Quick Short or Long on a Reversion

Strategy Name: Quick Scalp

Strategy Description: Quick Scalp is a precision-focused scalping strategy engineered for short-term traders aiming to exploit brief directional shifts around Bollinger Band levels. Designed for fast execution and minimal exposure, Quick Scalp leverages intraday price mean-reversion dynamics with clearly defined entry logic and strict risk management. Operating on a 30-minute timeframe, the strategy seeks to capitalise on immediate market inefficiencies using tight profit and stop loss constraints to ensure fast, disciplined trades.

Core Setup:

Price Action Trigger:

• Short Entry: Initiates a short position when the current price crosses below the Upper Bollinger Band, anticipating continued downside or a mean-reversion dip.

• Long Entry: Initiates a long position when the current price crosses above the lower Bollinger Band, signaling a potential bounce or mean-reversion move upward.

Profit Target & Risk Control:

• Take Profit: +0.5%

• Stop Loss: -0.5%

A 1:1 reward-to-risk ratio ensures the strategy remains nimble and balanced, making it ideal for high-frequency opportunities and strict risk control.

Quick Scalp is built for traders who value speed, structure, and repetition. It thrives in environments where quick, rules-based execution outperforms discretionary decision-making — making it a solid tool in any scalper’s arsenal.
