For a 15-minute scalp on $QNT /USDT at $190, you are playing intraday momentum right under the critical $193–$194 resistance block. On this short timeframe, risk management must be tight to avoid getting caught in a sharp pullback.
Key 15-Min Scalp Setup
Entry: Market / Limit around $189.50 – $190.50
Stop Loss (SL): $186.20 (Just below the local 15m higher-low structure; ~2% risk)
Take Profit Targets:
TP1: $193.50 (Test/Break of local 4H high — lock in partial profits)
TP2: $197.80 (Liquidity sweep above psychological $195)
TP3: $203.00 (Momentum extension target)
Execution & Scalp Rules
Volume Spike Requirement: Ensure 15m volume is expanding as price pushes past $191. A weak, low-volume creep into $193 often results in a quick rejection.
Move SL to Breakeven: As soon as price hits TP1 ($193.50), immediately trail your Stop Loss to entry ($190) to secure a risk-free trade.
Invalidation: If a 15-minute candle closes below $187.00, close the scalp manually rather than waiting for full SL, as structure breaks bearish short-term.
