5 & 20 Ema MACD CCI scalper

Here is a concept that I enjoy scalping on NQ, Oil S&P etc
This is a breakout strategy however we use the MAC and emas for conformation.
This can be used on short time frames and longer timeframes however I do recomend a 10min chart for scalping the NQ.
Risk is up to you, everyone has their own risk to reward.
Not much more to say on it really, is basic and clear to understand.

There is a chart attached with arrows showing roughly were the trades are taken, the video I made is better for info.

PLEASE NOTE: I added VWAP and have taken the 20 ema of the left side chart, the higher time frame chart.
VWAP ( only on the parent chart, higher timeframe chart)
I use 5ema and VWAP on higher time frame
5, 20 ema on lower timeframe chart
MACD: 8/20/5 (You can also change this to 5,20,5 to match the ema's of 5 & 20.
CCI 20 and it's ema 14.

Hello and thank you for your next sharing!
I'd like to kindly ask to ellaborate about your exits.

1. You say you exit when MACD crosses back or CCI back to the channel.
You had no reason to exit at 0,26% in your 2nd example - the exit crosses arrived only at the next big red candle:

2. The same in a minute:

As I mentioned in the video, I was just using this as an example and NOT a hard rule when I was showing an example of a buy or sell. Your exits would be up to you. Those blue bars where I was showing a scalp are/were just examples of a trade. There were showing a potential of how high or low a scalp might be plus you need to look at the CCI as it's faster than the MACD.
EDIT: If you look at the scalp where there was 81 points made, look at the CCI it was pointing up against a down trend, time to exit.
If you look at the scalp of 69 points the CCI was pointing down, time to exit
Looking at the CCI and if it turns on you exit from your trade.

So it's not a system? Just an entry idea on MAs cross, with several self-assuring "filters" and every one of them are based on MAs 5 and 20 again. No SL rule (up to you), no TP or exit rule (up to you).

Maybe a scalp brewing on the 10min chart of NQ.
Market is very heavy short.

looking at a 2min chart there was a long scalp, I missed this due to not being at the charts.
Scan your timeframes, you just might find more scalps

5min chart was also a scalp long
MACD line pushing above the zero line CCI above the zero line and the moving average and breaking up through the channel.
These trades pays your rent

this is my three chart setup.
i like the 1h, 10min and a shorter timeframe like a 2min
i'm looking for setups.
the 2min will always go first however i want to see the 10min move a bit, the 1h will be slow however it's good to have.
i'm a scalper. fast enties and exits.
also, if all of these charts trend in the same direction it's the perfect trade and in saying this, each chart is independant of each other due to timeframe difference.

100 point scalp in the Asia session on NQ.
The perfect trade.
I took this on the 3min chart, setup was perfect so enter long.

On my first post I had a MACD setting of 8, 20, 5
You can also change this to match the ema's of 5 & 20
So a new MACD setting would be 5, 20, 5, not much of a difference
This lines up with the ema cross overs better.
I had the previous settion of 8, 20, 5 as I wanted a bit of a lag. Feel free to use what ever you want.

I have found a better way to trade my original concept so I might stop this thread.
I'm keeping the thread alive as I did make a change however it was not as massive as I thought It would be for a stop of this thread.
See first post and a video on post 19 that explains the changes.

Cool mate, yes it does.
I'll make a vid of my new discovery and post it here.

The strategy that I started the thread is still alive however I added VWAP and removed the 20 EMA , you could still use a 5ema although the 20 is not required. Vwap helps shows us the way plus the Zero line of the MACD is about the same as a 20 ema.
I'll make another video with the changes.
