Understanding how scalping works is crucial to surviving the currency trading market. The notion that surrounds forex trading is one that is risky, but scalping simplifies trading and dampens the risks.
I have designed a strategy that is conscious all these risks and can be applied to low spread currency pairs.

About The Trading Indicators
The Detrended_Synthetic_Price_goscillators.ex4 was designed by John Ehlers and has numerous ways in which it can be used.
I deployed the fixed levels (the zero signal level) in using this indicator i.e. above the 0.00 level is bullish, while below that level is seen as bearish.
The DynamicRS_C.ex4 on the other hand is a trend indicator that reveals price change.
When the line of indicator is painted red is denotes a bearish signal, while aqua depicts bullish market sentiment.
The yellow filled line reveals when trend is about changing, hence why we exit at such levels.
