Real Cloud + Elite Pro Scalper MT4 Scalping Strategy
This scalping strategy combines the trend cloud signals from the Real Cloud Forex Trend Indicator with entry arrows from the Elite Pro Scalper Indicator.
The Real Cloud paints a blue cloud for a bullish trend and a magenta cloud for a bearish trend.
The Elite Pro Scalper issues blue arrows for buy entries and red arrows for sell entries. The idea is to trade only when both the cloud direction and the arrow signal align.
Use this strategy on short timeframes (such as M5 or M15) during active market hours to catch fast intraday moves.
It works well on pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and AUD/JPY, where volatility is sufficient to support small scalping profits.
Buy Entry Rules
- Ensure the Real Cloud is blue (bullish trend environment).
- Wait for a blue arrow from the Elite Pro Scalper.
- Enter a buy trade at the close of the candle showing the blue arrow, if the cloud remains blue.
- Set a stop loss a few pips below the recent swing low or under the lower boundary of the cloud.
- Set a take profit in the range of 15–25 pips, or exit early if a red arrow appears or the cloud flips to magenta.
Sell Entry Rules
- Ensure the Real Cloud is magenta (bearish trend environment).
- Wait for a red arrow from the Elite Pro Scalper.
- Enter a sell trade at the close of the candle with the red arrow, if the cloud remains magenta.
- Place a stop loss a few pips above the recent swing high or above the upper boundary of the cloud.
- Take profit in the 15–25 pip range, or exit early if a blue arrow appears or the cloud turns blue.
Advantages
- Trend filter from the cloud helps avoid counter‑trend entries.
- Arrow signals give clear timing for entries, reducing hesitation.
- Works well for fast in‑and‑out trades in active sessions.
- Suitable for multiple currency pairs, especially those with good intraday volatility.
- Easy to interpret visually — cloud + arrow alignment makes decisions straightforward.
Drawbacks
- Cloud may lag at trend reversals, causing late or suboptimal entries.
- Arrows can trigger during minor pullbacks inside the trend, leading to early stop-outs.
- Small pip targets open you to spread and slippage risk, impacting profitability.
- Requires constant attention, as missed arrows or cloud flips can invalidate setups quickly.
Example Case Study 1 – GBP/USD
On the 5‑minute chart during the London session, the Real Cloud turned blue at 1.2980.
Shortly after, the Elite Pro Scalper showed a blue arrow at 1.2982.
A buy trade was entered at 1.2983 with a stop loss at 1.2975 and a take profit at 1.3005.
The trend continued upward, and the trade closed near the target with +22 pips.
Example Case Study 2 – AUD/JPY
During the Asian to London overlap, the Real Cloud shifted to magenta around 93.50.
The Elite Pro Scalper then displayed a red arrow at 93.48.
A sell was placed at 93.47, stop loss set at 93.60, and take profit at 93.25.
The price moved down steadily and hit the target after about 30 minutes for +22 pips.
Strategy Tips
- Only enter trades when the arrow and cloud direction match — avoid entries against cloud color.
- Stick to active sessions—London and early New York generally give the best results.
- Use tight stop losses relative to the time frame and pair volatility to control risk.
- If the trade moves favorably by half the target, consider trailing the stop to lock in profits.
- Limit the number of trades per session to avoid fatigue and overtrading—focus on the strongest signals.
- Watch for early signs of trend exhaustion — a small arrow reversal before hitting TP might warrant early exit.
- Ensure your spread is low and consistent for scalping; high spreads may negate the edge on some pairs.
