Hey there đđŒ
In todayâs edition, weâll learn about Super Trader Lakshyaâs effective scalping strategy that combines 2 useful indicatorsâŠ

EMA + Bollinger Bands
Exponential Moving Averages, referred to as 'EMAs,' are computed as averages of recent stock prices, with greater significance given to the latest data points. They often serve as effective support or resistance lines.
Another interesting indicator is the Bollinger Band, which generates overbought and oversold signals based on a calculation involving simple moving averages & standard deviations.
Letâs combine the 2 for an effective scalping strategy âŹ
An Effective Scalping Strategy
The strategy involves:
> Using 9-period and 21-period EMAs in a 15-minute chart
> Simultaneously, using a combination of Bollinger Bands and the 21-period EMA in the hourly chart
Hereâs how you can create a long/short position according to the strategy âŹ
Long Trade:1) In a 15-minute chart, one can enter when the 9 EMA crosses the 21 EMA from below 2) One can exit when the candles touch the upper Bollinger Band in the 1-hour timeframe | Short Trade:1) In a 15-minute chart, one can enter when the 9 EMA crosses the 21 EMA from above 2) One can exit when the candles touch the lower Bollinger Band in the 1-hour timeframe |
Note: Avoid taking trades when the EMA lines are flattish. Only initiate a trade when the lines are steep to avoid a false breakout.

Example - Long Trade in BANKNIFTY
You can see how an entry is triggered as the 9-period EMA crosses the 21-period EMA from below in the 15-minute timeframe, and one can exit as the price touches the upper Bollinger Band in the 1-hour timeframe.
