In most cases, the currency market is saddled with lots of impatient participants, which means, they all want to get in and get out trades within the slightest possible time.
To be able to get this done, you’ll need a reliable forex trading strategy that can quickly display entry, as well as exit trade setups.
This is apparently what the ASC Trend Scalping forex trading strategy stands for, considering its design simplicity, alongside its structure.
It is made up of the ASCTrend.ex4 and freescalpingindicator.ex4 technical indicators.
They scan for accurate price reversal points and also measure noise levels in the market to reduce the number of false buy and sell signals.
