Intraday Donchian Channel Scalping Strategy
As intraday traders, we need quick price movements to take advantage of short-term opportunities. Some may call it scalping, but the reality is that markets often try to trap scalpers. That’s why I’m here with a brand-new trading strategy—the Donchian Channel Scalping Strategy.
What’s Inside This Strategy?
In this strategy, we use three indicators to identify trade opportunities effectively:
1. 50-SMA (Simple Moving Average) – Identifying the Trend
The 50-SMA helps us determine the overall trend direction.
If the market is above the 50-SMA, we look for buy (long) trades.
If the market is below the 50-SMA, we look for sell (short) trades.
2. Donchian Channel – Market Strength & Support/Resistance
- The Donchian Channel consists of three lines:
- Top Line – Represents resistance.
- Bottom Line – Represents support.
- Middle Line – Acts as dynamic support or resistance.
Where Can You Use This Strategy?
