### 1-Minute EMA + RSI Scalping – 2025 Bulletproof Version
(The one that actually survives real spreads, slippage and 2025 volatility)
#### Core Setup (works on MT4/MT5/TradingView)
– EMA 21 (slow, color blue)
– RSI (14) with levels 30 / 70 + midline 50
#### Best Pairs in 2025 (only these – everything else is trash on M1)
1. EUR/USD → lowest spread
2. GBP/USD → highest volatility
3. USD/JPY → cleanest moves
4. XAUUSD (Gold) → only if your broker spread < 25 cents
#### Exact Mechanical Rules (no thinking, no “feels”)
Long Scalp – ALL must be true
1. EMA 8 crosses above EMA 21
2. RSI crosses above 50 at the same candle or previous
3. Price is above both EMAs
4. Enter immediately on close of signal candle
5. Stop-Loss: 8–10 pips (or below the last swing low if closer)
6. Take-Profit: +10 to +14 pips fixed (do NOT get greedy)
Short Scalp – exact mirror
