Hi everyone,
I’m an active scalper/day trader and I mainly trade momentum breakouts. One challenge I kept running into was aligning entries across timeframes and filtering out false moves.
My current process is based on:
-
MACD alignment on multiple timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h)
-
Volume expansion
-
Trend strength and volatility
-
A probability score to rank setups
After doing this manually for a long time, I ended up building my own tools to automate the scanning and scoring:
• ScalpWatch – focused on very short-term momentum and scalping entries
• TunaSignal.ai – a broader scoring system to spot stocks before strong breakouts
Example: recently a small-cap showed full MACD alignment with rising volume and a high probability score, and the breakout followed shortly after.
Not here to advertise — genuinely curious how other Trading212 traders:
-
Scan for momentum
-
Time their entries
-
Filter fake breakouts in fast markets
Would love to hear how you approach multi-timeframe confirmation and what indicators you rely on most.
