Conservative scalping income
This fully automated scalping strategy aims for an 10-12% annual return using LONG positions only (i.e. no SHORTs), with 2 to 1 number of winning trades and 1.5 to 1 avg win amount vs avg loss amount. It should generally make from zero to four trades per day depending on market conditions. It should remain in a position for roughly an hour. It leverages numerous indicators, including multiple moving averages, ADX, and MACD.
Note that this strategy does not try to time tops and bottoms. Rather it waits to clearly identify a trend, and then rides that trend for a short while making a defined profit. Thus it may enter and exit a trade under profitable conditions, but not at the most profitable conditions possible. It gets in when it's sure of the trend, and then generally leaves that trend as soon as a defined profit is made or before a meaningful loss is incurred.
This strategy will work well with any index (e.g. SPY) and most stocks. It works best on a five minute time interval and when the index or stock is either generally increasing over time or bouncing back and forth between a medium to wide range.
