Resistance Zone: 4486--4494--4516
Trade Overview:
In this trade idea, we'll focus on scalping the SPX using the support and resistance zones identified on the 15-minute chart. Scalping involves making multiple quick trades within short time frames to capture small price movements.
Trade Plan:
1. Entry Strategy:
Buy (Long): If the price bounces off the lower boundary of the support zone (around 4440-4434) with a bullish candle, consider entering a long position.
Sell (Short): If the price drops from the upper boundary of the resistance zone (around 4486-4494) with a bearish candle, consider entering a short position.
2. Stop-Loss:
For long positions, set the stop-loss just below the support zone or the recent swing low.
For short positions, set the stop-loss just above the resistance zone or the recent swing high.
3. Take-Profit:
Take profits for long positions at the upper boundary of the resistance zone or a predefined target level, ensuring a favorable risk-to-reward ratio (e.g., 1:1 or better).
Take profits for short positions at the lower boundary of the support zone or a predefined target level, with a similar risk-to-reward ratio.
4. Risk Management:
Since scalping involves quick trades, limit your risk to a very small percentage of your trading capital (e.g., 0.5% or less).
Given the short timeframe, be prepared to exit the trade if it's not moving in your anticipated direction.
