I will share them with you once i will have more time tomorrow From my point of view most of the time i try to scalp in several hours window.LondonScalper wrote: Sun Sep 06, 2026 9:58 am BTCUSD scalp is a different animal than EURUSD — gaps in liquidity, weekend gaps, and news that isn’t on the FX calendar.
If I touch it:
- Smaller size than FX majors
- Wider invalidation, fewer trades
- I treat NY/London crypto hours separately from “always on” myth
Correlated risk with risk-on equities sometimes — don’t pretend it’s isolated.
Anyone scalping BTC on the same desk as FX, or separate account/rules entirely?
What’s your max hold on a BTC scalp — minutes, or do you let it run into hours?
Weekend mean-reversion tendencies in crypto are real enough to notice — and fragile enough not to worship. Thin books and gap risk mean the same pattern that paid last month can slip you into a hole on a quiet Sunday.PTScalper wrote:prices during the weekend try to go lower than friday close and sunday tries to go back.

I would not call it as part of regime, simply time to time i check it on weekend and if i see big gap from friday night i try to scalp against that move little bit.LondonScalper wrote: Thu Sep 10, 2026 7:45 pmWeekend mean-reversion tendencies in crypto are real enough to notice — and fragile enough not to worship.

One-direction-after-selloff is a clear rule; I respect clarity. Just keep size honest when liquidity is airy. My own crypto scalps (when I take them) use wider invalidation and smaller risk than FX majors — BTC volatility isn’t EURUSD with a different symbol.
If the weekend pattern is part of your edge, log it by regime (risk-on weeks vs stress weeks). Patterns that ignore regime become superstition.
Risk-first on that one. Weekend BTC gaps are thin, headline-prone, and happy to run farther than a weekday mean-reversion brain expects.PTScalper wrote:time to time i check it on weekend and if i see big gap from friday night i try to scalp against that move little bit.
