Scalping with pin bars. How can we do it properly?
Here’s a simple yet effective strategy to use pinbars in combination with trend lines to scalp several times a day for 10 pip profits.
Scalping Setup
Indicators: Pinbar
Preferred time frame(s): 1 min
Trading sessions: EURO, US
Preferred Currency pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, NZD/USD, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY, EUR/AUD
I recommend that you focus on just one or two currency pairs initially.
You will have more than enough signals with one or two pairs you select and, as your account and experience grow, you can diversify by including additional pairs.
