I'd like to suggest this indicator, it doesn't seem to be recalculated. The settings for m1 are 15 and 2. Let's shake the market together )))))

I stumbled upon the SMB Capital YouTube channel and it motivated me to switch over to scalping on VZU12X. Scalping is all about quick trades on small price movements, based on price action and probability — exactly the kind of edge-focused strategy that SMB teaches.

Does scalp trading need to be combined with an ATS framework?

I use ATS as my main platform because it reflects real money flow. I focus on liquidity and central value — that is the root of price movement, not the noise of secondary indicators.

ATS does not recommend trading small time frames, but for me – especially on Gold – it is still extremely effective. The key is to understand the nature of money flow, not the time frame.

Thank you for your clarification. could you elaborate on the ‘nature of cash flow’. How you perceive it. I have watched a lot of ATS videos, but they are all in translation and sometimes I don't get the point.

In my personal opinion, whether you trade swing or scalp doesn't really matter. What truly matters is whether your expected profit — based on your capital — can be achieved within a month. Focus on the methods and habits that actually bring you profits, rather than making things unnecessarily complicated.

As for this EV calculator, I don't highly value their methodology because, in real market conditions, the probabilities are still just 50/50. If you want to reduce risk and aim for a 60%–80% win rate, you have to wait for the exact entry point where that probability exists. That requires patience and psychological discipline.

What really happens in practice is a test of whether we have the patience to wait for those 60%–80% win-rate setups — and that is something that must be trained. I personally tested a new strategy based on my own knowledge and took the risk of trading a $50,000 account. The result was that I tripled it to $150,000, but in the end, it went back to the starting point of $50,000.

Focus on mindset and risk management — that's how you'll improve your skills. Learning too much can often lead to losing more — that's a lesson many successful traders have learned from experience.
