Ultimate Scalping Strategy v2
Aug 3, 2025

The Ultimate Scalping Strategy v2 indicator provides a comprehensive trading framework designed for low-timeframe execution using a filtered EMA crossover system. It combines trend confirmation through VWAP with momentum-based signals to help traders identify high-probability intraday scalping opportunities.
Usage
The strategy generates entry signals based on the interaction between a Fast EMA and a Slow EMA. A bullish signal occurs when the Fast EMA crosses above the Slow EMA, provided the price is above the VWAP. Conversely, a bearish signal occurs when the Fast EMA crosses below the Slow EMA while the price is below the VWAP.
Confirmation Filters
Users can refine entries by enabling optional filters:
- Price Action: Requires an engulfing candle at the crossover point to confirm immediate pressure.
- Volume: Requires the entry candle volume to exceed its moving average, ensuring market participation.
Management and Exits
The tool includes automated exit logic that can be visualised directly on the chart:
- ATR-Based Targets: Automatically calculates Stop Loss and Take Profit levels based on market volatility.
- Trailing Stop: An optional feature that replaces fixed targets with a dynamic trail once price moves a specified distance in favor of the trade.
- Reversal Logic: Optionally closes existing positions when a valid signal in the opposite direction is detected.
Details
The script uses a combination of Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) for trend detection and Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP) as a benchmark for intraday value. By ensuring signals only occur on the "correct" side of VWAP, the strategy aligns entries with the broader intraday sentiment. The implementation also features advanced plotting logic that draws active SL/TP lines that appear upon entry and clear upon trade closure, facilitating better visual risk management.
