🔴 🏆 (9 Wins Out of 10)... This 90% WIN RATE Scalping Strategy Should Be Illegal

Main summary

Key takeaways

Finance

Core premise (win rate matters most for scalping)

The video emphasizes that win rate is the single most important metric for scalping, and that improving it is the foundation for performance.

Primary strategy: 25% retracement profit target

The approach targets only a small portion of the pullback (the “price deviation” back toward an EMA), rather than trying to capture the full move.

Claimed win-rate vs. retracement size

  • 100% retracement target: ~1 win out of 10 (10% win probability)
  • 75% retracement target: ~2 wins out of 10 (20% win probability)
  • 50% retracement target: ~6 wins out of 10 (60% win probability)
  • 25% retracement target: ~9 wins out of 10 (90% win probability)

Explicit recommendation

  • Prefer a 25% retracement target.
  • Increasing beyond 50% is framed as “greed”, which sharply reduces win rate.

Risk caution / market behavior note

If you rely on larger targets (which imply lower win rates), the strategy would require maintaining at least about a 1:5 risk-to-reward to work. However, the video claims the market behaves adversarially about 70% of the time (e.g., shakeouts/reversals), so the market often may not cooperate.

Methodology: step-by-step framework (as described)

1) Chart setup

  • Use a 1-minute chart (candles form over 1 minute)
    • Bullish candle: close > open
    • Bearish candle: close < open
  • Use only one moving average:
    • A 20-period EMA
    • Instruction: delete all other EMAs and keep only the 20 EMA

2) Market direction filter (non-repaint indicator)

Use a non-repaint indicator with color-based bias:

  • Red: only look for sell entries
  • Green: only look for buy entries

Rule behavior (as described): the signal color should remain consistent (non-repaint), preventing flips as long as the underlying trend stays bearish/bullish.

3) EMA pullback entry trigger

Base entries on price interaction with the 20 EMA.

Bearish case (for sells)

  1. Price pushes above the 20 EMA
  2. Price closes back below the 20 EMA → Sell signal

Bullish case (for buys)

  1. Price drops below the 20 EMA
  2. Price closes back above the 20 EMA → Buy signal

4) Stochastic oscillator confirmation filter

Add a stochastic oscillator with settings:

  • %K = 8, %D = 5, slowing = 3

Only take signals when stochastic confirms via crossover:

  • For sell: require a bearish crossover
    • “yellow line crosses below blue line”
  • If there is no bearish crossover, the sell is described as invalid and should be skipped.

Execution timing options (as described):

  • Enter at the close of the signal candle, or
  • Enter at the open of the next candle

5) Profit-taking

  • Apply the 25% retracement profit target to reach the claimed high-probability outcome.
  • Trade management concept described:
    • Lock profits at 25% first
    • Optionally let a portion continue toward 50%
      • Framed as reasonable since 50% is still claimed to be about a ~60% win rate

Key performance claims / numbers highlighted

Win-rate targets vs. retracement percentage

  • 25% → 90% (9/10 wins)
  • 50% → 60% (6/10 wins)
  • 75% → 20% (2/10 wins)
  • 100% → 10% (1/10 wins)

Market environment risk note

  • The video claims markets behave adversarially about 70% of the time, leading to stop-outs when traders chase larger moves.

Timing

  • Execution logic is described using a 1-minute timeframe.

Assets / instruments mentioned

  • No specific tickers, ETFs, stocks, bonds, commodities, or crypto instruments were named.
  • The strategy is described as market-agnostic (“test it on different markets”).
