Forex Scalping for Beginner Traders

Forex Scalping for Beginners

Trading is a very delicate job. In the forex market there are so many tools you can use in order to make money. By “dimensions” we refer to specific styles of trading that are very diverse.  Those trading dimensions are:

  1. Price Action
  2. Indicator based
  3. Price Action/Indicator combination
  4. Harmonic 
  5. VSA
  6. Range bars/Renko/Any offline chart

Now you know a bit more about different trading dimensions so have in mind that the dimension you choose will define a strategy that you will be using. We have covered all important dimensions with our webinars so feel free to watch it and be informed about it.

Different Time Frames 

Before you start to trade try to think about the time perspective. The time horizon will play a big factor in which time frames are to be chosen. This can range from as low as a 1 minute chart, where the candle is formed every minute, to monthly charts where the candle forms once every month. Remember that each candle lasts for the specified period of time unless you are trading with the range bars which are completely immune to time factor.

In trading terms  anything below an hourly time frame can be considered short-term. Scalping and scalp swings are good examples of trading short term. Hourly and 4 hour time frames are optimal for intra day and intra week swing trading so we can say that anything below a daily time frame can be considered medium-term.

Daily and above time frames can be considered long-term, especially weekly and monthly chart. Trades simply don’t happen often, usually 4-5 time per year. Also, have in mind that 1 minute chart trading strategy can be a bit overwhelming for you if you don’t focus on your charts and you are distracted.
