Title: เทรดสั้นแล้วแพ้บ่อย…ลอง 4 เทคนิคนี้! | Scalping | TradeX
Presenter / channel: Trade X (YouTube)
Concepts referenced: Smart Money Concepts (SMC), VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)

Instruments / tools referenced

Markets: stocks / high‑liquidity markets / shortable “pairs” (no specific tickers given)
Indicators and tools:
- VWAP (daily, resets each trading day)
- Volume
- Candlestick patterns
SMC concepts used: Fair Value Gap (FVG), liquidity sweeps / liquidity grabs, market structure shift (MSS)

Timeframes and context

Trading style: scalping / short‑term trading (seconds to minutes)
Primary chart timeframes: 1‑minute and 5‑minute charts
VWAP usage: intraday VWAP, reset daily

Four tested scalping techniques (step‑by‑step)

1) Previous‑Day False Breakout (Liquidity Sweep / “Fall Breakout”) — presenter’s favorite

Setup

Mark previous‑day high and previous‑day low as key levels (support / resistance).
Observe how the current day opens relative to those lines.

Execution

Wait for a breakout above or below the previous‑day level that then reverses (false breakout / liquidity sweep).
Do NOT trade the initial breakout. Wait for the reversal after liquidity has been grabbed.
Enter on price‑action confirmation of the reversal (e.g., engulfing candle, long wick, high volume on reversal).

Confirmation signs

High volume on the breakout followed by reversal (suggests big‑player liquidity sweep).

Risk management

Stop‑loss beyond the extreme touched during the sweep.
Let the move run if confirmed; scalp scale‑outs as appropriate.

2) First Pullback after Market Structure Shift (First Pullback)

Setup

Identify a Market Structure Shift (MSS): e.g., break of recent highs in a down→up shift or break of recent lows in up→down.

Execution

Do NOT trade the breakout itself.
Wait for the first retracement / pullback back to the new support/resistance (the first return).
Enter with price‑action / candlestick confirmation on the first pullback (hammer, reversal candlesticks, etc.).

Rationale

First pullback offers a higher‑probability entry early in the new trend.

Risk management

Place stop‑loss below/above the pullback zone.
Target favorable reward:risk and scale out quickly (scalp).

3) Pullback to VWAP (VWAP strategy)

Setup

Use intraday VWAP (resets daily). Identify overall intraday trend.

Execution

Wait for price to retrace to the VWAP line.
Look for confirmation price action (engulfing candles, clear rejection, volume confirmation).
Buy bounces above VWAP in uptrends; short rejections below VWAP in downtrends.

Confirmation

Engulfing candles or strong price engagement around VWAP plus supporting volume.

Risk management

Quick entries; set R:R targets; only trade when confirmation is present.

4) Pullback to Fair Value Gap (FVG)

Setup / definition

Fair Value Gap (FVG): a rapid three‑candle impulsive move that creates a gap area. Per the presenter, measure the gap from the high of candle 1 to the low of candle 3 in a rapid 3‑candle surge.

FVGs commonly follow sharp impulsive moves (news, panic, manipulation); price often returns to “fill” that area.

Execution

In a trending context, wait for price to return into the FVG area.
Take a trade aligned with the primary trend (buy FVG touch in uptrend, short FVG touch in downtrend).
For finer entries, zoom into a lower timeframe to find precise entry points inside the FVG.

Rationale

Trade the market’s re‑pricing back to fair value and join resumed momentum after the fill.

Price‑action patterns and confirmations

Common candlestick signals: bullish/bearish engulfing, hammer, three‑line strike, long wicks (rejections).
Volume: high volume on breakout followed by reversal supports the false‑breakout / liquidity‑grab thesis.
Core SMC concepts for timing: Market Structure Shift (MSS) and liquidity sweeps.

Key numbers and explicit rules

Timeframes: 1‑minute and 5‑minute charts for scalping.
VWAP: use the daily VWAP (resets each trading day).
FVG measurement: from high of candle 1 to low of candle 3 in a rapid 3‑candle move.

Risk management and trading rules emphasized

Focus on quick entries and exits (scalping).
Always use a stop‑loss. Place stops logically (beyond swing extremes, sweep extremes, or pullback zones).
Target favorable reward:risk; wait until R:R targets are met and scale out.
Prefer high‑liquidity markets.
Generally do NOT trade breakouts — instead trade pullbacks or reversals after liquidity sweeps.
Prioritize certainty: wait for price‑action and volume confirmation before entering.

Performance and results

Presenter reports they tested the four methods and they “worked best” for them.
No quantitative performance metrics, win rates, or explicit P&L examples were provided.

Cautions and disclaimers

The video repeatedly cautions: do not enter without confirmation; wait for price action and volume confirmation; always use stop‑loss and manage R:R.
No formal “not financial advice” disclaimer was present in the subtitles.

Overall takeaway

Four scalping strategies focused on trading:

false breakouts / liquidity sweeps (previous‑day levels),
first pullbacks after market‑structure shifts,
pullbacks to the daily VWAP, and
fills of Fair Value Gaps.

Common themes: trade in high‑liquidity markets on 1–5 minute charts, wait for price‑action and volume confirmation, use strict stop‑losses, and aim for favorable reward:risk in quick scalps.
