- Wait for a blue arrow from the Elite PRO Scalper indicator.

Case Study 1
On EURUSD M1 during the London session the Super Trend line was green.
A blue arrow appeared from the Elite PRO Scalper indicator.
A buy trade was opened at 1.10520. The stop loss was placed at 1.10505.
Price moved up to 1.10540 and the trade closed with a 20 pip profit.
No opposite signal appeared during the move.
Case Study 2
On GBPUSD M5 during the New York session the Super Trend line changed to red.
A red arrow appeared confirming a bearish signal.
A sell trade was entered at 1.32250 with a stop loss at 1.32270.
Price continued downward and reached 1.32090 for a profit of 16 pips.
The trade reached the target before any reversal signal appeared.
Strategy Tips
- Wait for candles to close before acting on any arrow signal to avoid early false entries.
- Use a session timer or mark session opens on your chart because most profitable moves happen shortly after London and New York open.
- Focus on pairs with stable movement patterns. EURUSD and USDJPY tend to produce cleaner scalping signals than cross pairs during calm periods.
- Only trade when spreads are tight. A large spread can completely remove the profit potential of small scalping targets.
- Use a fixed lot size during scalping to maintain consistency since trades happen frequently.
- Track your best trading hours. Many scalpers perform better during specific windows of time due to market rhythm.
- Close trades manually if price stalls for too long. Momentum is important for scalping and slow movement often leads to reversals.
