Learn to scalp using Bollinger Band, Stochastic and Price action

This strategy allows us to find the best price to buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high. As it is a scalping method, hence the currency pair EURUSD with the lowest spread is recommended. As with any other strategy, there is no holy grail so one has to be careful during strong trending market as this strategy tends to work better during range-bound market.
