🎯 Scalping · Multi-confirm
SAR + RSI + Heiken Ashi (3-min)
Three-indicator confluence on the 3-minute chart. Buy when Parabolic SAR flips below price, RSI > 50, and Heiken Ashi turns green. Exit on SAR flip. Fast-fire scalp.
Setup
- Chart: 3-min Heiken Ashi candles on Nifty, BankNifty, or a very liquid stock
- Plot Parabolic SAR (default 0.02, 0.2) and RSI (14) in a lower pane
- Only trade when all three indicators agree in direction — this is the point of the confluence
Entry
Long: Parabolic SAR flips from above price to below (dots now below the candle) AND RSI > 50 AND the current Heiken Ashi candle is green with no lower wick. Short: mirror — SAR above, RSI < 50, red HA with no upper wick.
Exit
Exit immediately when Parabolic SAR flips back. This built-in reversal signal is the whole exit rule.
Stop-loss
Place stop at the most recent SAR dot on the opposite side. Alternatively, 0.3-0.5×ATR — scalps require tight stops.
When it works
- Clean trending intraday sessions (post-open 10:00-11:30 window is ideal)
- All three indicators align cleanly with no lag — high-confidence setup
- Low bid-ask spread instruments where scalp economics survive fees
When it fails
- Choppy sessions — SAR flips 5-6 times in an hour, generating whipsaw losses
- Two indicators agree, one lags — do NOT trade partial confluence
- News-driven volatility spikes that invalidate the tight stop
General trading rules that apply
Regardless of the specific setup, these apply to every strategy on this site:
- Never risk more than 2% of your account on a single trade
- Place a hard stop-loss before entering — no exceptions
- Journal every trade: setup, reason, outcome, one lesson
- After two consecutive losses, stop for the session
- Backtest and paper-trade for a month before deploying real capital
