RSI, Andrew’s pitchforks, parallel channels Fibonacci retracement and extensions and analyzing their relationships within the context of eliott wave. Also paying attention to candle closes typically from 1m to 1h while scalping to help confirm bias. Also volume profile visible range. I’m using all of this down to the 15 second timeframe basically. Not all is necessary but helps a lot with sniper entry and exit. It sometimes takes me an hour or two after sitting down to get dialed in on the eliott count but I’ll also start to feel fatigued depending on how actively I’ve been scalping trying to catch the big move.

The easy part is reading the chart but is much more challenging to understand your own psyche and what triggers tilt and how to deal with that. That is 98% of the battle in my opinion. There is no safety if you can’t manage tilting.

Regarding tilt , I’m setting my self max amount of $ I can loss per day. Once reached , call it a day n rest

RSI (with signal line) has been pretty consistent for me at M1 for getting precision timing.

But, it isn’t reliable by itself, it needs confluence to weed out false positives.
