of the central banks. You will therefore need to always be updated on financial news, and
to look at

Currencies fluctuate, while indices and stocks obviously follow trends. Indices are
composed of companies that need to earn, the currencies must instead represent
the economy, the import-export of a country, and therefore they can fluctuate more than follow
a trend.
This makes the Forex market much more predictable compared to that of
stocks or indices. However, if you do not have the ability to trade, there are tricks such as
that of Copytrading, which allows you to replicate the trades of professionals in the markets.
THE FINANCIAL LEVERAGE
Leverage is a very important tool in online trading; its characteristic is
to give the trader the ability to trade a larger amount in exchange for a deposit
smaller, thus increasing the purchasing power of the trader.
The leverage presented in the form of a ratio: 1:100, for example, means that your
purchasing power has increased by 100 times.
The trader who deposits 1000 euros into their trading account, with a leverage of 1:100, can trade
up to 100,000 euros. High leverage essentially offers traders opportunities
that otherwise they would not have.
Small investors with limited capital can leverage financial leverage to
maximize profits. However, while profits can be maximized on one side, the same
it also happens with losses. Leverage must be managed carefully and should not

Technical analysis focuses on studying price dynamics; it is proven that history

Thanks to technical analysis, this can be possible.
What is technical analysis?
Technical analysis is one of the tools that investors use to try to predict the
fluctuations in currency prices.
Technical analysis offers investors various opportunities. For example, it includes analysis.

moves in a predictable manner, based on precise patterns.
Technical analysis is focused on reading patterns in charts and is based on the assumption that the

exclusively on price charts.
Specific patterns are sought, such as the well-known Head & Shoulders inversion figures.

like support and resistance lines, channels and other more complex formations such as flags
the pennant.
The Double Maximum and the Double Minimum are two ways of reading a graph.
The double bottom takes the shape of the letter W and, according to the theory, the currency will not drop to
below the two lowest points of the W.
With the double bottom, the price level is identified beyond which the currency will not fall.
It will further rise again once the support level is reached. The double top
represents what is defined as the resistance level, or the limit beyond which the currency
It should not rise.
The double top is the inverse figure of the double bottom and in fact takes the shape of the letter
M.
Once the price line forms the W, investors typically buy, while
when the currency forms an M, investors sell.
Why does technical analysis work? If a sufficient number of people draw the same line on
graph, if a sufficient number of people focus on the same level of support, then
a reaction will occur when that support level is reached. So we could

Use simple moving averages
One of the technical tools most widely used by investors is the Moving Average.
Simple (Simple Moving Average). The moving average is commonly used for

The moving average can therefore show if the current price is above the average for a
determined period of days.
2 Simple moving averages shown on a candlestick chart
How is a simple moving average calculated?
It is enough to add a certain number of closing prices and then divide the sum by
what number. If done on a regular basis, a simple moving average will develop, which
it can be used to generate Buy or Sell signals. The price crosses and exceeds
that of the simple moving average - Buy signal
A buy signal is generated when the price line crosses and surpasses the line of

It is good to use two or three simple moving averages with different periods on the same chart. The
Investors typically use moving averages of 20, 50, and 200 days.
In fact, a Buy signal is generated even when the line of a simple moving average at
a short-term average crosses upwards another long-term moving average. In this case, we are talking about
of the golden cross (Golden Cross).
Finally, it is also possible to look at the direction of the moving average: if it is going upwards.

The most positive aspect of moving averages is that they never create interpretation problems.
In fact, the price line is always either above or below the moving average, and this
It is undeniable. Investors often use simple moving averages in combination with
the momentum indicator to determine when to buy or sell currency pairs.
Identify trend changes (Fibonacci)
One of the most common technical indicators used in online trading to identify future
market trends is called Fibonacci Retracement. It is a principle based on a
infinite sequence of numbers discovered in the 13th century by the Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci.
In practice, you start with two numbers, like one and two, which are added together to obtain the third.
numero della sequenza e così via.
One of the most interesting features of this number sequence is that each number is
approximately 1.618 times larger than the previous number. This relationship that links
each number in the series represents the base levels used in the retracement models.
In technical analysis, Fibonacci retracement is generated by taking two extreme points on a
graph (a minimum and an absolute maximum) and dividing them from top to bottom for the
Fibonacci percentages, namely 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 100%.
Once these levels are identified, horizontal lines are drawn to identify possible
support and resistance levels. According to
investors who follow this method, large price movements tend to revert
back or reverse to one of the Fibonacci retracement levels.
The Fibonacci level of 61.8% - also called the 'golden ratio'
It is calculated by dividing a number in the sequence by the immediately following number.
For example: 21/34 = 0.6176.
The level 38.2% is obtained by dividing a number in the sequence by the second number that it
for example: 55/144 = 0.3819.
The level 23.6% is obtained by dividing a number in the sequence by the third number that follows it.
For example: 13/55 = 0.2363.
The price tends to retrace to the levels from 38.2% to 61.8% of the previous movement before

How to use support and resistance
Many scalping strategies are based on the use of supports and resistances, these are tools that
they are very effective for many different types of trading, from very short-term to the
long term.
Since what you want to do is scalping, a type of trading we have already extensively discussed.
As mentioned earlier, you should know that you are about to engage in short-term and very short-term trading.
With the help of supports and resistances, it is possible to operate well even when one wants to open and
close positions very quickly.
Support and resistance are very versatile tools and, among other things, they are found repeatedly.
in tutto il trading. Non vi sono traders che non conoscono un simile strumento di analisi perché
it is the classic tool that absolutely cannot be missing from your 'collection', so to speak, the
classic must-have of online trading.
Support and resistance can be used on any time frame, it is about
simple horizontal lines that are drawn at certain price levels, but these levels
they are so important that witnessing their violation generates very significant trading signals

supports and resistances:

increase. It just happens that this certain level manages to 'withstand' numerous attacks from
buyers without being overwhelmed. The more times this level is attacked without
being surpassed, takes on great importance in the eyes of investors.
Support: support is the exact opposite of resistance, that is, it is a price level of
price that the market cannot surpass but is decreasing. This means that as much as we
Sellers tenaciously try, they never have enough strength to break the
support and bring the price down. Similarly, the greater the number of attacks to which
The more a support resists, the greater its reliability.
This scalping strategy is therefore relatively very simple because it does not rely on
classic technical indicators that sometimes require small mathematical calculations to be
exploited. Here, to start earning, it is enough to be able to identify the support levels and
resistance, draw the horizontal lines on the graph and wait for the right moment to enter
to enter the market and exit a few seconds later with a profit.
Signals provided by support and resistance levels
Identifying supports and resistances on the chart is the first thing to do to use the strategy,
It is much easier than you might think. However, always remember to set a time.

frames much longer than this, otherwise we would already slip into medium-term trading. Your
The goal is to take advantage of very short-term trends.
In the case of a resistance, it is sufficient to join at least 2 or more candles (if you are using
the Japanese candlestick chart) or two bars (if you are obviously using the bar chart) with
a horizontal line where possible. It is clear that the two candles in question must not

In the case of a support, you need to do the same thing in reverse, that is, you have to
go to connect with a horizontal line the minima that are on the same line, also here
if you realize that a new candle or bar has already formed that does not respect your line
horizontally you cannot rely on that price level for investment.
Now to do scalping with supports and resistances you just have to wait for a valid signal of
trading. The signals for this type of strategy are obtained when a level of
support or resistance is broken.
Ciò significa che nel caso di un supporto interviene una candela ribassista (ovvero di colore
red) which closes well below the previous support level, it is clear that it is
a break has occurred, which you must take advantage of by opening a short position.
In the event that a bullish candle (green in color) breaks a level
at resistance, one should instead open a long position, but the advice is always to
wait for the first bullish candle after the breakout to close before entering the market.
At this point, it would be a good idea to consider adding stop loss orders, a good
the method is to set it just above the support level or just below the level of
resistance depending on the cases.
Typically, the stop loss could be set at the opening price of the candle that has
violated the support or resistance level. The stop loss is essential in scalping because it you

the fact that it is such a fast technique for earning requires slightly different strategies than
normal and some major precautions.
How to use the scalping strategy with the RSI indicator
This strategy is simpler than you think and now we want to show you, let's see
how it works by explaining the concepts in the simplest way possible.
The term RSI is an acronym for relative strength index. This indicator is used by traders of
every order and degree precisely because it is very easy to use and is perfect for trading in
very fast way for scalping.
The RSI oscillator is used to establish the change of a
price, to measure it and therefore understand if your currency pair or commodity or index is situated
in a state of "overbought" or "oversold". If all these words sound like Arabic to you, then
don't worry because in a moment everything will become clear and crystal clear like the cleanest sea that
you can imagine.
The RSI oscillator and its functioning
In practice, this indicator of the relative strength of the price is a useful tool for the study of
graphs similar to stochastic. If you want to insert it into your price chart, you can notice that its
the standard value is set to 14 periods, but it can be changed according to your preferences as well.

If what we have said so far seems complicated to you, you just need to know that the RSI oscillator
it's nothing more than a line, very similar to a moving average that is placed below the
your price graph oscillates between two values: 0 and 100. Between these two values, it is possible to indicate
two particularly significant areas that you must always keep under close control, the area
above the value of 70 and below the value of 30.
But why are these two areas so important for obtaining
results using this strategy?
Here we come to the point because it is the key concept of this strategy. In fact,
the RSI is below the value of 30 the stock or asset you want to trade is in
oversold phase, while when it is above 30 you find yourself in an overbought phase.
As you may know, reversals and corrections in price are extremely important in trading and
very often they represent the only if not the most important opportunities to place a
investment.
Here is why one must pay attention to overbought and oversold: when the

because they can offer very reliable signals that lead to successful operations in
most cases.
In the chart, you can see 2 examples of divergences related to the RSI oscillator.
In the first case, we have a price increase and an RSI in a downward phase, which indicates that
a bearish reversal could briefly occur, which we can actually find in the chart.
In the second case, however, we can observe the opposite scenario, namely, a decrease in
price and an RSI in bullish phase, here too the same rule applies and therefore the price little

Trading signals with the scalping strategy using RSI
Now that you understand how the RSI indicator works, let's go into more detail to understand.
how to use the indicator for scalping.
First of all, it is necessary to select an appropriate chart time frame.
It is obvious that if you intend to do scalping, the time frame must be very narrow and it should not
in no case exceed 15 minutes.
Remember that with scalping, and operating at such low time frames, your operation does not

Some executions remain open for only a few seconds, up to a maximum of 4-5 minutes.
only rarely more, also because it is very difficult that on such restricted time frames the new
trends last a long time.
Long market entry: a bullish position can be opened when the market is in the phase of
overbought and therefore below the threshold limit of 30 this indicates that the market is not
strong enough to continue its downward direction and a trend reversal for
this is imminent and will be bullish.
Opening a short market entry: you can instead profit by opening a short position when the
the market is in a state of overbought so you will notice that the RSI line moves too much to the
