Extreme RSI Signals + Magic Trend MT4 Scalping Strategy
This MT4 scalping method focuses on catching short, fast intraday moves by combining precise signal timing with a clear trend filter.
The Extreme RSI Signals Indicator provides instant entry signals using a blue arrow for a buy setup and a red arrow for a sell setup.
The Magic Trend Indicator acts as the trend guide. A green line shows a buy trend, while a red line shows a sell trend.
Because signals appear quickly and trends can shift fast on lower time frames, this strategy works best on M1, M5, and M15.
The goal is to only take signals in the direction of the trend to avoid noise, late reversals, and counter-trend traps.

- A blue arrow from the Extreme RSI Signals Indicator must appear.

Case Study 1
On EURUSD M5, the Magic Trend line turned green after a short consolidation.
Two candles later, a blue arrow appeared from the Extreme RSI Signals Indicator.
The buy entry triggered cleanly, and the price pushed upward for a fast 12 pip move before reaching a small resistance area.
The position was closed at that resistance level for a straightforward scalp.
The trend confirmation made the entry smooth with little drawdown.
Case Study 2
On GBPUSD M1 during the London session, the Magic Trend line shifted to red after a sharp rejection near a round number.
Shortly after, a red arrow from the Extreme RSI Signals Indicator appeared on the chart.
The next candle moved strongly lower, and the price headed straight toward the nearest support zone.
The trade reached the take profit level for an easy 8 pip scalp.
The setup worked well because both trend direction and signal timing were perfectly aligned.
Strategy Tips
- Avoid taking trades when the Magic Trend line flips color too frequently.
- If an arrow appears directly into a resistance or support zone, wait for a better setup.
- Use pairs with tight spreads to avoid slippage on fast entries.
- Keep trade duration short because this strategy is designed for quick exits.
- Confirm that candle bodies are moving in the same direction as the trend line before entering.
- Mark major levels from higher time frames because scalping moves often react at those points.
