Macketings 1min Scalping

This is a hyper-reactive scalping strategy designed for the 1-minute chart. It utilizes a strict four-EMA hierarchy (80/90/340/500) to ensure trades are only taken in the strongest aligned market trend. The strategy is built to be extremely tight on risk and focuses on capturing the immediate, high-momentum swing that follows a confirmed EMA retest or breakout.

Key Mechanics (How it Works):
Strict Trend Alignment: Entry is only permitted when the faster EMA band (80/90) and the price action are correctly aligned with the slow trend (340/500).

Long: EMA 80/90 must be above EMA 340/500, AND EMA 340 must be above EMA 500. (And vice-versa for Short.)

Expanded Retest Entry: The strategy waits for the price to retest or briefly enter the 80/90 band, then immediately enters upon the confirmed momentum breakout from that band.

Dynamic Risk Management (Tight Ride): The strategy is engineered to ride the wave aggressively while protecting capital immediately:

Extremely Tight Initial Stop Loss (0.2% default): Limits initial risk instantly.

Break-Even Security: Once profit hits 0.3%, the Stop Loss is automatically trailed to secure 0.2% profit (a risk-free trade).

Aggressive Exit Logic: Positions are closed not only upon hitting the Take Profit target (2.5%) but also immediately if the 80/90 EMA band crosses the 340 EMA, signaling a critical loss of momentum.
Disclaimer:
This strategy requires high-liquidity instruments and is best used on low timeframes (1-minute) due to its dependency on fast momentum shifts and tight stops. Backtesting and forward testing are crucial before deployment.
