with, and that is able to match the big boys significant key level during a market session
that is the crux of the whole matter in trading, whatever and whatnot the indicators or no indicator that one uses in lower time frames. Without it, trading is like a headless chicken running around taking all the signals your indicator gives in the lower time frames.
4. Trade with LTF Entry signal confirmation
2B2B (m1)
Trade Entry: 1) Liquidity sweep. 2) Trade entry between 2nd break to 2nd base (engulf) or 1st base (engulf). Candle cannot close beyond 1st base
Stop Loss: Away from 2nd base or 1st base
Take Profit: 40 - 60 pips or to traders' discretion eg. 1, 2, 3 SnR levels away
1B1B (m1 and above). 1 break and 1 base for trend continuation
Trade Entry: 1) Liquidity sweep. 2) Trade entry between break to base (engulf). Candle cannot close beyond base
Stop Loss: Away from base
Take Profit: 40 - 60 pips or to traders' discretion eg. 1, 2, 3 SnR levels away
5. Final check that LTF Entry signal confirmation is supported by significant HTF Key Level (H1 and above)
