MT4 Scalping Strategy: Forex Vector + Tunnel MA
This strategy combines the Forex Vector Indicator with the Tunnel MA Indicator to provide high-probability intraday trading signals.
The Forex Vector Indicator gives clear arrows on the chart: green arrows indicate bullish setups and red arrows indicate bearish setups.
The Tunnel MA Indicator adds trend confirmation: when candlesticks are above the Tunnel MA, the market is bullish; when candlesticks are below, the market is bearish.
Using both indicators together allows traders to filter out weak signals and scalp fast-moving pairs on 1-minute, 5-minute, or 15-minute charts.
Buy Entry Rules
- A green arrow appears on the Forex Vector Indicator chart.
- The candlestick is above the Tunnel MA line, confirming a bullish trend.
- Enter a buy trade at the close of the confirming candle.
- Place a stop loss a few pips below the recent swing low or below the Tunnel MA.
- Set take profit at the next minor resistance level or use a fixed pip target (e.g., 12–20 pips for scalping).
