Scalping Strategy M1 / M5 with Macd and Stochastic
If you prefer trading with minimum risk and short deadlines, here is a simple scalping strategy suitable even for the less experienced, the Macd + Stochastic turbo strategy.
You probably already use an indicator, perhaps one popular among traders such as the Macd or the Stochastic. Why not use two of them together to improve results? Maybe adjusted for M1 or M5 time frames, that is, for the very common short-term scalping.
Here is the strategy we have prepared for you. You can use it with the help of any 1 minute or 5 minute chart , and any currency pair .
The strategy uses the two indicators already present as standard on most platforms, so to get started you just need a good demo for testing that already has the two indicators available. Otherwise you can rely on the good old metatrader.
