This video presents a scalping strategy for the 1-minute timeframe, combining Fibonacci retracements with a paid indicator called Happy Trail to improve entry timing. It emphasizes trading during high-volume sessions (London and New York, 10am-2pm) and provides specific rules for risk management and trade execution.
The strategy is for scalping on the 1-minute timeframe during high-volume periods (London or New York session, 10am-2pm). It only works in trending markets.
Enter a short position between the 0.5 and 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels, with stop loss above the previous high and take profit at the previous low, yielding approximately 1:1 risk-to-reward.
The Happy Trail indicator provides a specific candle for entry, trailing momentum. Use stop loss above the previous structure and aim for a 1:1.5 risk-to-reward ratio.
If you lose a trade, stop trading for the day as the trend is likely broken.
Trade London session from 10am to 2pm London time, and New York session from 10am to 2pm Eastern Standard Time.
The key to this strategy is strict adherence to high-volume windows and the one-loss rule. The Happy Trail indicator can boost entry confidence, but the core principles of Fibonacci retracements and risk management remain essential.

London session: 10am to 2pm London time; New York session: 10am to 2pm EST.

02:56[00:00] If you're scalping on the one minute time frame and you're using Fibonacci retracements for your entries, I have an incredibly valuable tool that is going to give you the specific candle that you want to enter on for the best possible results. This strategy is not for everyone. If you are
[00:15] not comfortable with the one minute time frame, please do not trade this strategy. Okay? There are specifics to this strategy that you need to keep in mind and you are limited to the time where this strategy actually works. I want peak market volume and high trading times. So London
[00:33] session and New York session right in the middle of the range, there is a lot of volume that goes into effect. That's when you're going to start seeing price move in a specific direction. So
[00:45] you want trending markets. That's the only way that Fibonacci retracements are going to work. So, as you can see right here, we have a momentum down, a pullback, momentum down, a pullback, momentum down. Every single one of these pullbacks is going to be a Fibonacci retracement. And a lot
[01:03] of people aren't comfortable actually getting into a trade. They want a specific candle for their entry. It's like this analysis paralysis or hesitation that keeps you out of the trade when you know it would have played out. If you want the quick and dirty way, just enter in a
[01:18] short position around the gold zone between the 0.5 and the 618. I want your stop loss to be the previous high and your takerit to be the previous low. That's going to give you just over a 1:1 risk-to-reward ratio. And every time price breaks previous structure and starts pulling back,
[01:36] I want you to put a new Fibonacci retracement tool. And again, this is what your trade setup is going to look like. But like I said, so many people struggle with the analysis paralysis and actually getting into the trade. So what is a way to give you more confidence in your trade
[01:50] entries at a specific candle? What I want you to do is try the happy trail indicator. It is a paid indicator. It's called happy trail because it's all about trailing the momentum. Momentum trailing
[02:02] with Fibonacci retracements is a really, really solid strategy. And the best part is all you have to look at is your previous structure for your stop-loss. So, for this trade, instead of entering in like we did, we simply go to the previous high point, which is this candle right here,
[02:18] and you shoot for a 1: 1.5 risk-to-reward ratio. You get your candle entry, your stop-loss above the previous structure with a 1:1.5 risk-to-reward ratio. And you're going to keep doing this,
[02:30] drawing your Fibonacci retracement tools on the price structure. And once you get a happy trail signal with a very tight stop-loss and a 1 to 1.5 risk-to-reward ratio and you lose a trade,
[02:43] you're done for the day. That means that trend is over. Market structure has been broken. Your downtrend is null and void. So if London market opens up at 9:00 a.m. London time,
[02:56] I want you to trade between 10 and 2:00 p.m. That gives you a 4hour window. That is high volume. If you are trading New York session, I want you to trade between 10 and 2 PM New York time,
[03:09] Eastern Standard Time. These are the windows where you're going to get the most volume and the highest probability of having the market structure where price is trending up or price is trending down. Now, Happy Trail is a paid indicator that we created at the trading floor.
