⚡ Scalp Pivots: Trading at the Speed of Light

Standard indicators are too slow for scalpers. By the time a Moving Average crosses, the 5-pip move is already over.

Scalpers need Instant Reaction Levels. RelicusRoad Pro’s Scalp Pivots are designed for the M1 and M5 charts. They ignore the “Daily” noise and focus entirely on the “Now.”

Scalp Pivots create a ‘Ladder’ for price to climb. Buy the bottom rung, sell the top rung.

The Scalp Pivot Color Code

🔵 Ultra-Fast Pivots (Blue)

“The Noise Filter”

  • Relevance: 1-5 Minutes.
  • Use: These lines appear frequently. They mark the immediate boundaries of the current M1 candle cluster.
  • Strategy: Breakout scalping. If price snaps a Blue line, it usually runs 3-5 pips instantly.

🟢 Fast Pivots (Green)

“The Session Structure”

  • Relevance: 5-15 Minutes.
  • Use: These marks the “Mini-Swing” highs and lows.
  • Strategy: Retracement scalping. Wait for price to pull back to a Green line and bounce.

🟡 Resistance/Support (Yellow)

“The Brick Wall”

  • Relevance: 15-30 Minutes.
  • Use: Major intraday walls.
  • Strategy: Reversal scalping. Fade the move here.

Strategy 1: The “Ladder Climb” (Trend)

Scalping with the flow.

  1. Trend: M5 trend is Up (Super Trend Green).
  2. Action: Price breaks above a Blue Pivot.
  3. Entry: Buy immediately (Market Execution).
  4. Target: The next Blue or Green Pivot above.
  5. Stop: Just below the broken pivot. Why it works: Momentum is carrying price up the ladder. You are just hopping on for one rung.

Strategy 2: The “Ping Pong” (Range)

Scalping the chop (Asian Session or Lunch).

  1. Trend: Flat/Sideways.
  2. Setup: Price hits a Green Pivot (Top) and prints a red candle.
  3. Trade: Sell.
  4. Target: The Green Pivot at the bottom.
  5. Reverse: Buy the bottom pivot. Why it works: In low volatility, algorithms are programmed to mean-revert between these short-term bands.

The “Spread” Killer

You cannot scalp effectively if your broker charges 2 pips spread.

  • Target: 5 Pips.
  • Spread: 2 Pips.
  • Real Profit: 3 Pips. (You lost 40% to fees).

Rule: Only trade Scalp Pivots on ECN Brokers (like IC Markets) with 0.0-0.2 spreads.

Conclusion

Scalp Pivots are for adrenaline junkies. They require focus, speed, and low costs. But if you master them, they offer the most consistent daily cash flow of any strategy.
