# ATR-Powered Scalping Strategy (with SmartMA MT5)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Concept:**
|
||
|
|
Scalp only during “real” volatility spikes—filtered by SmartMA MT5 and its built-in ATR logic—
|
||
|
|
to avoid dead market phases and false moves.
|
||

|
|
## Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Timeframe:** 1 minute (M1) or 5 minutes (M5)
|
||
|
|
- **Asset:** EURUSD, USDJPY, or any highly liquid pair
|
||
|
|
- **Indicator:** SmartMA MT5 (with default or slightly faster settings, e.g., MA_Period = 12, ATR_Period = 8)
|
||
|

## Entry Rules
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. **Volatility Spike:**
|
||
|
|
- Only look for trades if SmartMA regime = “Trend”
|
||
|
|
- The risk band (±ATR) must widen significantly (e.g., ATR > 1.5x its rolling average over last 30 bars)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. **Breakout Confirmation:**
|
||
|
|
- Price closes above (long) or below (short) the last small range/consolidation
|
||
|
|
- SmartMA not frozen (no major news)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. **Session Filter:**
|
||
|
|
- Prefer trades in London or New York session (SmartMA shows session in chart comment)
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
## Stop Loss & Take Profit
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Stop Loss:**
|
||
|
|
1.2 x SmartATR (on entry bar)
|
||
|
|
- **Take Profit:**
|
||
|
|
Fixed: 2 x stop distance, or
|
||
|
|
Dynamic: use trailing stop just behind SmartMA or ATR band
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
## Example Pseudocode
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If (SmartMA.regime == "Trend") AND
|
||
|
|
(SmartATR > 1.5 * rolling_avg_ATR) AND
|
||
|
|
(session == "London" OR session == "NewYork") AND
|
||
|
|
(NOT frozen due to news):
|
||
|
|
If (price breaks out of range):
|
||
|
|
Enter trade in breakout direction
|
||
|
|
SL = Entry -/+ 1.2 * SmartATR
|
||
|
|
TP = Entry -/+ 2.0 * SmartATR
|
||
|
|

## Why This Works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Filters for real momentum—no more scalping in “dead” phases!
|
||
|
|
- Adapts to market speed and session context via SmartMA’s overlays and info
|
||
|
|
- Avoids whipsaws around news (SmartMA “frozen” or “smoothed” during high risk)

**Pro tip:**
|
||
|
|
Adjust ATR/MA parameters to fit your asset and spread.
|
||
|
|
Backtest in real market conditions and refine your entry filter.
