QQE Flat Scalping (M15)

A clean M15 scalping approach that pairs QQE with a flat‑range filter.
We mark flat consolidations (“box”) and only engage when price exits the box and QQE confirms a momentum shift.

Tools

• QQE (e.g., RSI(14) smoothed; default QQE Fast/Slow).
• Flat filter / box drawn from recent swing highs/lows.
• ATR(14, M15) for risk and position sizing; optional EMA(20/50).

Market logic

During flat phases, liquidity builds and energy compresses. A box break + QQE confirmation reduces false starts versus raw breakouts.

Setup checklist

1. Flat identified: overlapping candles, low range, clear box edges.
2. QQE bias: QQE line crosses its signal or exits neutral with the break.
3. Trigger: close outside the box and no immediate snap‑back.

Trigger

• Place a decision level at a box edge.
• Enter on close through the edge (or a quick retest that holds).
• If price re‑enters the box within 3 bars, stand aside.

Entry

• Enter on close of the trigger bar or on a quick retest that holds.

Stop Loss

• Beyond the opposite box edge, or ATR(14) × 1.2–1.6 (wider of the two).

Take Profit

• First target: 1.0R–1.5R;
• Runner: trail behind micro‑swings or EMA20; reduce into prior session levels.

Filters & risk

• Skip news windows (±30–60 min) for the instrument.
• Avoid signals when QQE is flat/tangled.
• Risk ≤ 0.5%–1%; one active position per symbol.
