So guys, you don't think it's really necessary and useful to use indicators for scalping, right?

I don’t use any indicator or EA to scalp. I would rather stick to my Price Action trading as I don’t know what algorithm they used, how good they were and lot more.
I think scalper should more focused on their Broker. Low spread, lower the slippage is much better during news. You really should find if your broker allows scalping before creating account. My broker (Hanseatic Broker) has no problem with scalping.

Binary options demo is actually a good learning tool for scalping, most indicators are to slow and false signals, although BB can help somewhat , L2 and DMA is a bonus.

Some scalpers use just pure price action without any indicators. So that is one possibility.

MA and basic PA does it for me. My broker also gives me spreads which are as low as 0.8 pips.

Meditate and pray for scalping.

Do it at your own risk.

Scalping is risky. You need super low spreads from your broker to make it work

Very low spreads, instant order execution, no requotes, etc.etc. The conditions have to be right or you'll just lose money.

If you want to make money scalping the markets with HFT (high frequency trading), then you most certainly are going to want a fully automated system. My suggestion is to build a custom solution tailored to your own specific needs. There is no single indicator alone which will work for you, it also requires a good deal of experience, and a solid trading strategy.


If it looks too good to be true, it's probably a scam! Let the buyer beware.

Some of the most commonly used forex indicators for scalping are the simple moving average (SMA) and the exponential moving average (EMA). These can be used to represent short-term variance in price trends of a currency.

Moving average is best in my opinion, for all kinds of trading strategies.

Every one has his own favourite indicators. It's about what you understand the most. I can't choose an indicator just because one of my friends doing well with it. I have to understand the indicator.
