personally i think that scalping is gambling ever if you set s&r, draw trend lins, or fib. because there can alway be a breakout of any of your parametre.
5 mins chart is alway fast and respond easily respond to market spikes. you may be caugth in a fake out too. it is better to get simple indicators that can catch early trend and show you it is over.
what i do is i marry both the lagging indicators with the oscillators.

5 min chart is way too slow for scalping

Back in the old days... lol... I used to think a 1 min chart was too fast. Now it can be like watching paint dry. The definition of scalping appears a little broad - "short-term" is perhaps more appropriate for most.

my appraoch is that as a trader you build your own system and test run it on your paper trade again and again , to understand everything about it. when you discover it pit falls , you improve on it, keep a journal of all your trade each day.
the best system you can build is the combination of leading and lagging indicators. this will safe you against fake outs and it will help you to catch a trend. after you have done this then write your entry parametre and exist parametre and religiously follow it. as technical trader you want to be sure of news hour and stay out of the market, because news release can rubbish your analysis , until the market retraces back to it normal trend for the day.
hedgin, and scalping is like been caugth in a cross fire, that be be very risky , no matter your money management

as a follow up of building your own system, the candle stick is a leading indicator, i advise that it shouldn't be traded alone, because alot of flake out comes with it, but the introduction of the parabolic SAR will flow down hypes for you. the combination of parabolic SAR that is a lagging indication with candle sticks will naturally streamline fakeouts, making you to enter the market at a good price , catching a sure trend especially on a one chart, that is neither too fast or slow for an intraday trader.
if you paper trade this sytem for at least one month you can understand it advantages and disavatages , keeping a journal , the system will describe to you by itself your entry parametre and exist parametre.

never believe that there is an holy grail some where for fx , just build your sytem and test run it until you are satisfied.

I disagree, scalping can be safer than other styles depending upon your method.

also, i think you might be posting in the wrong thread, since this is a scalping thread.

happy trading

If this thread dead already?

I would like to hear from some tick / 10 sec scalpers and how they are currently doing? I plan on putting in some 5 sec chart screen time until I get a feel from the PA. What market times would you recommend for this?

It seems the G/J could be scalped outside of normal hours. The action on the 10 sec is very smooth.

G/J and G/C are both rollercoasting beasts at 1-5 am EST.
