Summary

Our futures scalping strategy is a high-frequency intraday approach focused on the Micro Nasdaq 100 Futures (/MNQ). It targets short-term volatility during high-liquidity sessions, particularly around the U.S. market open and close. The strategy uses a multi-timeframe analysis, aligning higher-timeframe trend bias (1H and 15M) with lower-timeframe execution (1M and 5M). Core indicators include EMA 9/20 crossovers, VWAP, Bollinger Bands, ATR, and volume profile. It integrates ICT Smart Money Concepts, such as Break of Structure, Market Structure Shifts, Fair Value Gaps, Order Blocks, and Kill Zones, to identify institutional trade setups. Entries are only taken when a strict six-step confluence checklist is met. Risk management is built around tight stops, 2:1 or better reward-to-risk setups, and volatility-adjusted position sizing. The strategy is designed to be fast, efficient, and capital-preserving, with all trade decisions supported by data feeds and automated logs through Thinkorswim, RTD, and Querri.
