The strategy involves waiting for a price sweep of these levels and then entering a trade in the opposite direction with a 1:2 risk-reward ratio. The presenter demonstrates the strategy with multiple live examples to build viewer confidence. ### Key Points - **Introduction to the Strategy** [00:04] — The video introduces a simple scalping strategy for the 5-minute time frame, promising to show multiple examples to build confidence. - **Indicator Setup** [00:29] — The strategy uses the Williams Fractals indicator, which marks swing highs and lows on the chart. The presenter emphasizes that this indicator is specific to this strategy. - **Marking Fractals on 4-Hour Chart** [01:08] — The strategy begins on the 4-hour time frame to identify a fractal (swing high or low). Once identified, the level is marked. - **Switching to 5-Minute Chart** [01:32] — After marking the 4-hour fractal, the trader switches to the 5-minute time frame and hides the fractal indicator to avoid confusion. - **Waiting for the Sweep** [01:59] — The trader waits for the price to sweep the marked high (or low) and then close back inside the range. This is called a 'sweep'. - **Entering the Trade** [02:27] — Once the sweep is confirmed, the trader enters a short position (if high is swept) or a long position (if low is swept). - **Setting Targets** [02:41] — The target is set at a 1:2 risk-reward ratio, meaning the potential profit is twice the risk. - **Sponsor Segment** [03:07] — The presenter promotes Delta Exchange for trading Bitcoin or Ethereum, offering a subscription and access to a private Telegram group for market information. - **Repeating the Process** [03:45] — After a trade completes, the trader returns to the 4-hour chart to find the next fractal and repeats the process. - **Handling Both High and Low** [04:24] — The strategy can be applied to both highs and lows. If the price sweeps the low, a long position is taken; if it sweeps the high, a short position is taken. - **Importance of Margin** [05:49] — The presenter emphasizes leaving a margin in the stop loss to avoid being stopped out by minor fluctuations, as demonstrated in an example where the price touched the stop loss level but then reversed. - **Series of Examples** [08:03] — The presenter shows a series of examples to demonstrate the strategy's effectiveness, noting that it's not always perfect and that losses are part of trading. - **Entry on Next Candle** [12:08] — In some cases, the entry is taken on the candle following the sweep, especially if the sweep candle is not too small. - **Backtesting Advice** [12:35] — The presenter advises viewers to backtest the strategy themselves and mentions that the channel offers multiple strategies for learning. - **Candle Strength Matters** [14:56] — The validity of a sweep is higher when it occurs with stronger candles. Small or Doji candles indicate a less reliable sweep. ### Conclusion The video provides a clear, step-by-step scalping strategy based on fractal sweeps, with a 1:2 risk-reward target. The presenter emphasizes the importance of waiting for a valid sweep and using margin in stop loss, while also acknowledging that no strategy works every time. ## Transcript Today I am going to tell you a very simple scalping strategy in a 5 minute time frame you will easily understand it but is so effective that you will enjoy watching it and I will not just give you an example. I will keep showing you whatever examples are made in a series wise so that you can gain confidence in that strategy. So let us go straight to our screen and after going to the screen, first of all we have to set an indicator. Now, just after hearing the name of the indicator, do not think that the indicator will be useless in the strategy. The indicator that we will use here is helping us only in this strategy. If you want, you can mark that thing yourself also. So the name of the indicator is William you can see that some high and low are marked here. Once we set this indicator as default. So here you can see that the top is green in color and the bottom is red in color, there are markings here. Now what is this actually telling us? It's basically just telling us swing high and swing low [music]. show you examples in a series wise manner so that you will understand the strategy and also know its effectiveness. So what do we have to do for this? Let's replay the chart a little bit here. Only then will you understand the strategy well and this is being done just to explain it to you. So here we are in the 4 hour time frame because we have to do marking. We will use the strategy in the 5 minute time frame. So now let's see where we end up with a fractal. Look, here our first fractal has been formed in the 4-hour time frame. So once this fractal is ours, what do we do? We have to mark this high in this 4 hour time frame in this manner. This is our high mark here. Now after this we have to come to a smaller time frame which is our 5 minute time frame. Now as you come to the 5 minute time frame, lot of factors are being formed here. So what is it with them? If you get confused here then hide it when you go to the 5 minute time frame. Now we have hidden it. What do we do now? Now we have to wait for the price to sweep this high level and after sweeping, when the price closes again below it, then we will take a short position here. So now let's see where the sweep happens. is currently moving below this range. Now you see Price went right over it. Many people must have thought that there has been a breakout here. So what would he have taken a buy position here. There must be a stop loss placed somewhere here. But his stop loss was hit. That means the price has come back inside this range. So when you see that the price once goes above the high and then comes back inside this range, then we call it a sweep. So what do you do once the sweep is done ? You can take your short position here. And as far as the target is concerned, we will take it at 1:2. So here you can see we have marked 1:2. Now let's see what happened in this trade. So you can see that the price directly came near our target from here. Now see, an example will emerge from anywhere. Now I will show you many more examples not selected some of these. I also don't know what is going to happen next. I just randomly opened the chart and started showing it to you. But before looking at further examples, if you want to trade Bitcoin or Ethereum , you use Delta Exchange. The link is given in the description and there are two benefits of using our link. First of all, you get a subscription of Adhirai worth ₹2000 from us. We also add you to our private Telegram group.

That also has to be filled. In which your details should be correct. Because we open your Delta Exchange account using our link and also fill out the Google form below. Now let's come back to the topic. So here you see that our trade has been completed. What do we do now? Going back to the 4 hour time frame. Have come in the four hour time reset the chart. What do we do here after this ? Here you can see this fractal, let's turn it fractal we had marked. After that we made the trade. Now we have to wait for the fractal to be formed again. Here you can see that the fractal has been formed again. So we move the previous range upwards. The previous trade is also removed because it was being told to you for your understanding. Now you can see that we have a high mark here. Now after this the price is still going down. So here the bottom side has also become a factoral. So what do we do now ? Let us mark this low here also. Now suppose the take a short position. If the price sweeps low, we will take a buy position. But what do we do after this ? We have to come in a small time frame i.e. in a time frame of 5 minutes. So we have come to the 5 minute time frame. Again, we remove this fact from here. And after this, see, here we will have to wait for the price to sweep some level or the other. Now while we were waiting, you can see that the So if the price is moving in a range then there is price has given movement here and on the bottom side you can see that the price has swept that level. Here also you can understand the meaning of sweep that the price first came below this level and again closed above this level. what do we do here once the price closes above this level ? Because there was a sweep down. We will take a long position here. So as soon as this candle closes inside it , we take our long position here. target is concerned, again we will take the target of 1:2 here. So our target here is 1:2. Now let's see what happens next. You can see the you can see that the price starts moving towards our target. It goes into a little bit of range and after that you can see that the price went above our target and went out. That means again our trade is done here. Now anyone can show two examples. So let's go back to the 4 hour time frame. Let us turn on our fractal option here. Now the high that we have marked in the 4 hour time frame is far away. You can see and here we also see a low forming. But we had made our trade at this place. So now let us wait for a new fractal to form so that we can place a trade there. So here you can see a new freckle has formed. is not that important because it is very far away. So what did we do? We have marked this one which is our high. Now after this we come to the smaller time frame i.e. 5 minute see that the next fractal here has already been formed on the bottom side. So now this is our high and low. Now I have come to the 5 minute time frame. Now I will take the trade on whichever side the sweep happens. But here you can see the I have removed it. Now after this let us see what happens to the price here ? There is either a high sweep or a low sweep. So next we do the wait which is a not as much wait as you are thinking. So here you can see that the price has swept the high. But in this sweep, you can see that very small candles have been formed here. So now, these sweeps often have we can do a little bit of weight here. As you can see, the price has again gone above this range. So if these small candles are being formed then if you want, you can avoid it here. But suppose if we take the trade here also you will feel that I am being selective but already we should do this, so here you can see this is our high range, so we will leave a little margin, our stop loss will be somewhere here and for the target we will take 1:2, so 1:2 is formed here. Now after this we wait to see which way the price goes. So here you can see that since we have left margin in the stop loss, the price has not yet reached our stop loss. After that it started coming down again and here you can see, I think our target here, you can almost see that now our target would have been achieved here, that is, our trade was made again which was a little more than 1:2. So our target had to be achieved in the past. So what will we do from here on out? Will go again in 4 hour time frame. Meaning you can see that I am showing it exactly series wise. It is choosing anywhere as per my wish. Turned on the Aya Fractal in the 4 hour time frame. Now see what my high is? My high is here now. I gave it a high mark. Look, I still have the same one. So we'll leave our take right there. After this we price is currently moving in the 4-hour time frame only. And here you can see the price is coming closer to our low. So, I have extended our previous low a so that if the price goes down, we get to know about it in a smaller time frame. So now we are back to the 5 minute time frame. Well, if you like the video then examples as I am showing you. You can watch as many videos as you want. Now after us, it is possible that people may start showing it. So now let's wait here for the price to sweep a level. But before that, Because it is giving us the swing high and swing low marked. done? The price has swept our high. So as soon as the price has sweep has not happened yet. When the price comes back inside this range, we will consider it a sweep. Very small candles are being formed right now. Now a slightly bigger candle is made. So here we can assume that yes brother, the sweep has been done here. This we have kept our stop loss and for the target we are again taking 1:2. So our 1:2 will be formed somewhere here. So we have done a 1:2 trade mark. Now let's see what happens next. You can see that the price is hovering around that range. Now when the price is moving around this range, then the Because if the move comes, it should come from here immediately. But it seems that the price is trying to create another range. Like if I show you here, the price has made a high again here. If my stop loss had been a little lower, placed the stop loss exactly at this high. If I had not left margin, my stop loss would have been hit right here. That 's why I always leave margin. Well, another high has been created here. also and then move downwards. in the 4 hour time frame. So there are chances of the price coming down. But the price may come down only after hitting my stop loss. But look, we should follow our own rules. Stop loss should not change that much. And anyway I have left some margin. But I am afraid that the price may come down after touching our level. So here you can see that I said come down after touching our level. You can see that the price has come down only after touching our level. I did not look at the charts again and again and I may not have memorized everything because I am playing the charts in front of you. So you see, this is what the range becomes. Well, you can see here that our stop loss would have been hit and after our stop loss is hit, you can see here that this new high has been made, now the price starts coming down from here. So now let's see what happens. Here you can see that the price is actually moving after hitting our stop loss. So it would have been better if I had left a little more margin. But even here this trade was not turning out well. If I were actually in this trade, I would have left it earlier because the price here is moving around our range. another move from here. Well, we assumed that our stop loss was hit in this and see, this is trading, not every strategy will work every time. We have to accept this and move on. So now let's come back to the fractal we have marked. Now when we marked the fractal, you can see our high. Hi, ours has arrived here. So this is our next high and our low has also reached here. So we have marked low as well as high. I extend our high a little further so that we can easily see it in a smaller time frame. Now let us come back to the 5 minute time frame which is our smaller time frame and after coming here we remove the fracs. It will confuse you unnecessarily. So now after this we wait for the price to sweep a level. swept our high. The high I made last time. So what do we do now? As soon as the price sweeps this high, then in the next candle, because this sweep, you can see that it is not a very small candle. Price has gone up well before. Then after small candles, the price also came down due to a big candle. So this one seems a little okay to me. So what can we do here? In this candle, you can short the candle that will be formed after this. place our stop loss and again take 1:2 for the target. So this is making our 1:2 what happens here. You can see that the price came exactly close to our target and started moving up from here. Meaning our target would have been hit here too. Now after this let us look at another example so that you get enough examples here. strategy I tell you, you should back test it yourself. Look, we have not necessary that we are using the same strategy every time. We tell you many strategies so that you keep getting ideas and can also test them yourself.

And if suppose you do not even know the basics of trading want to learn trading from basic to advanced, then you can go to the playlist section of our channel and watch this playlist. Here we have And if you want to learn advanced trading, then another playlist of 10 videos has been created for this. Everything is available for free. Whatever you get in paid courses, I am is an opportunity for you to learn trading for free. So don't miss this at all and make sure to make notes while learning. It's not like you watched it on Netflix. You will understand things only if you make notes. So let's look at one last example. you can see the market is currently running, I have not opened the replay. I will you get complete clarity. So right now you can see the time frame is 4 hours. We turned on the fractal from here and as soon as we turned on the fractal, we can see that our high is almost formed here. So this is our high and after this our low is what you can see that it is formed here. So here we have to mark our range in this way. in a short time frame. Have come on a small time frame. After coming, we have to close the fractal from here. Now after this, see, we have a range and So here you can see that the price is moving around our high. So suppose after this you see that the price goes above this high and gives closing below it again. So what will you do here? You will take your short position here. Your stop loss will be slightly above this high Your stop loss will be slightly above this high and you will keep the target at 1:2 [Music] and suppose in this case it happens that the price, while moving from here, comes below this range which was our range. You can see here this is our low range. The price comes below this and after coming down, if you So what do you do if this means the bottom sweeps ? You will take your long position here. Your stop loss will be slightly below this low and for the target you will again take 1:2. So this is how you can plan your trade here. But one thing to keep in mind is that whenever there is a sweep, it would be better if it happens with slightly stronger candles. If very small candles are being formed, Doji candles are being formed, then the chances of that sweep being valid are less. Sometimes the price becomes a little high. She sweeps it and then goes down. Therefore, definitely take care of this thing. So I hope liked the video, please like the video and subscribe to the channel. The given in the description.
