Why Bitcoin Scalping Works

Scalping targets small moves with repeatable confluence. You compound faster by staying mechanical: fixed invalidation, fixed RR, and session-based timing. The sheet helps you enforce rules so speed doesn’t turn into chaos.

Inside the Scalping Cheat Sheet

• 🎯 Entry checklist: structure break, liquidity sweep, trigger candle, session filter
• 🛡️ Risk framework: fixed % risk, SL logic by structure/ATR, partials at TP1/TP2
• 📊 RR discipline: minimum 1:2; when to skip sub-par RR even if signal looks “good”
• 🧾 Journaling template: pre/post trade notes for rapid feedback loops

Example: Micro Position Sizing

Account €2,000 · Risk 1% = €20 · SL = 50 dollars on BTC (per contract equivalent). To keep RR ≥ 1:2, target €40 profit at TP1. Sheet includes step-by-step lot/size math for common brokers.

Session & Timing Rules (1–5M)

• Trade windows: last 30m pre-London → first 120m London; last 30m pre-NY → first 120m NY.
• Avoid: 5–10m around major news; lunch hours; choppy overlapping EMAs with low volume.
• Spread/fees filter: skip if spread > 30% of SL size.

Common Mistakes (and Fixes)

• Chasing after impulse: wait for retrace to prior level or trigger candle.
• Moving SL “just this once”: never. Reduce size instead; keep invalidation sacred.
• Overtrading: daily cap = 2 losses or 3 wins, then stop.
