Hyperscalper's Playbook: S10 & M1 Strategies

This guide provides two complete, high-confirmation trading strategies tailored for
two distinct styles of hyperscalping: the ultra-fast 10-second chart and the more
stable 1-minute chart. The core principle is to diagnose the market's current state and
apply the correct playbook.

Part 1: Core Indicator Concepts

Understanding your tools is the first step to using them effectively.

Moving Averages (MA & EMA)

A Moving Average is one of the most fundamental tools in trading. It smooths out
price data to create a single flowing line, making it easier to identify the direction of
the trend.
●​ Simple Moving Average (SMA): Calculates the average price over a set number
of periods, giving equal weight to all of them.
●​ Exponential Moving Average (EMA): Also calculates an average, but it gives
more weight to the most recent price candles. This makes it react more quickly
to new information, which is essential for short-term trading. For this reason, we
will exclusively use the EMA.
How to Set Up an EMA:
Most trading platforms have a general "Moving Average" (MA) indicator. To make it an EMA:
1.​ Add the "MA" indicator to your chart.
2.​ Open its Settings.
3.​ Find the setting called "Method," "Type," or "Mode."
4.​ Change it from the default "Simple" to "Exponential."
The Alligator Indicator
The Alligator was created by legendary trader Bill Williams to solve a key problem:
knowing when to trade and when to stay out of the market. It uses three smoothed
moving averages that are shifted into the future.
●​ Jaw (Blue Line): The slowest average (13-period). Represents the long-term
trend.
●​ Teeth (Red Line): The medium average (8-period). Represents the intermediate
trend.
●​ Lips (Green Line): The fastest average (5-period). Represents the short-term
trend.
The Creator's Saying:
Bill Williams used a powerful metaphor to describe the market's behavior:
"The longer the Alligator sleeps, the hungrier it gets."

●​ Sleeping: When the three lines are intertwined and moving sideways, the
Alligator is "sleeping." This means the market is trendless and choppy. You should
not trade.
●​ Awakening: When the lines start to separate, the Alligator is "waking up." A new
trend may be forming.
●​ Eating: When the lines are wide apart and moving in parallel, the Alligator has its
"mouth open" and is "eating." This signals a strong, established trend and is the
best time to be in a trade.
Crucial Modification for Hyperscalping:
The default Alligator "shifts" its lines into the future, which creates lag. For our strategy, we
need instant signals. Therefore, we will build a manual, zero-shift Alligator by adding three
separate EMAs with the periods 8, 5, 3 and ensuring the Shift is set to 0 on all of them.
Part 2: The S10 / 5S Strategies
This section contains two distinct playbooks for the 10-second chart. Use the
Breakout Strategy when the market is consolidating and you want to catch the start
of a new move. Use the Trend-Rider Strategy when a trend is already established
and you want to enter on a pullback.

Strategy 2A: The "High-Confirmation Breakout" Strategy

Objective: To be used when the market is quiet or consolidating. The goal is to catch
the powerful initial burst of a new trend.

The S10 Toolkit

●​ Trend Filter: 50 EMA
●​ Entry Signal: Alligator (manual 8, 5, 3 EMAs, zero shift)
●​ Strength Confirmation: ADX (created by J. Welles Wilder Jr.)
●​ Timing Confirmation: Stochastic Oscillator (created by Dr. George Lane)
Indicator Inputs for the S10 Chart
●​ EMA: Period: 50
●​ Alligator EMAs: Periods: 8 (Blue), 5 (Red), 3 (Green)
●​ ADX: Period: 5
●​ Stochastic: %K: 5, %K Smoothing: 3, %D: 3
Execution Checklist
✅ To Make a 5-Second CALL (UP) Trade:
1.​ Trend: Is the price ABOVE the 50 EMA?
2.​ Entry: Has the Alligator's mouth just OPENED UP?
3.​ Strength: Is the ADX ABOVE 25 and rising?
4.​ Timing: Is the Stochastic NOT OVERBOUGHT (not above 80)?
❌ To Make a 5-Second PUT (DOWN) Trade:
1.​ Trend: Is the price BELOW the 50 EMA?
2.​ Entry: Has the Alligator's mouth just OPENED DOWN?
3.​ Strength: Is the ADX ABOVE 25 and rising?
4.​ Timing: Is the Stochastic NOT OVERSOLD (not below 20)?
Strategy 2B: The S10 / 5S "Trend-Rider" Strategy (Revised)
Objective: To be used when a strong trend is already in progress. The goal is to enter
on a small pullback (a "dip") at a dynamic support/resistance level.

The S10 Toolkit

●​ Trend Filter: 50 EMA
●​ Pullback Zone: Alligator's "Jaw" (the Blue 8 EMA)
●​ Timing Confirmation: Stochastic Oscillator

Indicator Inputs for the S10 Chart

●​ EMA: Period: 50
●​ Alligator EMAs: Periods: 8 (Blue), 5 (Red), 3 (Green)
●​ Stochastic: %K: 5, %K Smoothing: 3, %D: 3

Execution Checklist
✅ To Make a 5-Second CALL (UP) Trade:
1.​ Trend: Is the price clearly ABOVE the 50 EMA and the Alligator's mouth is open?
2.​ Pullback: Has the price pulled back and touched the Blue (8 EMA) Alligator
line?
3.​ Timing: Has the Stochastic crossed up from the oversold zone (below 20)?

❌ To Make a 5-Second PUT (DOWN) Trade:

1.​ Trend: Is the price clearly BELOW the 50 EMA and the Alligator's mouth is open?
2.​ Pullback: Has the price rallied and touched the Blue (8 EMA) Alligator line?
3.​ Timing: Has the Stochastic crossed down from the overbought zone (above
80)?
Part 3: The M1 / 30S "Trend-Rider" Strategy
Objective: To be used when a strong trend is already in progress. The goal is to enter
on a small pullback (a "dip") at a high-value price point.

The M1 Toolkit
●​ Trend Filter: 50 EMA
●​ Pullback Zone: Keltner Channel
●​ Timing Confirmation: Stochastic Oscillator

Indicator Inputs for the M1 Chart

●​ EMA: Period: 50
●​ Keltner Channel: EMA Period: 20, ATR Period: 10, Multiplier: 2.0
●​ Stochastic: %K: 8, %K Smoothing: 3, %D: 3

Execution Checklist
✅ To Make a 30-Second CALL (UP) Trade:
1.​ Trend: Is the price clearly ABOVE the 50 EMA?
2.​ Pullback: Has the price pulled back and touched the middle or lower Keltner
Channel band?
3.​ Timing: Has the Stochastic crossed up from the oversold zone (below 20)?

❌ To Make a 30-Second PUT (DOWN) Trade:

1.​ Trend: Is the price clearly BELOW the 50 EMA?
2.​ Pullback: Has the price rallied and touched the middle or upper Keltner
Channel band?
3.​ Timing: Has the Stochastic crossed down from the overbought zone (above
80)?
Part 4: Reading the Candles
Your indicators provide the signals, but the candles tell the real-time story. Use them
for a final layer of confirmation.
●​ Long Candle Bodies: Signal strong momentum and conviction.
●​ Long Wicks: Signal a battle and potential reversal. A long lower wick is bullish; a
long upper wick is bearish.
●​ Small Bodies (Dojis): Signal indecision and a potential pause or reversal in the
trend.
A strong breakout candle on your entry signal adds significant confidence to trade.
