Scalp Trend Engine v2 (Alerts + TP/SL)Scalp Trend Engine: Methodology & Trading Rules
1. Core Philosophy
The Scalp Trend Engine is designed for high-frequency, precision execution on lower timeframes (1m, 3m, 5m). Unlike swing trading systems that rely on confirmed structure (which lags), this engine prioritizes immediate momentum aligned with the dominant trend, filtered by volatility.
"Trade the Ripple, Filter the Chop."
2. Technical Components
Component Setting Purpose
Fast EMA 9 Immediate price momentum direction.
Slow EMA 50 Dominant trend baseline.
ATR 14 Measures current market "noise" / volatility.
Spread Filter 0.25x ATR Ensures trend is strong enough to trade (avoids flat markets).
3. Trade Logic
The "Go/No-Go" Gauge (The Filter)
Before any trade is considered, the Spread Condition must be met:
Distance between EMA 9 and EMA 50 > 0.25 * ATR
Why? If the lines are touching or tangled (less than 25% of an ATR candle apart), the market is "chopping." NO TRADE.
Long Setup (Buy)
Trend: EMA 9 is ABOVE EMA 50.
Filter: Spread is valid (Market is expanding).
Trigger: Price closes ABOVE the EMA 9 (Pullback recovery).
Logic: Price dipped, touched/broke EMA 9, and is now reclaiming it in the direction of the uptrend.
Short Setup (Sell)
Trend: EMA 9 is BELOW EMA 50.
Filter: Spread is valid.
Trigger: Price closes BELOW the EMA 9.
Logic: Price rallied, failed, and is now breaking back down with the downtrend.
4. Risk Management (The "Engine" Settings)
This system uses ATR-based targets to adapt to market speed.
Stop Loss (SL): 1.0x ATR from Entry.
Theory: If price moves 1 full average candle against you, the immediate momentum is likely gone. Get out.
Take Profit (TP): 1.5x ATR from Entry.
Theory: Aim for a quick burst of continuation. This offers a 1:1.5 Risk/Reward Ratio.
5. Execution Workflow
Check Context: Is the macro trend (1H/4H) matching your scalp direction? (Optional but recommended).
Wait for Alert: Let the script ding you. Don't chase.
Verify Visuals:
Are the EMA lines clearly separated?
Is the "Target" dot feasible (not right into a huge resistance level)?
Execute: Enter at the close of the signal candle.
Set Orders: Place your OCO (One-Cancels-Other) bracket orders at the prices shown by the indicator dots.
