From the case study
Strategy #102, Trading AMD near the all time high, is the scenario “The all time high scalp”. Read how it played out, chart by chart.
Read the case study →The case study is dated; the results above are this strategy's published version.
On the hourly chart at the tightest setting, the strategy buys with half its available cash on a confirmed move higher and sells half its current position on a confirmed move lower. It only sells above its average cost, holding the position rather than selling when price is below that level.
