SIGNAL FREQUENCY SCORE · 74/100

Scalping

Definition

A very short-duration trading style targeting small price moves — typically minutes to an hour — with high trade frequency and tight stop losses. Highly sensitive to execution quality and spread.

How Sigmentum uses it

Scalping requires extremely tight spreads and fast execution. At target moves of 5–15 pips on EUR/USD, a 1-pip spread represents 7–20% of the trade's potential profit before it is even placed. Sigmentum signals are not optimized for scalping — they are designed for the 1H and 4H timeframes where R:R ratios of 1.8+ are achievable with practical stop distances. Applying Sigmentum signals to 1-minute charts will generally produce poor results due to noise at that timeframe overwhelming the signal.
