MT4 Doda Slow Stochastic and SuperTrend NRP Scalping Strategy
This scalping strategy uses two indicators that complement each other well on fast-moving charts.
The Doda Slow Stochastic indicator gives precise buy and sell shifts by tracking momentum through its green and red line crossovers.
When the green line crosses above the red line, momentum shifts upward, while the opposite crossover shows bearish momentum returning.
The SuperTrend NRP indicator provides the trend direction. A green SuperTrend line shows buy conditions and an orange line shows sell conditions.
By combining these two indicators, the strategy focuses on trading only when direction and momentum are aligned.
This reduces noise and filters out many weak setups that often appear on lower timeframes.
The method works well on M1, M5 and M15 charts, making it suitable for scalpers who prefer quick entries, small stop losses and multiple trades per session.
The rules are clear and easy to follow, which is helpful for traders who want consistency during fast market movements.
Buy Entry Rules
- The SuperTrend NRP turns green, confirming upward trend conditions.
- The green Doda Slow Stochastic line crosses above the red line from below.
- Open a buy trade at the close of the crossover candle or on the next candle.
- Place a stop loss below the nearest minor swing low or a few pips below the SuperTrend line.
- Set take profit at the next intraday resistance or aim for a 1:1 or 1:1.5 reward ratio.
Sell Entry Rules
- The SuperTrend NRP turns orange, showing downward trend conditions.
- The red Doda Slow Stochastic line crosses above the green line from below.
- Open a sell trade at the candle close or on the next candle if price continues lower.
- Place a stop loss above the recent swing high or a few pips above the SuperTrend line.
- Take profit at the next support zone or follow a 1:1 or 1:1.5 reward target.
Advantages
- Simple and fast rules suited for scalpers who want structure in lower timeframes.
- SuperTrend filters out counter-trend signals that often cause losses in scalping.
- Momentum crossovers are easy to read and provide clear entries.
- Good for traders who prefer small stop losses and frequent trades.
- Effective on volatile pairs where momentum shifts quickly.
Drawbacks
- Low volatility sessions can produce weak moves after crossovers.
- Price can whipsaw around the SuperTrend line during news or unexpected volatility bursts.
- Scalping requires fast execution and focus during sessions.
- Frequent entries mean transaction costs can add up on some brokers.
Case Study 1 – Buy Trade
On AUDJPY M5 during the Asian session, price was in a slight upward trend.
The SuperTrend NRP turned green, confirming bullish conditions.
Shortly after, the green Doda Slow Stochastic line crossed above the red line from below.
A buy trade was entered at the close of the crossover candle, with a stop loss 5 pips below the recent swing low.

The take profit was reached at 18 pips, closing the trade smoothly without being stopped out.
Case Study 2 – Sell Trade
On EURCAD M15, the market had just reversed from a resistance level.
The SuperTrend NRP turned orange, signaling a bearish trend.

Strategy Tips
- Only take trades when the SuperTrend and Doda Slow Stochastic signals align. Avoid entering based on just one indicator.
- Focus on active market sessions like London and New York for stronger momentum and cleaner entries.
- Use smaller timeframes (M1, M5) for scalping but always confirm the trend on a higher timeframe (M15 or H1) to avoid false signals.
- Place stop losses carefully just beyond recent swing highs or lows to manage risk effectively.
- Consider scaling out of positions: take partial profit at the first minor support/resistance and let the rest run with a trailing stop.
- Avoid trading during major news releases, as volatility spikes can trigger false crossovers and SuperTrend flips.
