XAUUSD Scalping Strategy - FVG + CISD
📈 XAUUSD Scalping Strategy – FVG + CISD (3M/5M)
This strategy is designed for high-probability scalping on gold (XAU/USD) using a blend of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and momentum-based price action. It works best on the 3-minute and 5-minute charts with bias from the 15M or 1H timeframe.
🔍 Core Concepts:
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs): Price inefficiencies created when strong displacement candles leave behind imbalanced zones. Used as retracement entry points.
CISD (Change in State of Delivery): Detects momentum shifts using strong displacement candles following a liquidity sweep or market structure break.
Liquidity Sweeps: Identifies stops being taken above recent highs or below recent lows, often leading to a reversal.
Market Structure Break (MSB): Confirms the change in directional bias after a liquidity sweep and displacement.
🧠 Strategy Logic:
Buy Conditions:
Bias is set to “Bullish”
Price sweeps a recent swing low (liquidity grab)
A strong bullish displacement candle confirms momentum (CISD)
A bullish Fair Value Gap forms
A bullish Market Structure Break occurs
Sell Conditions:
Bias is set to “Bearish”
Price sweeps a recent swing high
A strong bearish displacement candle confirms reversal
A bearish Fair Value Gap forms
A bearish Market Structure Break occurs
🎯 Entry & Risk Management:
Entry: Upon retracement into the Fair Value Gap (FVG)
Stop-Loss: Below swing low (for buys) or above swing high (for sells)
Take-Profit: 2x Reward-to-Risk ratio (adjustable)
Alerts: Configurable alerts notify you of qualified trade setups in real time
✅ Best Use Practices:
Use only during high-volume sessions (London/NY open)
Confirm direction using M15 or H1 bias
Avoid ranging markets or choppy sessions
Combine with liquidity zones or higher timeframe supply/demand for stronger confluence
