One-Minute Scalping Signals with STC and ATR Trend Bands

Summary

This indicator-based scalping system combines a Schaff Trend Cycle signal with an ATR-based trend line and a long-term exponential moving average. The trend line is built from rolling price extremes adjusted by smoothed true range. A long signal requires price to cross above that line, the trend state to be positive, the STC to be rising, and price to be above the long-term average; short conditions reverse those tests. The STC also generates alerts at extreme readings when it turns.

The title identifies a one-minute use case, but the source supplies no backtest configuration, performance evidence, entry sizing, or exit and stop rules. It is therefore best understood as signal logic rather than a complete, validated scalping method. Very short-term use would be sensitive to spread, fees, slippage, and alert timing, none of which the document measures. The parameter list exposes the cycle lengths and ATR trend settings, but does not establish suitable values across markets or timeframes.

Key ideas

• The system combines STC momentum, an ATR-adjusted trend line, and a long-term EMA filter.
• Long and short signals require price to cross the trend line in alignment with trend state and STC direction.
• The STC generates separate alerts when it turns from extreme readings.
• The source does not define position sizing, exits, stop losses, or any backtest results.
• Transaction costs and execution conditions are especially relevant to the one-minute use case.
