My Heikin Ashi Scalping Strategy That Makes Me $18,504/Month

Summary

The presenter describes a Heikin-Ashi breakout scalping strategy and claims it earns him about $18,500 per month. He says it took him more than three years to reach his current trading level. The video provides chart examples, but no independently verifiable performance data or win-rate statistics.

Strategy checklist

The setup is intended for a 1-minute chart and uses a 100-period EMA:

1. Display Heikin-Ashi candles.
2. Use the 1-minute timeframe; the presenter says no higher-timeframe analysis is needed.
3. Add a 100-period EMA to establish directional bias:
   • Candles above the EMA: look only for buys.
   • Candles below the EMA: look only for sells.
   • Avoid trading when price is oscillating around the EMA.
4. Wait for a trend pullback, defined as at least two candles of the opposite color. Mark the relevant prior candle-body level before the pullback.
5. Enter only after a Heikin-Ashi candle’s body closes beyond that level—not merely after price briefly wicks through it. For a short, the presenter describes entering at the candle’s lower wick; for a long, at its upper wick.
6. Place the stop beyond the entry candle and target at least a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio.

The presenter argues that Heikin-Ashi candles smooth price action and help filter false breakouts. In one example, he says a planned 1:1 trade would have produced an actual 3.4:1 ratio when assessed using regular candles. That result is specific to his example and is not presented as a typical outcome.

Markets, timing, and performance claims

• The presenter says the approach can be used on NQ, ES, gold, currency pairs, and options, as well as other sufficiently liquid markets.
• He emphasizes trading with adequate volume. Trades commonly take under a minute to three minutes, he says, while low-volume trading—such as at 2 a.m.—might take 10–30 minutes.
• He prefers the first two to three hours of the New York session and gives 9–11 a.m. Eastern as a preferred window. One example took 1 hour and 10 minutes, which he acknowledges was not scalping.
• He says the strategy may produce two to five setups per day and cautions against forcing as many as 20 trades daily.
• He explicitly says the strategy does not win every trade and that losses are normal. He claims traders who follow the rules will win more often than they lose, but provides no supporting statistics.

Risks and caveats

Heikin-Ashi candles use averaged values, so their displayed prices may differ from prices available for actual execution. The claimed improvement in risk-to-reward from comparing Heikin-Ashi setups with regular candles should not be assumed to occur consistently in live trading. The video does not provide position-sizing rules, a documented track record, or an analysis of transaction costs and slippage.

The presenter promotes a paid “inner circle,” including courses, live trading sessions, and coaching, and directs viewers to another video about trading with other people’s capital. The video subtitles contain no explicit financial-advice disclaimer; the channel description says the material is for entertainment and that the creator is not a CPA, broker, or legal financial adviser.
