Anyone can see that 154.04 is a perfect scalp line setup. It exceeded, by far, all the criteria needed to define a scalp line. There's not one NickB scalp line trader around that wouldn't agree that's a good scalp line, so it's an A+ setup

Does being an A+ setup mean it will be a winner... Of course not! But a line like that has the best chance of winning, so it is the "perfect" setup.
Yes, of course, but that is not the only set up you would ever trade.

The, "only A+ setups," type of traders would wait for that AND ONLY that set up. They would end up missing out on a lot of winning trades that were not A+ but had a high probability in their favor. As a result, they would rarely trade and rarely make money.

See what I'm saying?
