Scalping: Scan the Whole Futures Market and Trade In and Out Fast
You want to trade short-term, but just finding which coins are moving today eats up your time. Scalping scans every USDT perpetual contract on the market each minute, picks the ones with heavy trading and enough volatility, enters when the conditions are met, then exits quickly via take-profit, stop-loss or a hold timeout.
This strategy supports Simulation: trades are filled against live prices, but no real orders are placed.
How it works
- 1
Scan the whole market every minute
The system scans all USDT perpetual contracts and keeps only candidates whose 24-hour volume and price range meet the thresholds. You can also limit it to a few coins.
- 2
Enter when conditions are met
Four entry paths — Momentum, Spike pullback, x-day new high and Near breakout — can each be turned on or off. Whichever one triggers first enters the trade, following your Trade direction.
- 3
Cap how many positions are open
The number of coins held at once never goes above your Max concurrent positions. When one exits, its slot frees up right away, so the next scan can fill it with another coin.
- 4
Three ways to exit fast
Hit the take-profit % or the stop-loss % and it closes at market. With Hold timeout on, it also closes if nothing happens within the set time. A coin that just exited cools down for a while first.
Who it's for
- People who like short-term trading but don't have time to keep hunting for coins
- People who want the system to watch many coins at once and pick out the ones that are moving
- People who want to start from a ready-made setup and fine-tune it over time
Key settings
- Quick presets
- Three ready-made setups you can apply in one click — the easiest way to start.
- Notional per position (USDT)
- The position size for each entry; margin depends on the leverage you set on the exchange.
- Take profit (%)
- Closes at market once the price moves this % in your favor.
- Stop loss (%)
- Closes at market once the price moves this % against you.
- Max concurrent positions
- The most coins held at once (default 3).
- Trade direction
- Long & short, Long only or Short only.
Risks and things to know
Total exposure is roughly Notional per position × Max concurrent positions. Make sure your account can handle it when every slot is filled.
Frequent short-term trades rack up fees; set the take-profit too small and fees may eat it up.
If you turn off Stop-Loss Protection, new positions won't get a stop-loss and will be held until take-profit — losses may keep growing.
