1. Scalping Strategy
Scalping involves taking advantage of small price movements and typically requires
a strict exit strategy to prevent losses from eroding small profits. Here’s a basic
framework:
Components:
Indicators: Use fast-moving averages (e.g., 5-period and 20-period EMA), RSI
(Relative Strength Index), and volume indicators.
Entry Signal: Look for EMA crossovers combined with RSI signals (e.g., RSI
crossing above 30 for buys, below 70 for sells).

Exit Strategy: Set very tight stop losses (e.g., 1-2 pips) and take profits quickly
(e.g., 2-5 pips).
Volume Confirmation: Ensure there is adequate volume to confirm the move.
This strategy involves understanding the underlying order flow and volume
distribution to identify potential turning points.
Components:
Volume Profile: Identify high volume nodes (HVNs) and low volume nodes
(LVNs) on a 1-minute chart.
Order Flow Analysis: Use tools to analyze the real-time order flow and
footprint charts.
Entry Signal: Enter trades near the LVNs with confirmation from order flow
(e.g., seeing a shift in order flow towards the opposite direction).
Exit Strategy: Exit near HVNs or predefined risk-reward ratios.
Focusing on pure price action can also be effective in such short time frames.

Important Considerations:
Risk Management: Never risk more than a small percentage of your capital on
any single trade (typically 1-2%).
Discipline: Stick to your strategy and avoid emotional trading.
Market Conditions: Adapt to changing market conditions; what works in one
environment may not work in another.

Technology: Use reliable and fast trading platforms to minimize latency.
1. Setup Indicators:
Buy: When the 5 EMA crosses above the 20 EMA and RSI is above 30.
Sell: When the 5 EMA crosses below the 20 EMA and RSI is below 70.

3. Indicators
Volume Profile: Plots the distribution of traded volume over price levels.
Footprint Charts: Show the distribution of buy and sell orders at each
price level.
Order Flow Indicators: Tools like the Delta Indicator, Cumulative Delta,
and Time & Sales.
Step-by-Step Process
Open a 1-minute chart for your chosen trading instrument (e.g., EUR/USD,
S&P 500 futures).
Add the Volume Profile indicator to your chart. Configure it to display the profile
for the session or specified periods.
Add Footprint Charts if available. Configure them to show buy and sell orders at
each price level.
High Volume Nodes (HVNs): Areas on the volume profile where a significant
amount of trading has occurred. These levels often act as support or
resistance.
Low Volume Nodes (LVNs): Areas with low trading volume. Price tends to
move quickly through these areas.
Order Flow Tools: Use tools like Time & Sales, Delta Indicator, and Footprint
Charts to see real-time buying and selling pressure.
Look for shifts in order flow, such as an increase in buy orders after a
downtrend, which could indicate a reversal.

4/6
Profit Targets: Set profit targets near the next HVN or based on a predefined
risk-reward ratio (e.g., 1:2).
Stop Loss: Place a stop loss just below the entry level for long positions or
above for short positions, using recent price action as a reference.
Enter a long position near an HVN with a stop loss just below the HVN.
Set the profit target at the next significant volume profile level or 2x the risk
distance.
6. Risk Management
Continuously monitor order flow and volume profile during the trade.
Adjust stop losses and profit targets as necessary based on evolving market
conditions.

Conclusion
The Order Flow and Volume Profile Strategy requires a deep understanding of
market mechanics and the ability to interpret real-time data. Using the right tools and
maintaining discipline in execution are critical for success. Always backtest your
strategy and refine it based on historical data before applying it in a live trading
environment.
