Momentum Entries Off Liquidity Walls

Quant Scalp operates on raw order book depth and tape aggression. Entries trigger on verified absorption or bounces off institutional limit clusters with minimal distance to protective stops.

The 50 / 30 / 20 Ladder and Breakeven Rule

The position scales out in three tiers: TP1 (50% at 1R), TP2 (30% at 2R), and TP3 (20% trailed).

Crucially, upon TP1 execution, the Stop Loss is immediately moved to breakeven plus fee coverage, guaranteeing risk-free run.
