Elliot waves and some candlestick patterns are useful for scalping.
But recently when I did some scalp trades, I tried to use Bollinger bands, which is kinda useful too. I just watched it from Youtube before on how to use Bollinger bands, it is a newbie-friendly indicator that may help you to find a good trade entry.
Yeah I know about candlestick being useful at times when you understand it. And Bollinger band too but I have not watched the practice on YouTube. You could send a link to that about bollinger if you still having it and the parameter setting .
IDK about you guys, but Bollinger band is laggy, and can't count on it alone, from my perspective i won't enter the market without elite waves theory which I recommend for every trader, mastring Elliot wave is a GREAT book to start about it
Note; not easy, needs a lot of time, BUT WORTH IT
