Strategy overview

Break-and-retest trades the moment a level gives way and price returns to it, treating the successful retest — not the initial break — as the entry. What separates this entry from most break-and-retest material is that it outsources the reading: the TradeGenius video "THIS EASY Scalping Strategy is Making BIG Profits!" builds the setup on two TradingView community indicators, "Breaks and Retest with Volatility Stop" and "Corrected QWMA", so the level, the retest and the stop reference are drawn by scripts rather than marked by eye on raw price.

That choice shapes the whole video. The first indicator carries the structural work — identifying the broken level, flagging the return to it, and attaching a volatility-based stop reference — while the Corrected QWMA, a smoothed moving-average variant, sits underneath as the directional filter. The runtime follows a tooling sequence rather than a market-structure lesson: one indicator, then the second, then the long side, then the short side, closing on a backtesting segment. It is applied on the 15-minute chart, which is worth noting given the "scalping" label — 15-minute bars sit at the slow end of what that word usually implies, and the trade cadence follows from the chart, not from the name.

An indicator stack is only as specific as its configuration, and this is where the video stays deliberately open: it points viewers toward experimenting with and fine-tuning the settings themselves rather than fixing them. What changes hands is therefore a template — two scripts, a chart interval, and a direction of travel — with the parameter work left to whoever picks it up. No formal rule set has been extracted for this entry, so treat the page as an orientation to the concept and the source rather than a specification you can trade as-is.

Frequently asked questions

What is a break and retest strategy?

A break and retest strategy waits for price to break through a support or resistance level, then return to that level and hold it before entering. The retest is used as confirmation that the broken level has flipped roles, filtering out breaks that fail immediately.

Which indicators does this version use?

It combines two TradingView community indicators: "Breaks and Retest with Volatility Stop", which handles level detection and a volatility-based stop reference, and "Corrected QWMA", a smoothed moving-average variant used as a directional filter.

Is a 15-minute chart really a scalping timeframe?

It is at the slower end of it. "Scalping" is used loosely across trading content, and on 15-minute bars a setup like this produces far fewer and longer-held trades than the one-minute charts the word usually suggests. The chart interval, not the label, tells you the actual trade cadence.

What should I check before trading an indicator-based setup like this one?

Because the source leaves indicator settings to the viewer, the same two scripts can behave very differently depending on how they are tuned — so define your parameters explicitly, then backtest them on your own market and session before risking capital. Strategy Decoder catalogs strategies like this one from video sources so you can see what a setup is built on before committing time to it.
