Trend Trigger & Pips Hunter Forex Scalping Strategy for MT4

This MT4 scalping strategy combines the Trend Trigger Forex Signal Indicator and the Pips Hunter Indicator to catch quick intraday moves.

The Trend Trigger indicator provides trend direction through two colored lines (green for buy, red for sell), while the Pips Hunter confirms precise entry points with light-blue and light-red arrows.

This strategy is designed for short-term scalps of 5–10 pips on M1 or M5 charts, ideal for highly liquid pairs like EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY.

The strategy works by entering trades only when both indicators align: the trend must be confirmed by the Trend Trigger lines, and the Pips Hunter arrow signals the exact entry moment.

This combination reduces false entries and increases the probability of quick, profitable scalps.

Buy Entry Rules

  • Confirm that both Trend Trigger lines are green, indicating a bullish trend.
  • Wait for a light-blue arrow from the Pips Hunter Indicator.
  • Enter a buy trade immediately once the arrow appears while the trend lines remain green.
  • Place a stop loss 3–5 pips below the recent swing low or below the Pips Hunter entry candle.
  • Take profit at 5–10 pips or exit when the Pips Hunter arrow flips red or Trend Trigger lines turn red.

Sell Entry Rules

  • Confirm that both Trend Trigger lines are red, signaling a bearish trend.
  • Wait for a light-red arrow from the Pips Hunter Indicator.
  • Enter a sell trade as soon as the arrow appears while the trend lines remain red.
  • Place a stop loss 3–5 pips above the recent swing high or above the Pips Hunter entry candle.
  • Take profit at 5–10 pips or exit when the Pips Hunter arrow flips blue or Trend Trigger lines turn green.

Advantages

  • Combines trend direction with precise entry timing for higher probability scalps.
  • Clear visual signals make it easy to execute trades quickly.
  • Non-repainting indicators provide reliability in live trading.
  • Targets small, achievable pips, allowing multiple scalps per session.
  • Works best on highly liquid pairs and fast time frames.

Drawbacks

  • Small pip targets can be affected by spreads and slippage.
  • Requires constant monitoring and fast execution.
  • High frequency of trades may increase transaction costs.

A buy trade was entered at 1.0752, with a stop loss at 1.0749 and a take profit of 5 pips at 1.0757.

The target was reached within 3 minutes, capturing a quick and efficient scalp.

The alignment of trend and entry arrow ensured a high-probability trade.

Case Study 2 – GBP/USD M5 Chart

In the New York session, both Trend Trigger lines turned red at 1.3725.

A sell trade was entered at 1.3723 with a stop loss at 1.3728 and a take profit of 10 pips at 1.3713.

The market moved steadily downward, hitting the target within 15 minutes.

The strategy allowed a precise short-term scalp with minimal risk.

Strategy Tips

  • Focus on M1 or M5 charts to maximize the number of scalping opportunities.
  • Always wait for both indicators to confirm before entering to reduce false signals.
  • Stick to small targets of 5–10 pips and exit immediately when conditions change.
