BTC Scalping 3m | Supertrend + MACD Squeeze (NY) [v6 FINAL]BTC 3-Minute Scalping Strategy
Supertrend Bias + MACD Squeeze (New York Session)
This is a fully mechanical BTC scalping strategy designed to capture short momentum bursts that occur when volatility expands in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend.
The strategy combines trend confirmation, volatility compression/expansion, and strict session filtering to reduce noise and improve consistency.
How It Works
Trend Bias
Uses a 15-minute Supertrend to define market direction.
Trades are taken only in the direction of the higher-timeframe trend.
Counter-trend signals are ignored.
Timing & Entry
Executes on the 3-minute chart.
Waits for volatility compression using a LazyBear-style MACD Squeeze.
Enters only when the squeeze releases and momentum turns positive.
Entry occurs on candle close above the execution-timeframe Supertrend.
Session Filter
Trades only during the New York session (13:00–21:00 UTC).
This avoids low-liquidity periods and reduces false breakouts.
Risk & Exits
Dynamic stop-loss placed at the execution-timeframe Supertrend.
Risk is calculated using the actual filled entry price for accurate R-based exits.
Primary profit target is 0.5R, optimized for scalping.
Positions are exited immediately if:
Price closes against Supertrend
Supertrend flips direction
Momentum (MACD histogram) turns negative
Trades are typically short-lived (1–3 candles), keeping exposure minimal.
